I have similiar issue. Wrote about it here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62836930&postcount=7060
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
I finally got the OBD USB to work properly. And it finally connects to Torque. Apparently my hub was missing a jumper, which I found luckily on my DVD-Rom drive in my computer. Now I just gotta figure out this SSD mounting issue. I got a USB host app and the drive does appear there. I just can't find the directory under ES file explorer
[Android Head-Units] isthisadagger:
In the cable loom of the quadlock there are 2 wires that are disconnected on delivery. At first i tried it with both connected and then switched to both disconnected.

Now the hardware buttons are only lit when the car's lights are on and the screen dims accordingly.

If i remember correctly those 2 are the speed and illu wires.

As for the volume changing at higher speeds. I did never notice a change. Neither with nor without the cable attached.
[Android Head-Units] htc-rocks:
Thanks, I'll have a look at that next time I get the head unit out. I didn't change anything on the supplied VW specific loom but I will disconnect "illumination" if it is connected and see how it goes...

I have also noticed that my key mappings now take a while to start working after boot. I use stock launcher but didn't notice the (minor) issue before i upgraded to xdauto. Although it could just be because I have a lot more apps installed now.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
What is a while? How long does it take? Since it all gets setup by the app I'm not sure exactly when it happens.

I've never noticed any delay before my SWC start working once the unit has booted but I've got the standby set now so that it rarely needs to do a full boot.

On another note, I've explored it a bit and I suspect with some serious development time we could probably shave off 5-10 seconds off cold boot time.
[Android Head-Units] htc-rocks:
So after booting and opening poweramp I'd say another it was another 10-15 seconds before I could begin playback with the button.

No big deal - I plan on having a long standby time anyway.

Saving time off a cold boot would be amazing though.

I remember my old HTC desire had a fast boot mode where you could put the phone to sleep and it would load back up in a few seconds as long as you hadn't taken the battery out. Pretty useless feature on a phone but it would be awesome on a head unit. Suppose the problem would be finding somewhere safe to save the current state of the unit to load up???
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
Just reposting, as it appears it was missed the first time :

Does this unit send and receive bluetooth?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] htc-rocks:
Do you mean audio?? The unit does have a mic and speakers for two way conversation over bluetooth.

Sorry if that isn't what you mean.
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
Thanks for the reply!

Here is my situation: I've got an audio processor that can communicate via bluetooth with a Windows/Android/BlackBerry device. And over this device I can change the presets, volume, etc.

For what it's worth, this is the module: http://mosconi-system.it/product/mos_btm/
[Android Head-Units] htc-rocks:
Right. I won't pretend to know what that device is but I can try to explain this newsmy units bluetooth setup.

The newsmy system has two bluetooth modules. One is located in the head unit and acts like a simple hands free kit. The second is located in the "android box" and has all the same functionally that you would expect to find on one fitted to an android smartphone.

Hope that helps?
[Android Head-Units] isthisadagger:
I have no delay of any kind when using swc. As soon as the ignition is on and poweramp is visible i can use them. It does not matter if it is from standby or full boot. In case this is launcher related, i am using nova launcher.
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
I believe it does! Thank you for all your help.

So, just to clarify, if I were to search for a BT signal in my car, I would see two different BT networks?

Thanks again
[Android Head-Units] htc-rocks:
Correct :)

got mine today, where do you guys get the wires for your car? All i can find is well known brands
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Found the menu... tried playing with the sensitivity. Nothing helps :( Still takes a while to work

I tried fiddling with the launcher and disabling the custom launcher but still the issue occurs. I am guessing i was wrong and it is not related to the launcher. I am still however having issues with the buzz launcher widget taking long to load.

I think mine takes around half a minute to aminute... The only thing left for me to try is to try and reflash xdauto and see if that helps. Not sure why though since i never used to have this problem.

[EDIT] Ok so i tried uninstalling poweramp and flashing xdauto 1.6.2c again but it still takes around a minute to start working proberly. Moreover i also forgot to mention i am back on MCU v40 after flashing to 46 back to 40 then to 44 then back to 40 to make sure that 40 got flashed properly. The issue seems to have started from when i installed buzz launcher and flashed to v46... just cannot seem to find the proper issue :(
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
EDIT - You need to have the head unit on to mirror to my laptop? No other way of doing it so i can see the screen without the head unit?

i got mine today, i have been looking at the wiki installed drivers they work fine. How do i load it so i can see it on my laptop.

I have looked but must of missed it.

thanks again guys

I installed a USB webcam in order to use it as a dashcam and it works but I can't capture any video using it? taking pictures works

I'm running xdAuto and the webcam is the Genius F100 Widecam

I can capture video using my other webcam (Creative VF0700)

someone else got the same setup running (youtube.com watch?v=OrQL8rYHmMY)

I would be really grateful if you could help me out, especially since the webcam is already glued in place...

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Just curious, I was thinking of getting this webcam as well... why would you need videos? Are you trying to take videos using the default app? Did you try another camera app? What about the daily roads app for using as dash cam? Moreover is the microphone working properly for 'OK Google'?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Benutzrname:
I want to take videos using the daily roads app

I tried capturing video using the default app, the google camera and multiple dashcam-apps

The microphone is functioning properly but the quality and volume is as to be expected from a webcam

What I don't get is why this webcam refuses to let me capture the video when it can take photos and other webcams work...

7 - is possible get mirrorlink to see my display phone in radio and control my phone by radio?

Thanks for everyone want help my question
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
I'm working on my wiring harness right now and I've got a few questions:

-There are 2 illumination wires coming from the Newsmy, both get soldered to the wiring harness, together?

-There are two grounds, do both get connected to the wiring harness ground wire? Or does one get ran to an actual ground location?

-There are two "B+battery" wires, those get spliced together and soldered to the wiring harness, labeled "12-volt battery".

-The blue wire, "antenna control automatically" where does this get into?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Idk about the illumination wires, I think mine only had one

The 2 grounds you would want to keep together, and I spliced mine to my car's harness ground wire. If you were to separate grounding locations you might end up wit ground loops, which aren't good

The same with the 2 constant battery wires. Spliced both to my car's constant wire.

That blue wire I believe is the amp turn on. If you have any amplifiers in your system and you want them to come on when the head unit does, you'd extend this wire all the way to your amp's turn on connection.
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
Just to clarify, for the ground wire, I'll run a wire from a factory ground location and spliced that into all 3 harness grounds (1 from wiring harness adapter and 2 from Newsmy unit).

Regarding the blue wire, check out this image from the Wiki:

[IMG="Wire"]http://s11.postimg.org/xn02lujz7/Screenshot_2015_09_20_18_19_37.png[/IMG]

On the top harness, the blue wire is labeled as, "Antenna control automatically", whereas on the smaller harness, there is a blue/white wire labeled, "amp turn on".

*EDIT* To add to the confusion, the wiring harness I purchased also has a an "amp turn-on" wire".

I AM, trying to utilize an external amplifier.

So, I am confused about the solid blue wire.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Oh yeah my bad! That blue wire would be if your car's radio antenna is motorized. If your car's antenna doesn't move, then you can ignore that wire.
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
That makes total sense, thank you!

So, does the wiring harness remote wire and the Newsmy remote wire get spliced together and then ran to the amp?
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Depends on your vehicle. If you're running stock speakers, and if you know your car has an amplifier (such as Bose systems) then yes, you would splice the unit's amp on to the car's harness and your external amplifiers, though there is a better and "proper" way to accomplish this scheme.

But if your car doesn't have any stock amplifier, you can ignore your car amp on wire at the harness
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
Again, makes perfect sense.

Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Hope I helped! Good luck!
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
I'll say!

[IMG="moarwirez"]http://s12.postimg.org/8l7tpp9f1/20150920_205633.jpg[/IMG]
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Not necessarily. Some cars have "powered antennas" which help boost signal reception. While the antenna doesn't physically move, it does have 12V going to it for reception gain.
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Well that works! Hopefully the car's harness will be labeled appropriately if that is the case

No Sound

I received my NU5002 last week and began installing it this weekend.

The only time I get sound through the speakers is if I open the Backup Camera App. As soon as I close the app the sound quits. Also, when I open the app it doesn't display anything despite it being hooked up to a backup camera.

I've updated the MCU and switched to the xdAuto ROM, but that didn't fix the issue.

Has anyone ran into this before, and have a fix?
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
where in the wiki does it show/tell you how to connect the box to your computer. If i missed it im sorry but can not see it anywhere
[Android Head-Units] PokeNer:
There is a mini-USB port on the box. Connect that to your computer. I believe you can also connect the HDMI port to another display if you want to connect it to something other than the HU. If you do that, then you have to power the box with DC.
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:

Working: Hauwei E303 3G USB Dongle

I just got my car on the Internet. I bought this USB dongle hoping that it would work, and it did.

With an unactivated T-Mobile SIM, I was able to get a teaser amount of data without activating the card.

I then got an AT&T SIM and added the dongle to my data plan. In order to do so, I had to create a custom APN as described here.

I was then able to install a new app from the Play Store, and get live GPS navigation using the Maps app, so it looks like it's working just fine.

Note that this dongle does enumerate with a CD-ROM drive, and it gives an ERROR response to the AT^U2DIAG=0 command, but it's working with the latest version of xdAuto nevertheless.

EDIT: Argh; misspelling in title. It's "Huawei" in reality. Apparently I can edit the content of my post but not the title.

[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
If you want to see the output of the android device you really need to have it hooked to HDMI or to the Head Unit. In theory you could install some software to mirror the display somewhere, but it would likely be a chicken and the egg problem. How would you configure everything if you can't get at the configuration settings.

Do you read Chinese?

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

That's the ISO connector. If your vehicle doesn't have that connector you'd likely cut it off and solder the wires to a harness that adapts to what your vehicle has.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

When you switch to bootloader mode the device shows up differently to the operating system so you need to install a different driver, reinstall, or I vaguely remember something else you can do. I don't regularly run Windows so I have only had to do that the one time I tested it out in a virtual environment.

Hi, i havent been around for a while after i installed the head unit. Basically i installed someones custom interface and left it as that.

Can someone please tell me how to install XDAuto? I have not used the RKbatchtool before and was hoping it was now as easy as the official sd card updates are. (just plug in the sd card)

Do i need to install the latest MCU first also?

Im sorry if this gets asked a lot, but ive read the wiki and am still confused.

Dear,

I have firmware, tools and anything needed.

How to recover?

Tks!
[Android Head-Units] toologic:
Change boot logo separately.

Sorry for delay (i was very busy)

Now i test way for separate flash only boot.img from xDAuto-1.1.6c2.zip firmware.

If you want to see your car logo as boot logo you can change it by follow step:

1. Extract boot.img from archive xDAuto-1.1.6c2.zip

(1.2) If you want change boot logo from another firmware (i.e. stock update.img, or xDAuto-1.6xx.img) you can unpack it by RK31xx-Tool (or FFT)

2. Load boot.img in RK31xx-Tool and extract it.

3. Change boot logo in kernel (as I wrote earlier) on your car logo

(3.1) in FFT this operation more easier.

4. Pack boot.img again ( as result you get "new_boot.img" file in root directory your RK31xx-tool application)

5. Run RKAndroidTool.

5.1. Copy you "new_boot.img" into rockdev/Image/ directory with default name (boot.img) or any name, but you must change path and filename in application config panel

5.2 Enable Checkbox ONLY for your boot.img row

5.3. Check address (0x0000A000) for boot partition

6. Connect your device USB wire

7. Click "Switch" button for reload your device into "burn-ready" status

7.1. You get "Switch Ok" message and status row will be "Found RKAndroid Loader Rock Usb"

8. Click "Run" (only) button and wait 2 second

8.1 This is operation log

I didn't do anything. I took the dongle out of the package, put in the SIM card, created the custom APN, and it worked.

(Actually, I did attempt to disable the CDROM drive with AT^U2DIAG=0 before plugging it into the Newsmy, but the command didn't appear to have any effect.)

I don't even know what usb_modeswitch is. :)

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

Here's what I did:

I downloaded the tuatara rom, named it "update.img" on the SD card, put the SD card in, and booted. A minute or so after boot you get a prompt to update. I did so.

Then, since you now have root, install a "boot to recovery" utility.

Download the latest xdAuto .zip file and put it on the SD card. Boot to recovery.

Use a USB keyboard to select "update .zip from external SD card" (or similar). Point to the xdAuto .zip file.

Done. No USB tether to a host computer required.

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

I don't think the head unit supports bridging, but at the same time you don't need bridging in your case. Just hook up the front left/right speaker outputs to your 2 speakers, and leave the rear outputs from the head unit unconnected.

(Bridging of amplifiers is a term used to describe using 2 amplifiers to drive 1 speaker. It can double the output power since you've got 2 amps working for you. Bridging is a feature typically only found on higher-end amplifiers.)

Hello

well I can answer a couple of questions:

1 - yes screen changes to an incoming call

2 - not sure - what do you mean edit this popup?

3 - yes you might have to switch to google maps again though

4 - the microphone i got with it seems to be very good for calling and can hear me, atleast thats what everyone who has called me says. for voice commands you will need a usb microphone. People have started using webcams like the logitech c270- i still need to try this out.

5 - I thin the question is answered in No4

6 - I am not sure but i guess you can if it is supported in android.

7 - No idea here sorry :(

Hope this helps. Maybe someone else can answer your other questions? :) Gdluck!

Thanks for your help.

I have managed to install the tuatara rom but i have accidentally installed the wrong one i think. Now i cant find my internal_sd, so a lot of my programs are not working. I couldnt not work out how to install the correct tuatara rom over the top of this so i went and installed the XDAuto rom over the top. That is working, but i still dont have my internal_sd location.

How can i get my internal_sd back please?
[Android Head-Units] NogginBoink:
I had the same problem on my unit, but I didn't realize it was due to the Tuatara ROM. I had to reformat the internal SD card from the Settings menu to get things working. I'm not in my car right now so I don't have the sequence of steps in front of me.
