It's writing to the MCU nand flash while the bar is going across, the MCU doesn't load the new data until the reboot.

If you don't reboot it's safe to try again. If you reboot without the bar getting to 100% you'll probably end up with a broken MCU.

Ok i've tried now, the conf file is there, and I have enabled logging, but it's suppose to store the logs in /var/log and out unit dont have a var/log folder so i created one, but no logs are generated, are we sure that the modeswitch deamon even is running?

Hey guys has anyone had problems with his/her gps? On google maps it keeps saying waiting for location. Moreover if i turn off my location by mistake it doesnt seem like it will turn on. I usually might have to restart it.

Hi everyone

I need to extend the main connector in order to organize the cables behind the unit in the dash.

How it named?[IMG="Nu3001"]http://xdaforums.com/wiki/images/c/cf/CarPadIIS_connections.jpg[/IMG]

The A one with 20 pins.

OK.... Yeah we should check that. Maybe check and see if usb_modeswitch will even run at the command line
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Ok i managed to get it to work. I think it was related to the time that wasnt set up properly. Now the only other problem is that google maps doesnt seem to get the direction i am pointing correctly. It is always pointing at the same direction. Is this normal?

It would run at the command line when I first committed the initial PR, but I didn't have any way to test it other than that since i don't have any devices to interact with.

updating from factory ROM

hi,

I'm trying to update my NU5002 with 1.1.6c with a SD. First I updated the MCU to v40 and that went flawless. Then I whiped my SD card clean and put the 1.1.6c.img file in the root of the SD card plugged it in the android box, rebooted the box and waited for like 5 minutes .....nothing happened. Then formatted the SD to FAT32 ( was NTFS before ) and copied the image file again, plugged it in the box, waited for 5 minutes nothing happens. By the way in both cases the system starts up fine with the main screen. Does anyone know what's wrong??

The SD card is mounted properly because I can see the .img file in ESExplorer.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
First off: xdauto does not support installing via the filesystem with img files. You need to use rkbatchtool and USB connection to update with an img file. We have a different recovery that won't install the files properly and I don't have the time or the motivation to modify the recovery to handle it properly.

If you want to upgrade without using USB and rkbatchtool you should be able to go to Tuatara's ROM and then using the CWM recovery you can flash a zip file.

The rkupgrade tool on the android box is looking for the file to be named update.img, that is likely why you aren't seeing anything happen but please don't just rename the xdAuto rom and try that because it likely won't work out.
[Android Head-Units] boschie:
Thanks for the tip of this game. I am playing it now with lots of fun.

But I really think it is not for a car... One gets way distracted when running it in the car.

It seems like a real collision hazard in the make.
[Android Head-Units] f(x):
Try mount the gps antenna as high as possible, preferably away from any metal surface. I initially had mine mounted just like yours, then I moved it couple inches higher, just underneath the dashboard and away from any metal. It made a huge difference in reception.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

what kind of problem are you having and which car is the radio installed on?

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

The info is on the diagram on the lower left corner of the photo you uploaded. You can find it in the wiki page under ISO wires as well. It's an standard ISO connector.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
I did and I think I managed to fix it. However the compass still isn't working.. regardless where I mount it. Does this unit have an actual compass /magnetometer?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] f(x):
I don't think this unit has compass or magnetometer, but don't quote me on this :)
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
So does your gps tell you what direction you're facing? XD
[Android Head-Units] Kasush:
It recognizes direction of travel, but only when moving faster than 5 kph.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Ok thanks so what gps app are you using then please?

Google Maps, Waze and every other I have used.

Hi. guys,

Did anyone happen to have any luck with any of the digitizer and/or display companies? My knowledge is very limited with respect to this kind of hardware, but please let me know if there's anything I can do to help with a search for a display/digitizer supplier. It would be great to find a cure for the display brightness issue!

Thanks a bunch,

Patrick
[Android Head-Units] ChrisK-WA:
Good question, I've been wondering the same thing as well. I'm not sure about other Toyota owners, but my display is the same height but 7 7/8 inch wide. I'd love to have glass there rather than the plastic filler piece.

[Android Head-Units] twitchyzero:
Hey everyone,

I've narrowed down my 2GB ram head unit to this and the winlink/ownice. I want a wireless solution as I get into the car and have bluetooth autoconnected so I can stream Google Music from my phone ready to go and not have to even pull out my phone with voice activated messaging/search. I also want backup cam. Does this offer that?

Several questions:

Android box via firewire. So do you guys have this tucked away in the fuse panel/glove compartment? The head unit will not function without it?

on the wiki page: Rearview Camera Composite in (not visible by Android)...what does this mean? The input is there but it doesn't work?
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Yes this unit should offer everything you are looking for. And yes the unit will not work without the android box... this is the actual brains of the unit. And from what i can understand is that the rearview camera is independent from the android box meaning that the head unit takes care to display it. Infact if the android box is still booting up but you put the vehicle in reverse, the reversing camera will still work (granted you have set everything properly) :)
[Android Head-Units] twitchyzero:
How long does boot up take?

I think I will end up getting Pioneer's NEX 4100 AA/CarPlay....brand name for under $200 more seems like a safer bet even if it means behing wired down...are there reports of the News My dying within a year?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Bootup is around 30 seconds, though you can enable a standby that keeps the device running after you turn it off so it doesn't need a full boot each time. I have mine set for 24 hours so I very rarely have to go through a full boot process.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
run the usb_modeswitch.sh file. It should start it. I guess it's not autoloading....
[Android Head-Units] owhbaem:
Hi, i will get this head unit by tomorrow, i just want to know, is there any speed signal wire in this headunit? My current head unit had this speed signal wire input that allows the unit to turn sound out loud when the car sped up, wish someone can give the answer. Thank you in advance
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
The Newsmy unit can do the same through a setting in the MCU update application.

Not sure about a speed wire, I have a feeling it does it via GPS signal.

Edit: if there is a speed wire, it will be on the other wire harness along with the power wires, not the one you've shown.
[Android Head-Units] Kasush:
With Maps, when in free mode, no directions, tap on the target icon in the lower right. This will slightly tilt the map and set orientation to directing our travel. If in direction mode, navigation, it will do this automatically.

Hope that helps.

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

I don't think there is any danger of Newsmy dieing within a year. They have been around much longer than a year already and are getting set to release new versions of their devices.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Yes there is a speed signal wire, though the image on the wiki doesn't have it properly marked. The diagram on the head unit shows the proper position of it.
[Android Head-Units] owhbaem:
Tq so much for the information :)
[Android Head-Units] gohigher123:
I've a question. Don't now it's a setting or it's a problem that hasn't bean resolved yet. When i have the radio app open and playing( or an other music player) and someone calls me the volume of the conversation is very low. So you have to level up the volume to hear what the person is saying. But then when you leave the conversation , it gets back to the music that was playing. But now it's playing very loud. Isn't there a way to separate the sound level from bluetooth and other audio sources?
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Thanks i'll try it out :D

Which one exactly? the blue wire?

[Android Head-Units] xyfix:
So I downloaded Tuatara's update-1.1.4.2-tuatara.img file and put it on my SD card. I got the install window and I pressed install, the unit reboots and then the picture of an android lying on the ground with an red exclamation mark coming out of it's stomach is shown. This image will stay on the screen for approximately 5 min and then the home screen is shown and after a minute or so I get a window with the message "Firmware update failed! Do you want to delete the file? if not, the system may propose this update again".

What am I doing wrong? I renamed the tuatara file to update.img, but I'm starting to think the file is not correct

Why can't xda make a subforum f

We need a subforum its really hard to keep everything in 1 thread
[Android Head-Units] iHarry:
Has anyone tried it? How it works?

I thought different cars have different speed output signal?
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
You had best redownload it, or try another SD card first as there are flaky ones around.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I've never tried using the SD method, I highly recommend getting the USB rkbatchtool method working as that is the only way you will be able to flash an image if you end up screwing up the device. Better to get it working properly now than when you are panicking because it's not working right.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
May be a subforum is ideal, but dont depend in us.

But what about create a separated thread for xdauto?¿
[Android Head-Units] zanix:

I'm trying to install steering keys wires on the head unit but the head unit does not recognize them (using the texteditor app).

I'd not like to spend so much money on expensive hardware adaptators so I tried to connect WHEEL-KEY1, WHEEL-KEY2 and WHEEL-KEY GROUND cables to my original steering cables (NF-R, NF-L and Ground; see pictures in link => i49.tinypic.com/73iemw.jpg) without success. In my case, is a Seat Ibiza (6J version) car but i suppose it could be valid for most of vag autos. Probably exists some electrical scheme for NU3001 steering connectios or similar...
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I suspect you will need a canbus adapter or wire up the canbus to the head unit and do some custom coding to get your controls to work.

I'm also trying to figure out to get my steering wheel control working. You cannot pick some random canbus converter , it has to be the correct one , and don't forget to orde the chineese lead for it. It's a connector with 3 cables , key1 , key2 and gnd.
[Android Head-Units] JeepAndroid:
Hi mate,

Saw your post about wiring speakers directly to the head unit with no amp, and have done the same (rears only at this point), I just find its not loud enough and I am nervous about wiring the fronts and tweeters only to have to redo the whole thing.

How are you finding the volume? I plan to wire the woofer to a monoblock amp via rca as suggested!

What didn't you like about the 5 channel amp?
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
i was thinking to do the same as you for my bmw (tap the swc wires from the clockspring) to avoid spending on a canbus adaptor as i believe the swc buttons are resistive before it is converted in the canbus to the stock radio. are you sure you tapped the correct wires?
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
Does your jeep have the infinity or alpine package, or just a regular sound system? Mine has the alpine package, and I replaced all 4 speakers with upgraded alpines and they are plenty loud enough and very clear. You cannot fade though, as this was originally done through the canbus and not implemented in the PAC adapter.

If you have the stock alpine amp, just wire the PAC adapter to it and use the existing wires. The stock rear speakers really suck and you won't be impressed with them any way you go about it until you replace them.

Make sure you set up viper according to the wiki, and use both eq and convolver. I use a monoblock amp and an additional sub go give it some bass and it sounds amazing. Just wire it to the rca cables from the newsmy.
[Android Head-Units] owhbaem:
Hi, one question, just received today, can i connect the yellow and brown wire together at battery wire? When i connect this wire, the unit does load up 20 seconds and not in standby.

[Android Head-Units] rendl:
Standby did not work for me even with mcu41 and stock rom 1.1.16.

When i changed rom to XDAuto it started to work without wiring changed.[emoji4] So maybe you correct the wiring and if not good enough update to latest stock rom version first ( box! Not mcu..)

[Android Head-Units] bernard69:
Yes, the wires were correct. I measured voltage on them and i could read around 1V...anyone could say whether this is normal on resistive buttons or they are just canbus wires?
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Without the wires from the steering wheel being connected to anything then there should be no voltage on them if they are resistive. You should be able to measure a resistance between at least two of the wires when a button is pressed. I'm not sure what voltage would be read across them once the head unit is connected as I would expect it would need to apply a voltage in order to detect a drop when a button is pressed.
[Android Head-Units] JeepAndroid:
Hi JkChris!

I found the power amp volume was set to medium thus restricting volume, it's sounding

seriously

amazing now!!! And I still have fade! Running wire from soundbar wasn't that hard, just a game of patience.

Renedis is friggin right... The amp on this unit is

really really good!

, going to wire the sub to a monoblock like you've done through the RCA tonight!

I have the infinity system and originally had everything connected thru the stock amp and didn't like it. I've let all the wiring intact should I ever want to go stock, (although the tweeter pods have felt the power of my dremel lol )

It looks really alike to the NU3001, except for minor changes. I can´t speak for the hardware or anything, as I´ve not testet it, but it looks like it got all the things this unit is missing. (Several outputs) along with mirroring capabilities and RGB buttons, 16GB nad storrage... So if anyone are despereat for more outputs, I guess i found a solution?? haha :cowboy:

I've not used one of them, and its been a while since I read through their thread. At one time, I believe it was thought that the hardware (Tuner in particular) was inferior to the AN-21U and NU3001. The software layer is a little more advanced than stock NU3001, and they have an open/root/bootloader, so they are able to do some customization (I don't think they have full source like we do though).
