hey guys, im thinking of buying an Android HU. which one would you choose based on your experiences ? Newsmy or "Huifei" units ? it seems radio and rds isnt really working on Newsmy, but what about 3G/4G dongle ? some of you are really happy with their purchases ? not facing any daily bugs orninconvenient issues ?

Also one question with SWC...are common features such as forward/backward..vol+/vol- are working or can be set ?

i can't find the exact depth, can you give it to me ?
[Android Head-Units] :
Really!!!

hows this for daily inconvenience, just installed radio to find out mic is defective on h/u.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
- Radio quality for what i know is better on nu3001 than on huifei. RDS is still not implemented on nu3001 buts newsmy is working on it.

- Im not tested, but more than one user has tested 3g/4g dongles and it works fine with no problems

- Im happy at all. there are small things or bugs, some of them can be solved with 3rd party app / hardware, other need to wait till newsmy or a developer can handle it.

- SWC you can map and configure it to do what you want. (i dont have it working as y have canbus, and cant use it common problem with all units and my car)
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
I found another glitch with igo in this unit. The illumination wire also presses buttons in the igo menu pages like with my SWC volume buttons. Whenever i turn on or off my car lights it presses buttonss in the igo menus lol

Poweramp - music folder

I am also using poweramp, but i am having a problem getting poweramp to find my usb hdd @ /mnt/usb_storage. Do you have this issue?

Weird thing is that if i use auto-find music it locates my music @ /mnt/usb_storage, but i would like to be able to point it to this location only, instead of searching every file and folder.

Thanks

try using here maps its like google maps but more functional and you search for stuff while in offline mode.

Has anybody thought about trying to understand the pinout on the "firewire" connector? I'm assuming its not a standard firewire interface but I am intrigued as to how they manage to get both the display and data/control through to the devices in the head unit through only 6 connections.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
It's done with these 2 chips:

THine THCV219 (Video Transmitter) Video data convert 32bits TTL/CMOS input signals into V-by-One® HS signal. Transmits the video data from RK3188 via a high-speed serial connection to a matching receiver in the H/U THine THCV220.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Interesting, I wonder if the rest is just USB?

Edit : Searching on that chip led me to this .... http://club.qc188.com/thread-144424-1.html ... just reading it now.

Edit2 : Although tricky to read though google translate, this looks like the original box made by bonovo based on a rockchip dual core rk3066. The reviewer mentions the THine chips and how they are used to get the display from the box to the HU but also believes the touchscreen may also be using this. So the good thing to come out of this is that we know that these boxes so far have been upgraded from a dual core to quad core chip which would bode well for future upgrades.

Anyone know about Firmware Factory Tool 4.4 ??

Just found it in on of the baidu disk form the developers.

Allow to change

boot logo

bootanimation

kernel

Add or delete system apps

add or delete preinstalled apps

DPI

BUILDPROP

Wen can change all this things easy with this app, and after that flash it on normal way

Attach a screenshot

Here is the link to the file http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJNsp43
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I just downloaded and looked through it too. Will be good for minor tweaks of the factory images, but probably not much help on the full-on development side.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Yes sure. for fast and minor tweaks or to replace kernel only from a update file without compile all again.

Its Good to have

Can this tool be used instead of rkbatchtool to flash update.img? I need to completely re-flash my carpad2 but it shows up as "rockchip" with one drive, and "android ADB device" with another driver. I heard it's supposed to show up as "carpad2" in my device manager but I never get that and I can't flash with rkbatchtool. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Tried using a 32-bit Dell Latitude 2120 and a Lenovo 64-bit windows 8.1 computer.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
It only allow to edit the image files,

Try to install the driver with attached file, is a rockchip assistant to install or uninstall rockchip drivers

With device unpluged, uninstall driver with this app, and then install again, after that restart and plug

Also note, that in rkbatchtool. you have a SWITCH Button. it will switch device mode from batchtool to adb

I have problems on day and after click on that button all worked fine
[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:
You can assign the mode button on the swc to play/pause so when you start up just press play plus its handy when you end a call cause it pauses the music

3THinethcv219

Here to talk about THine, which is a Japanese company, Chinese name is called holy British electronic information from the official website: http: //www2.thine.co.jp/

The company is also the chip design company that produces electronic components, high-quality products is the signal transmission class of chips.

Avoid expertise aside (I have nothing to talk about expertise), thcv219 is a video signal transmission chip, designed to link the LCD screen, the company's main products are also similar chip. For example, there is such a small liquid crystal panel to display the copy-related information, you need to add such a chip on the copier, so that relevant information can be transmitted to the LCD screen. It is as if we have reached the TV image, and now the mainstream way to use HDMI same, because Rockchip RK3066 has built HDMI1.4 standard transmission function, so you can use HDMI AndroidBox spread to the image of this on TV. But it can only rely on car machine IEEE1394 this excuse, and this is because of the thcv219 interface to work, the image is transmitted to the car unit. I did not fully read the technical manuals thcv219, but I firmly believe that the instruction on the touch screen also receive back through this chip. So in theory, it is a signal transceiver.

How to update to latest version

Hi, newbie here.

I've been trying to update my unit to the current MCU version (AD3188_CarPad-II-P_KK4.4.2_1.1.3_1024x600_update).

I unzipped the file and downloaded into an SD Card (file after unzipped: "update.img") . When I try to open/execute the file in ES explorer the unit cannot recognize the file.

Can someone provide some instructions on how to update the unit?

Thanks a bunch!

LM
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Just move it onto your SD Card and wait a while. Depending on what version you are running, a pop up will show up on screen and ask you if you want to update. \

Clicking the file does nothing.

If you wait a while and that pop-up doesn't show up on your screen then you are running a very old version and must install when connected to a computer.

You can go into the settings of PowerAmp and manually "point" it to the External USB / Micro SD from within there. I'm not using the auto find, every directory is manually selected on mine.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
That's weird, I cannot do that it does not shown the usb storage in manual selection.

I tried formating the hdd to fat32 and no joy, also deleted partition and allowed the device to format.

I can also find the usb storage in es file explorer.

Which usb port are you using?
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
You quoted both my posts so I don't know if you are asking about PowerAmp or the upgrade to the OEM ROM?
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Sorry.? I'm asking about poweramp. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
I'm using the full size USB port - there should be only one(?)

I can see the USB drive in PowerAmp and ES File Explorer. Are you sure (not that I am trying to insult your intelligence) that you are digging through the settings correctly in PowerAmp for the Folder selection?
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Yeah for sure (no insult taken all help is greatly appreciated)

Been using poweramp for a long time.. When I open "music folders" I can see all drives/location except for the usb storage.

When looking at the usb storage in "android setting - storage" it gives a false disk size - 0.98gb when it's really 250gb

Would the be something wrong with the way it has been formatted?
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Either format is incorrect or damaged USB Drive would be my guesses.

Hi, as promised I give you the tutorial: I cut the illum. wire then I soldered a diode between the two ends then I connected a bridge between the Acc wire. and diode as in the shema (pay attention to the electric direction of the diode), now when I turn the ignition key LED HU illuminate continuously even if the night lights of the car are off and if I turn off the ignition key LEDs are off too;

Hi Usafle, My binary update/root/SuperSU issue is solved! I've updated to my 1.1.3 debloated rom from 1.1.2. That action removed root access.

So I needed KingoRoot to gain root acces again. I hooked it up to my computer and opened the Kingo app in Windows. Kingo said that there was an update available (version 3.xxx) and if I would like to update. I've updated it.

After I re-rooted with Kingo in Windows I knew SuperSU would started asking for update binary again since I have the same problem as you.

I thought... Well, I give it a shot and tried to update the binary. SuperSU even said that there was a other Superuser app installed and if I wanted to remove it. So I pressed yes.

Reboot and.... Everything works as it should be!

I think the new update solved the issues we had.

So I connected my radio with the supplied CAN cables and the CAN on my VW. I assigned keys to the steering wheel and it worked fined with the buttons on the left hand. When I try to assign keys to the right hand bottoms on the steering wheel it does not take them. The right hand keys applies changes just to the main computer of the car. Is anybody experiencing the same issues and is there a solution to this?

Install

Installed in a 2008 Silverado.

I bought mine via aliexpress through Sindy Liu at Newsmy. I ordered it and it got to me in about 7-10 days I think. I'm still on the 1.0.9 amplified ROM because it's working just fine for me. I installed this with a 1tb WD my passport drive, the BAFX obdII module, and that tiny kinobo mic.

I have llama set up on the unit to pause Poweramp on screen off and I have llama set up on my galaxy s4 to start the wifi hotspot when it connects to the unit's bluetooth. I used iSyncr to sync my itunes libary to the 1tb harddrive. So far it's been an aweseome product.

The only issues I've had are a flaky bluetooth connection with my phone. When a call comes in the headunit will ring but I can't answer through the headunit because it thinks my phone is not linked. I think it may be an issue with my phone because there is an option to connect to the phone audio and/or the media audio. My phone will say paired but the phone audio box will not be checked.

A huge thanks to you guys that are putting in development time for this.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
I just opened up Kingo to see if mine would update and, it did. But, my version # is 1.3.0 Not sure why you hae a version 3.xxx??? :(

I guess I will try and re-root the device using the "updated" Kingo App tonight and see if I can update SuperSU binary.

Thanks for the heads up!

Both of the mics on the Head Unit only work in the Bluetooth app. Are you saying the mic itself doesn't work?
[Android Head-Units] :
Both dead

Yea they are both dead in Bluetooth app
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
If you wanted the LEDs on all the time then yes connect the Acc feed from the car to both the Ignition and Illumin wires. However for that purpose I don't see any need to still have any connection from the cars illumination wire, just tape it up as its not needed. The only thing it would do at the moment is if the lights are on and the ignition is off then the unit would power itself as it would get a feed from the illumin wire .... is that what your were trying to do?

Thanks anyway as its given me an idea on how to potentially wire my car which doesn't have an ignition switch 1 position. To overcome this the oem radio had a 1 hour power mode which would work without the ignition being turned on. Unfortunately this HU doesn't work in the same way.
[Android Head-Units] byazici:
Hey ppl,

Trying to decide on buying this unit. Love what I read so far but, I have a question.

Currently using a head unit that has a CD player on it and I like listening to CD's every once in a while. So, I am thinking about adding this unit besides that and using them both for different things. I think I will used the CD unit AUX IN/out to connect to the NU3001 and will use one of the units to drive the speakers. However, one think I dont know how to do in a car has to do with the Power on. How should I wire the ILLUM, ACC etc. ? I just want both units to turn on and receive power (light up) when I turn the ignition to ACC. The same goes for Antenna connection and etc.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
your right hand buttons are probably only for the car and doesnt interact with the headunit. Like cruise control steering wheel buttons, they control the car and not the headunit etc.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Tried what you did. Re-Rooted the device after Kingo pulled down an update. No luck for me. Updated the SuperSU app from the play store. Got the same message about the binary needs to be updated. Binary update failed.

Although, this time, I did not lose ROOT as before when the binary update failed. So, the SuperSU app is updated to the current Play Store version but the SU Binary still refuses to update.

Hi guys,

Moving forwards...

I finally manage to get the driver working for the RKTool. :p Now I'm working on the easy interface while driving.

I also managed to disable the softkeys. It was easy to edit the build.prop, but I needed root access.

Antutu and Chainfire show me, it was rooted out of the box, but exactly it was not

full

rooted. I discovered this because couldn't enable 'Root Explorer' in ES File Explorer.

I used Kingo to help me out. After that I installed Rednis debloated Rom 1.1.3. Everything works fine, accept the radio buttons are not lineup anymore.

I have read something about it in the forum, can't find it anymore, but I lost the solution how to fix this.

Latest reply from Summer on the FB page:

"Stop/pause media after ignition off in all apps"

This one can delete on wiki, because it already solved on latest version, please advice.

Looks like there is progress. Still waiting on my unit so, I can't test it myself. If anyone wants to request MCU v33 from Summer, test it, and upload it with the rest of the MCUs, I can go ahead and remove this from the features list if someone can confirm that it is fixed.

The radio alignment problem is caused by HIDE SOFTKEYS. Need to edit the apk, and adjust the xml to move the buttons.

If you can tell me what icons you want apart of the included, i can prepare a pack with most used app icons, and upload the wiki so some one can personalize it
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
Aaahhh.. logical :)

But the strange thing is.. the are on the right place after manually editing the build.prop in 1.1.2

After I update to 1.1.3 the radio alignment was messed up.

That would be very nice!

I prefer to have the following icons:

Radio, Music, Phone, Contacts, Internet, Bluetooth, Wifi, Apps, TomTom, Sygic, File Explorer, Calculator, Torque, Rear Camera,

I can't cut the wire illum. because I want my LEDs light up when I turn on my night lights and this even if the car ignition is off.

However, you made a good point on the feed of the electric wire Acc I can solve this by replacing the bridge between the wire Acc and the wire Illum by a DIODE (DIODE electric direction of the Acc to Illum) in that way we will avoid feed

Hello my dear customers, I have get a special offer by my boss for the customers from XDA forum, can you delete the part of other seller of wiki?And let customers contact with us for a better offer?
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I'm torn on removing links to other sellers, even if they offer us a killer deal in exchange.

I think the biggest issue with people using other sellers is the cost of shipping and customs fees. If they can offer alternative shipping that is slower and cheaper, that may help as some may not care if it takes longer.

If the deal they are offering is worth it, it might be enough to justify removing the links but leaving a note that they do exist and to be careful. I may have to think about this more though...

Another note about my flickering screen, I haven't had a chance to contact Summer about it yet.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
I think we should first see what kind of a "deal" she is offering first. Maybe this is the first step towards some sort of 'working together'?

Find out what the "deal" is and then bring it up for discussion, I don't have any issue with that. It might seem like we are selling our souls by removing that information from the Wiki but, if it's a first step, then it must be taken....
