Whatever suits best mate.

Just so you know a transistor costs about $2 and this way you will never have to worry about turning it on or off or if you forgot to turn it off.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I will have to try these, thanks

My OBDII scanner also runs while the car is off, but it doesn't cause any battery problems.

However, I would like to either buy one that does shut off or modify this one to shut off someday.

Thanks, I'll try some of ElfinJNoty's suggestions.

Supposedly, this OBDII scanner shuts off with your car. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H9S71LW/ and it's compatible with Torque.

But it's a bit expensive.
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
thank you very much !!!

you're the best
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
That's really cool mate. How does the wiring schematic look like? Where is the voltage for the third pin coming from? Acc.? You're an inspiration as I think I'll do this too.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
This is a really simple install. The transistor is a MJE3055T NPN. A Google search will provide a pdf. Found heaps for sale on amazon. Basically it is designed to allow up to 70v with an In-rush current of 10amps and constant current of 3amps. This should be more than enough amps for any device. Make sure you select a NPN transistor as this means a positive voltage will activate, i connected this to a acc / ignition feed.

I have attached a screenshot of the pdf front page. You can see the pinout. Pin 1 the base allways connect to your acc/ignition feed. Pin 2 the collector is the positive side of the wire which you will cut/install on. Pin 3 the emitter will be the remaining negative wire going to your odb plug.

Now to work out which wires to install on. I have attached a photo of a odb plug pinout. Please note this will change depending on the vehicle. 4-chasis and 16-12v seems to be standard.

On my it was pin 15 and 16 was causing the unit to have leds on and pairable. 16 was allowing the scanner to pair and 15 acitvated the power led for some reason.

To be sure i used a multimeter to check first. Black lead to pin 4 and then checked all the rest. Any pins i had voltage on i documented.

I then applied 12v to the same corresponding pins on the scanner to make sure which wires where activating it.

Thats it. Sounds like alot of work but really its not.

Also i bought the Vgate icar 3 scanner which claims to have an auto sleep but i was still able to find and pair to it after 2hrs of the igition being off. I cant risk this as i work away from home for a month. It should be noted that all car batteries are not designed for this kind of use. They are cranking batteries fast discharge and recharge in order to start your car. All this low current draw will definitely shorten the life of your battery.

Hi Kommando and others,

I bought the ZTE MF730M 3G modem, and it doesn't seem to work. (at least with my setup) I'm running xdAuto(1.1.6c). I reset the APNs to default. I plugged in the modem, and it just gave me the message 'No Internet Connection'. It would also periodically give me a message that I had an Ethernet connection(replacing the message "No Internet Connection" with "Ethernet Connection"), and then that message would go away for a while (and then reappear 30 seconds or so later . . . )

Does anyone know what the problem might be.? Is there some configuration I should be doing for the modem?

Has anyone been able to get a 3G modem to work with xdAuto?(not to say that xdAuto is the problem - just trying to eliminate variables) If so, what modem did you use? Are there any other modems proven to work straight out of the box?(with xdAuto or another ROM) Or, is there some configuration I should be doing? (by the way, I'm using AT&T in the States)

Thanks a bunch for all your help!

Hi, how can i get this option ? I have mcu version 41 running .

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
a question, you could assign default buttons marked in command, pass folders forward and backward ??

if not very complicated, I might say how to do it ??
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Once we release a new build, it'll be in there. You are more than welcome to sync the Github repo and build for yourself if you can't wait.

How is this device connecting? If you are using the IR sensor of the NU3001, then Key editor will be your choice. If you are trying to do this with a USB IR Receiver, then you are probably out of luck. The receiver will register as a HID and send whatever keycodes it's designed to do. Some will work with Android, some won't
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
At the moment you'd need to build the latest source code from the XDAuto Github tree.

It will be in the next released build.
[Android Head-Units] jorge070nl:
Thanks for answering. How long do you expect to make the new build?

And is there somewhere a wiki how to build one myself??? I am a noob :)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
At the moment, builds are generally made when [MENTION=2190016]Zaphod-Beeblebrox[/MENTION] feels like it's time for one :D

Our builds aren't documented in a wiki or such. It's not super difficult but it does require Linux experience and a lot of time and patience.

It's probably a bit above noob level ;)
[Android Head-Units] jorge070nl:
Haha i am sure i have to wait for mr. [MENTION=2190016]Zaphod-Beeblebrox[/MENTION].

I have so much patience..... Not haha

Newsmy are really teasing the new units now, the hardware might change a little but it looks like it's going to share a lot in common with our current units. Probably close enough to run the same software even.

I still believe the units we've got are going to be good to us for a long time. Having the code makes our current boxes a good long term investment.
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
Sorry but I cannot help, I just plugged it into the USB port and it just worked with no input from me. Just had the same bother with a Logitech C270, could only get it working as a mic until I did a reboot with it plugged in and then the video appeared.
[Android Head-Units] db2boy:
This appears to have done the trick! :) Thank you so much for the suggestion.

I tried just XInternalSD module first yet I still had Google Music downloading to the internal storage, adding SD Card Full Access addressed this after closing and clearing Google Music. This seems strange

as I was under the impression XInternalSD should achieve what SD Card Full Access does. All I can think is I didn't force stop Google Music and clear before trying only XInternalSD alone. With 3GB

of playlists synced now I don't want to clear and try again :)

For others interested this was very simple. Download Xposed, install, reboot. Download and activate the modules XInternalSD and SD Card Full Access (you might want to try only XInternalSD alone first).

Set the path in XInternalSD to your SD/USB device (i.e. /mnt/external_sd), force stop Google Play Music, clear cache/data, re-sync your music/playlists. You can use ES File Explorer or similar to check

the data is being synced to your external storage device.
[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
Okay. Thanks. Did you happen to have the modem set to 'modem only' when you tried it? I was thinking about trying that next.(changing the AT command)

Does anyone else have suggestions, by chance?

Thanks!

[Android Head-Units] moti_r:
Hey guys,

Is anyone, by any chance, using his unit with an external USB DAC?

How do you control your subwoofer, if you have one?

Anyone tried to connect a 5.1 chn USB DAC?

This is the only issue I have with this unit... only 2 RCA outs :(

Anyone?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I think there will be a new release out in the next few days. There have been enough changes to make it worthwhile and I'm almost finished with one more feature.

The directions to build your own image are here: https://github.com/Nu3001/platform_manifest
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
The only problem with using a DAC is it will only work with Android. this means you will loose the radio and bluetooth audio streaming and phone.

I just use an RCA splitter to my amps.

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

Nice, I will have to try this myself. thanks for figuring this out.
[Android Head-Units] moti_r:
Oh! Didn't realize that!

Thanks for the info :good:

Then I guess the DAC option is off the table.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I'd agree with all of the above.

Based on the images I suspect this unit won't have a separate android box. Which likely will take care of the biggest disadvantages I see in the current hardware. Audio and video inputs not accessible via the android box.

Even if the few shortcomings are fixed in the hardware, if we don't have access to the source code then I wouldn't even consider using this new model.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Having the android box integrated into the unit will not necessarily change how the inputs work. The other Android head units I've worked with (namely the AN21-U) Utilize a similar process to ours. The only difference is that the android board is a daughter board to the MCU. They still use the same MCU control scheme. Radio, Aux In, etc are separate streams on the MCU that are controllable via Android, but not accessible. None of these units, to my knowledge, digitize that input and process it via Android.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Well it could change them. You don't need the THine chips to transport video from the android box and you aren't limited to 6 pins of info between the two devices. You're probably right though and not much will be different.

Though I am quite surprised that getting RDS working hasn't been a larger priority for them.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Think they are more concerned about getting hardware out vs developing the software further then where they are. Its been 6 months since installing my unit and the factory images haven't improved much. Minor tweaks and visual changes but nothing drastic. Maybe it's just me tho
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes. But let's remember who we are dealing with here. Their strength is in producing cheap hardware, not beautiful and well engineered UI's. That part's going to be left up to us. We are gaining ground all the time. The more people that join in, the further we'll get.
[Android Head-Units] jorge070nl:
NIce!! i have installed my nu3001 unit today.. very happy with it.

In the orginal firmware is a bug with swc from Alfa Romeo. XDAuto fixed this. :):):)
[Android Head-Units] jpsandiego:
Lost audio

Hi guys,

I was driving home today while listening to music when all of the sudden the audio completely cut out. No audio from the android or mcu functions. Has anybody else had this? This is killing me. I am running straight to speakers with no amplifiers or anything. If something has blown, would it be worth it to connect a 4 channel amp to see if that still works?

Update: went back out to my car after letting it sit for an hour and now the audio works again. Does anyone know if there is some kind of thermal rollback or something? This was very bizarre. I had hardbooted the unit 3 times after the initial issue to no avail, but it seems letting it sit solved the issue. Maybe I will go get that amp to reduce the load on the mcu. Does this make sense?
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Any way to change the size of the nav buttons so more than 7 fit without being half off of the screen?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I'd guess that something switched the audio channel or the mux in the head unit. What was your music source? Did you have bluetooth connected from phone to hu and/or android box?

When the android box boots up it sends the serial command to default the audio channel and mux. How did you hard boot the device?
[Android Head-Units] jpsandiego:
Thank you for the reply. I was playing the music straight from a usb thumbdrive using poweramp player. My phone is connected to mcu bluetooth, but i have the bluetooth music option on as well even though i was not streaming from my phone. As for the hardboot, i may be using incorrect terminology for that, i used the reboot menu supplied with the xdauto rom to reboot the device since the power button only seems to put it to sleep.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
It's likely this was related. Even when you aren't using it the music is still connected.

Personally I always turn the Bluetooth Music option off unless I need it, otherwise any slight sound from your phone can interrupt the headunit's normal output.

This is something i intend to change at some point, because it does cause all sorts of strange issues like this.
[Android Head-Units] jpsandiego:
Thank you, you are the best!
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Not yet. Not without modifying the source and building your own ROM. It's a pretty easy change to make in the dimens.xml

However, I'ts on my shortlist to change how that works. I've been thinking I'll just remove the widths of the buttons and allow them to just equally space in the window. This way smaller numbers of buttons will spread out better, and larger numbers will just keep squeezing in.
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
It is a USB IR receiver for nu5002.

but that was changing key assignment volume ...

I wanted to do the same, because now work volume, play / pause, forward and back, just missing me through folders

Hi all

I'm planning to buy the NU5002S HU for my Hyundai i20.

I've got a few questions and not enough time to read the whole thread so I'm hoping you can answer a few of my questions please :)

Is the problem with the audio going to a connected usb microphone still there?

I read the wiki - I'm asking because the person in this youtube video ?v=OrQL8rYHmMY uses the NU3001 HU with a microphone that was reported to be incompatible before.

Also, I'd like to use the same webcam (Genius WideCam F100) and the Samson Go Mic which was talked about before.

Will these two products work with the NU5002S without blocking the HU's sound output? Otherwise, can you recommend a working mic to me?

I think I read that the USB OBD II adapters act as a serial interface and therefore work with apps like Torque? Is there some information about the power drain of USB OBD adapters?

Thanks in advance!

(I'm sorry for not posting links of the mentioned products - this is my first post and I can't post external links yet...)
[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
This is my biggest pet peeve about this unit... That it not only gets interrupted, but it makes a feedback noise that sounds terrible if your sound is turned up... Is this easy to fix?
[Android Head-Units] jpsandiego:
Turning off bt music option solved my interruption issues per leonkernan's advice. I had noise when i first installed, but that was due to running my rca cables to my vhf radio too close to the power lines. After rerouting, it sounds great even at high levels. What type of feedback are you hearing? Alternator whine or distortion or???
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I've never noticed any feedback noise or other odd sounds. Interference from something?
[Android Head-Units] jorge070nl:
two little issues

Hi guys,

i found two little problems with the xdauto rom

1 - when updating the google play services the icon with the G turns into Google.. so it doenst fit anymore like it should.

2 - when using app that asks for some more energie a icon shows up with a plug. It happens wheb using the dutch app Flitsmeister. this is app is for getting a a alert for speeding camera's, so its important haha.

I add a printscreen with both circled in red. I hope that you guys can do something with this information.

[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
What I mean to say is that if I have Bluetooth phone and music turned on in my Note 4, everytime I switch apps or hit the phone icon on the phone it makes this crackling sound and then ducks the audio on the unit before it resumes again... Does that make sense? I had the unit installed at an audio shop so I dont know what to have them check for to fix it... I just don't want to hear that crackle anymore
[Android Head-Units] deeznutz1977:

[Android Head-Units] ibnabatoot:
hey,

could you expand on the swc bit a little.

got a brera with xdauto 1.16 installed, and the swc controls (using the connects2 adapter) is a little funny with anything other than the volume buttons.

thanks
[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
I already have and it makes a cracking sound when I do something on the phone... I want to be able to silently switch between phone and music or other apps within the note 4 and not have to cringe every time.. Here is a screenshot of what sounds I have turned off
[Android Head-Units] jorge070nl:
I also used connects2 adapter. Before xdauto the unit can't recognize the difference between volume up and down. In the key app I linked a button to a function all with different numbers showing up. But the volume buttons where or both volume up or both volume down . With xdauto it works like it should .
[Android Head-Units] ibnabatoot:
i see. volume is fine on mine also, with xdauto.

however, try with mute for example. i have it set to the centre button on the left swc (inbetween the volume buttons) but once thats set, the phone button also becomes mute.

ive set the phone button to answer/hang up on bt calls, but even still it simply mutes audio. is yours showing that too?

the right hand side buttons are a mess. no matter what i set them to, all the right side buttons end up doing that same task.

while ive got you here, how did you mount the headunit. im guessing you have a 159 or brera, cant think of another alfa with double din.

on mine, i fitted the cage, but because of the small tabs on the headunit, it sort of 'sits' there not going in fully. its fine like that, but was wondering if you did it another way. also because the face of the HU is larger than regular double din units, the fascia on mine sits on top of the HU rather than surrounding it. had to cut away a little of the fascia for it to fit.
[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
Hi All,

Does anyone else happen to have any advice on this? Looking through the forum, it seems that it's very hit or miss. Some people seem to have luck with modems that didn't work for others, and vice versa. I've been trying to send an AT command to make configure to 'modem only' mode, but I'm having trouble getting HyperTerminal to see the modem. (and besides, lots of people seem to be saying that 'modem only' mode didn't work for them . . .)

Does anyone have any advice on this? Is there a modem out there that has worked consistently for everyone? If not, does anyone know of a mobile hotspot that can be configured to auto-start when power is provided to it? (so that it doesn't have to be manually turned on each time I start the car)

FYI, I would just use my phone as a hotspot, but it's a work account, and it'd be a nightmare to clear that. (and I'd likely lose my grandfathered unlimited data...) Also, apparently, nobody has figured out yet how to root an AT&T Samsung S5 with Lollipop(not TWRP or TowelRoot, etc).

Any advice on this would be super helpful.

Thanks guys!

AV Switcher added to xdAuto

I just committed some AV Switcher code to xdAuto. This is just in the github repository, not in an image yet.

This will let people switch to "Aux In" without changing the video source. I suspect we will have to write an app to make it easier to switch the modes, but I was only worried about the backend side at this time.

I wrote some developers notes here, and I've also included them below.

Developer notes

New intents added:

android.intent.action.BONOVO_SET_VIDEO_CHANNEL

android.intent.action.BONOVO_SET_AUDIO_CHANNEL

Each intent takes an extra data int named 'channel' that specifies the channel number to switch to.

These are set independantly, so you can switch to 'Aux In' audio without having the 'Aux In' video

displayed.

Audio channels:

0: Android source

1: Bluetooth Music source

2: Aux In

3: Radio

6: Bluetooth Telephone

Video Channels:

0: Android source

1: Aux In

2: Aux In 2

3: Back Video In

Advanced option:

The android.intent.action.BONOVO_SET_VIDEO_CHANNEL intent also takes an extra boolean

variable named 'videoswitcher' which defaults to true. By default an app is run that will

catch any back button, home button, or screen touches and revert back to the android display.

Set 'videoswitcher' to false and this app is not run so you must have something switch the mode back.

The idea for having the ability to disable the videoswitcher app was to allow something like Tasker to

switch the video to 'Back Video In' when the Reverse intent is sent. Then Tasker can revert the video

to the Android source when the Reverse intent is sent again.

Be careful when using this without the videoswitcher app. You might get stuck and have to reboot to

return to the default Android source.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
You mean the pop when the Bluetooth activates or deactivates?

If so yes, there are ways around it. Not easy to fix at the moment but possible.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Got a Logitech C270! Yay! Plugged it into my computer. Wow the video sucks on this thing. :) Oh well, I just want all the time "OK Google."

Quick question on an unrelated matter. When I'm streaming music to the HU via the Bluetooth Bonovo app, I'm assuming the android side of things doesn't see it and therefore Viper doesn't work. Right? Is there a way to bluetooth stream the music to android exactly how it is through the Bonovo app? It's preferable to use my phone for music as I have unlimited data and TMobile doesn't count music against your mobile data. I do, however, only have 5GB of hotspot and don't want to burn it up... Thanks
[Android Head-Units] jorge070nl:
My Alfa is a GT. I cut the little strips of the hu with a multitool. so now is as far in the dash as possible. and the i have a fascia with three parts., a steel frame, a 2 din cover and a bezel that covers the HU.

Al my steering controls a working like they should..

I wil post a img later today
[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
That's exactly what I mean... Sorry I didn't know quite how to describe it. What is a good workaround to this, do you know?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
No workaround in the current versions.

There is a message sent by the Bluetooth unit to tell us to turn off the speaker and when to turn it back on. So far it's unused, but it will get activated at some stage.

I can confirm that does stop the pop sound all together.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Just making a note for anyone interested.

The RX/TX pins are a 3.3v TTL serial connection running at 115200.
