Hopefully I'll have one soon. I'll take some pics and get info posted when I do. I'm pretty certain there aren't any major changes other than what I speculated earlier (no separate android box, expanded flash). Hopefully they are breaking out some additional audio outputs.

Since they are using the same ROM/MCU code for both boxes I suspect that xdAuto will continue to work on them.

I wish they had a generic model with a bigger screen or had more details about the other vehicle specific units. I've got extra space on my dash so I'm sure one of the others would fit with some modification.

Ok thanks, I was not able to power it from a USB Adapter, so I bought a 12V Adapter and now it works!

A different question for people who have built it into their cars; The unit seems to be slightly bigger than standard 2-Din size. Did you modify the bezel or should it still work in the standard 2-Din bezels?

usb_modeswitch?

I recently installed my nu3001 (1.2.9 on MCU 47) but have been having some issues with my 3g dongle (Huawei E303 unlocked). I have a TMobile data plan and this is my first experience with TMobile.

The issue is that I can't seem to reliably connect to 3g. Sometimes it'll boot right into 3g and even reconnect after standby or a restart; however most of the time it won't get past full bars for 2g which is pretty useless. Sometimes I can get it to work by cycling between APNs, reconnecting the modem, and/or rebooting the unit. I haven't figured out what order to do these things in, so I just keep trying until it works.

My big question is this: Does this have anything to do with the "usb_modeswitch" stuff I keep seeing referenced?

I don't think it's signal related because I've made it through my entire commute on 3g with a fairly strong signal (once it hits 3g it usually sticks there). If it doesn't achieve 3g on it's own in 5 minutes, it doesn't seem to ever get there.

I don't think it's power related since it's ran through a powered usb hub. To test if it was power I also bought an adapter that combines two USB ports for power purposes (It won't let me post the link since I'm a new user but it's called "30cm USB 2.0 a Power Enhancer Y 1 Female to 2 Male Data Charge Cable Extension Cord" on amazon). Unfortunately this didn't help.

Anyway sorry if this has been answered. I tried searching the forum for modeswitch and usb_modeswitch but neither produce any results (even though I've seen it referenced a lot).

EDIT: So I'm pretty confident that usb_modeswitch won't help me. I'm going to look into a different modem, does anyone have any recommendations for a unlocked non-T-Mobile USB modem (preferably 4g)?

I've documented all the intents xdAuto adds, maybe I should document the intents in the default ROM as well.

No, this is the NU5002. The new versions seem to have NR at the beginning of the model number.

I have a NU3001 and it fits in an aftermarket double din dash kit just fine.

SOLVED- blew a fuse at some point in the installation

Just got the nu5002 fitted. Problem is it wont power on(?). I might be missing something, I've connected

nu5002 -> android box via firewire cable (nothing else is connected to android box)

nu 5002 -> car

all speakers

Batt+ (yellow wires)

Ground (black wires)

Illumination

Antenna (powered)

12V switched power (red wires)

also connected GPS & mic to nu5002.

I haven't seen any leds lit up on the android box. I've tried pressing & holding the power button on the android box. I've tried tapping the screen, long pressing, etc. I've rechecked the connections in the wiring harness (everything is wire nuts so it's easy to check for now). I've tried with the car running, and with the engine off. Any ideas? Thank you.

*edit- brought everything inside. plugged batt+ & red accessory to 12V+ from computer PSU, and black ground into ground on PSU. Still nothing):

**took it out to the car; put batt+ yellow & accessory red wire to positive battery terminal, and ground to ground- success. Have no idea what's throwing everything else off inside the car though. at least I know it powers on

My installation experience:

things went pretty smoothly. I don't think I'd do much differently. I recommend:

-Order your pigtail wire adapter, and double din install kit ahead of time

-Consider any optional accessories you might want to order ahead of time (mic, bt obd, screen protector, CAN stuff, SWC adapters, etc.)

-Do your wiring in a comfortable place, like indoors. I used wire nuts to easily check connections before soldering.

-When in doubt bench test your unit. Connect batt+ yellow & accessory+ red to positive battery terminal, and ground to negative battery terminal. (Do this with the firewire connecting the HU to android box) everything should power on. I tried using a PSU first and apparently did something wrong with that too.

Now I get to figure out all the software junk:)
[Android Head-Units] kravmangoon:
Use a multimeter and test the 12v, ground, and ignition wires. Also double check the FireWire cable (it was labeled to have the 90 degree end going to the head unit, although I'm not sure if that's important).

If your wires are showing 12v I'd maybe try the other wire harness you didn't use (Nissan or ISO).

If everything fails, try seeing if you can get the android box to boot with a mini USB and a USB wall charger.

Samson Go Mic Direct

Hi, just wanted to share that the Samson Go Mic Direct (can't post links, available on amazon) works well and is a mic only, so audio stays routed through stereo. I've added the mic and link to the wiki. Only issue for me was the overall size and so I took the hardware out of its enclosure.

I took the mic case apart and cut/soldered longer wires to the 2 microphones. For the additional wire, I used a spare USB wire with 4 conductors, and just routed the microphones to the car's factory microphone location.

In the process the microphones fell off from handling; and out of laziness/frustration I ended up splicing the microphone from another USB mic that wouldn't work (Tonor USB Tie Clip Mic on Amazon). I like the two products combined, but can't tell if it's more or less sensitive with Samson's USB hardware combined with Tonor's Mic. The big advantage is that the small enclosed Tonor microphone is way less likely to fall apart from handling.

Really unfortunate the whole Tonor USB Tie Clip mic wouldn't work; it was really clear and sensitive when hooked up to my PC and seems like it would be ideal for mounting/hiding in a vehicle.

Either way, I'm pretty happy with what I set up but I need to speak a bit louder than normal for it to understand me.

Interesting that they are still saying on the NR3001 page:

OS: Single built-in Android 4.4 (Support updating to Android 5.0).

Unless they've changed away from the RK3188 chip (unlikely) then I wouldn't hold much hope of ever seeing anything other than Kitkat on this device.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
We are pretty sure the NR series (CarPad III) is the same hardware, MCU, and ROM ans the NU series (CarPad II) but we will not know until someone buys one and tries it.

Indeed, if they did use a different chip then the custom ROMs we have would not be compatible. Guess someone may need to buy one and find out.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Thank you for suggesting this app. While it was NOT able to force the portrait rotation, it did allow me to override the DPI setting of the app I have having trouble with so that it was "zoomed out" sufficiently that all the elements fit on the screen. A DPI of 170 was the magic number.

It would appear the NU3001 is resistant to all rotation apps. I must have tried at least 10.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
The exact same ROM and MCU code are used for both types of devices, so it is definitely the same chipset.

When I receive one I'll post more info.
[Android Head-Units] fogimup:
Just came across this article. In step 2 it shows how to change the DPI but just before it is the rotation value. Looks fiddly but worth a try in changing the rotation from 0 to 1 via ADB and seeing how it goes.

Could also try xposed+gravity box-enable all rotation

As always, apologies if this has already been covered :)

I have the VW specific NU5261 and have a question regarding the door notifications.

I actually like the door notifications so don't want to get rid of them but since upgrading to xdauto the door notifications are switched i.e. drivers door open show passenger door icon!

I wondered if this is because I'm in the UK and drive on the left (correct) :) side of the road?

Was this changed in xdauto to make it correct for the USA or is there a setting somewhere I can change to make the popup message right again?
[Android Head-Units] kravmangoon:
Tested it out but the settings don't seem to stick/work for MCU 47 or 48. Seems to default to an hour or two regardless which setting I pick.

Also, when you reopen update settings after a reboot or shutdown, it has the top radio button selected (I think it's "no standby" or something like that). I will test it later and see if the setting actually reset and it has no standby, or if it still does 1-2 hours.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I don't believe anyone who contributes to xdAuto actually has a vehicle with something other than the NU3001 or NU5002 so nobody has done any testing with the canbus. This was probably something that was actually fixed by Newsmy since the source code leak.

When I get a chance (very busy lately) I will take a look at the code, having a copy of your logcat would probably be useful also. Might need to do further debugging.

What would be the best music app for this?

Poweramp and the like seem to have very small text and buttons on the skin.

Any recommendations
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Well, that's not true. Poweramp is probably the best option. It 'behaves' very well on this device. It has it's own music EQ which preforms better than Viper4Android, it ducks its audio whenever another application needs audio priority (call, navigation, etc.), works perfectly with system wide SWC and there's really no need for buttons because of swipe controls.

Tiny controls all depend on the DPI the system is working on. All buttons on just about every app are tiny if the DPI set too high. You can however, override the system wide DPI and adjust this per app using App Settings, an Xposed Module. This way you can make Poweramp's text apprear as large as you want.

[Android Head-Units] MrTSolar:
Hello, all.

I've been thinking of buying the NU3001, and so far in my research, I have been impressed. I do still have a few questions.

1. Is there a way to prevent the Android Box from sleeping with the stock ROM? When the HU shuts down the AB, does it simply cut off power or does it send a proper shutdown command to Android first?

2. Does the AV input switch automatically when a signal comes in? I was thinking of hooking up a PlayStation 2 and am wondering how it would handle the input (I drive an EV, so sometimes this would help pass some time while at charging stations, but doesn't happen all too often, though).

3. To go along with #1, if I power the AB through the DC in jack, will that keep the AB in sleep mode instead of shutting down while the car is off?

Thanks for your help. This has to be one of the biggest threads I've attempted to read through.

[Android Head-Units] kravmangoon:
Yes, it's an option in the MCU app. I think it's called "Set the standby" or something like that. I read that earlier versions of the software/MCU allowed you to pick the standby time, however this wasn't an option in the versions I tested: 1.2.9 and 1.3.0 Stock Rom; v47 and v48 MCU.

In these more recent versions of stock, I believe the standby is hardcoded for 2 hours but I may be wrong on that. Zeroprobe modified the MCU app to make the standby options visible but the settings don't seem to stick.

Honestly didn't spent too much time using the AVIN app on the stock rom. There may be a way to do it automatically with xDAuto but I haven't played with it long enough.

One possible way to make it automatic would be to use the backup camera video in and put a relay between the Playstation and the reverse input on the stereo. That way when the Playstation goes on it tells the stereo that the backup camera is running. No idea what you'd do about sound.

Not 100% but probably. The ignition wire tells the stereo when the car's off, so it should still tell the android box to sleep even if it's powered externally.

It looks like they are handling NR prices like they did with the NU series, jack them up then cut the price 50% and say they are on sale. I have seen the NR3001 around $360.

Also, I changed the wiki a little. I changed the "Custom Interfaces" section to just "Interfaces" and moved "Custom Interfaces" under it. This is so we can list apps that attempt to make using Android as a car stereo a bit better.

I 'm seeing a bunch of new NR series models popping up on the Newsmy AliExpress store. (NR3001, NR5002, NR5161, NR5210, NR7002, NR7006, NR7007)

What does everyone think about renaming the wiki from "Newsmy CarPad NU3001" to "Newsmy CarPad 2/3" and adding the NR series info? Another option is to rename the current wiki page to just "Newsmy CarPad 2" and create a "Newsmy CarPad 3" page.
