Well, the thread is kinda long, I have been picking through it over the last few hours but I have a ways to go. I emailed Summer. Is there another way to get the "actual" price? She hasn't responded yet.
[Android Head-Units] ChrisK-WA:
Usually its just a few days. Make sure you mention to Summer that you are a member of XDA developers, I believe she was offering that as well. I ordered mine from Anna before I read about Summer and the discount.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Is there any way to get the long press volume up/down to work with PBMC and the SWC? I can't seem to get it to work. I have been asking Summer to fix this for a while now with no luck. Every new MCU that I install, I still see the same issues not being addressed.

My biggest beef with SWC and the MCU is that when I map volume up/down and mute, when I increase the volume to about 20, mute automatically kicks in and then volume stops working for a little bit. Played around with setting the accurracy in the KeyEditor app, but only helps for a few minutes and back to the same sh*t again. No permanent fix. Even when I temporarily get it to work, once I get volume past 20, it barely responses when I try to increase/decrease the volume.

I honestly don't see any value in all the new MCU versions being released when I don't notice any difference. Even nav apps like iGO and Sygic act funcky when using SWC to switch songs, but that's another beef I won't get in to.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
I'll mess with it. Haven't had a lot of luck with this thing to be honest. It gets bogged down like crazy and I can't figure out what's causing it. I did a clean flash and even flashed the stock FW with rktool and still it seems like it's just not a powerful device. I don't know what's up with it!

I have brought it in the house each day, hooked up to my monitor, and tried so many combinations and settings and I just don't get it. Starting to think that maybe mine is faulty? No idea :confused:

EDIT: Does copiolot work 100% offline as well? I bought Sygic and have all of the maps downloaded...
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I keep seeing you say this device is sluggish, have you ran the AnTuTu Benchmark that comes with it? I'm curious to hear your numbers. This device is twice as fast as the tablet I use daily, my tablet is definitely sluggish but I'm able to deal with it until I eventually upgrade that.

Are you installing something that tries to save battery life by throttling the CPU back?
[Android Head-Units] Grims:
Anyone have any opinions on their 8" model? Looks like it should fit in my F150s 9x5 opening
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Nothing to throttle the CPU is installed, ran a Benchmark and took some pics for you.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
That's right around what mine benchmarks at. Do you have a 1GB or 2GB model? I've only ever used a 2GB so I really don't know if that would affect anything.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
2gb model here, I was using poweramp before and I noticed in XDAuto latest the music nav button no longer picks up poweramp. I switched to shuttle and that is just a cluster**** lol. Apollo seems okay but I'm not not a fan of it to be honest. I'm trying copilot for nav and still looking for a good music player at the moment. I need to find a good setup for this thing too. Haven't seen many people post their setups but always interested to see that.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I don't believe that poweramp ever worked with the music button, there is a helper for that.

The only things I ever really use on mine are DSub to listen to music and Waze for navigation. On road trips I've had Plex acting as a server to other Plex clients in the car (RasPlex hooked to composite monitors and various tablets).

If the Plex music support (and syncing of playlists) ever gets better I'd probably use that for Music too, but that will probably be a while before it gets to that point.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Just grabbed the helper, didn't even know about that. Thanks! I will set up poweramp again and see how it performs. I still think Viper might be causing some of the CPU lag. I did manually install the high quality driver and it seemed to have helped.

I might try another launcher that is more "car friendly" but we'll see.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Just say. I'm just not impressed at all with newsmy and their support. I'm still left hanging in regards to my issues with this new box. Now they want me to send this box back in order to get another one as they don't know what's wrong. I personally thing it's a compatibility issue. However they won't comment on anything. I can't afford sending the boxes back and forth (in getting nailed customs anytime I get packages that are dhl or any company like them). So buyer beware.... If there is ever a problem with your Android box... Getting a replacement at the $100+ won't guarantee a 100% fix.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
Since we have sources and git hub setup. How hard would it be to setup OTA updates xdauto?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I get the frustration and it is definitely warranted. It's difficult to get support on something like this when there is a language barrier and likely a very small (non-existant?) support department.

I really can't see how there could be a compatibility issue though. All of the keypresses come across the cable on the serial interface that a lot of other stuff uses. If the GPS or touchscreen works, changing audio/video inputs, etc. then this should work.

Are you able to hook up a laptop and run adb on it while it is connected? In the logcat there should be lines like the following when a key is pressed, regardless of if it is mapped to something.

D/WindowManager( 452): interceptKeyTq keycode=88 screenIsOn=true keyguardActive=false policyFlags=2000000 isWakeKey=false
D/WindowManager( 452): interceptKeyTq keycode=88 screenIsOn=true keyguardActive=false policyFlags=2000000 isWakeKey=false
D/WindowManager( 452): interceptKeyTi keyCode=88 down=true repeatCount=0 keyguardOn=false mHomePressed=false canceled=false
D/WindowManager( 452): interceptKeyTi keyCode=88 down=false repeatCount=0 keyguardOn=false mHomePressed=false canceled=false

We would have to run a separate server to do that, though there is a free service that does this that we could use. We would just have to have their updater app installed. I've been planning on setting this up and testing it out but I just haven't had a chance yet.

The rk stuff has a way to check a host for updates but that all happens with IMG files instead of zip files which is the proper way to do OTA.

Edit: the site I was talking about is https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
When I get a spare moment I'll see if I can or not. Not overly familiar with adb so will likely have to dig around with it. Any idea if it works with Windows 10 lol.

One thing that I do notice is the GPS can be laggy and take a while to detect signal. Sometimes I have to reboot the box on order for sygic to get a GPS signal. Other times it works fine. Its almost like when the ignition is turned off is when I see this the most.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I would certainly hope so but you never know. I'm personally not a windows user. For a more complicated setup you could install a ssh server on the android box and ssh in, but adb would be the optimal way since you can do a whole lot with it.
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
She didn't offer me a discount when I mentioned XDA. Bought my unit 2 weeks ago
[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
You need to install the PowerAmp Helper to work with the button.
[Android Head-Units] isthisadagger:
Yes. You download the maps. You only need to be online for the live traffic to work.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
That would be cool to implement.

Ok i grabbed the MCU update v26 from someone's Google Drive share on here. I'm hoping that's right?

How does one go about updating the MCU?
[Android Head-Units] toologic:
Universal (real) NU3001. QC mark on andriod box have date 01-09-2014. andriod os build version 1.0.7 mcu - v17 (some old) but i update without problems on last mcu+rom version
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Hi all, i have been watching this thread from the start GREAT WORK!!! to all those involed. I am very excited, i have just bought the 8" unit direct from newsmy (summer)

I will upload pics when it arrives (currently out of stock on this unit) so eta unknown.

I am really confused about the 25w to each speaker, Newsmy clearly states that is 50w amp and summer has also confirmed, but i know you all are not stupid so i am guessing that the 50w amp is split for front and rear giving the 25w to each speaker???

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...0-resolution-super-HD/1240857_2039206890.html

Out Power: 4X50W
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Unzip the archive. Put the two files on the root of an SD card. Insert the card. Run the MCU app and click the update button.

I'll investigate the possibility of integrating the MCU update with my first compiled release of Amplified.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Looks like Newsmy posted a video for the VW version:

Also looks like I finally found the 8" version on AliExpress.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/News...r-Tiggo-Android-only-without/32234212876.html

I'm a little bit concerned about that 8" listing as it mentions being a hybrid WinCE and Android device. However, Summer advised me it was the same as NU3001 just larger screen.

Still waiting on shipping confirmation on mine.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
That is not the right unit, 8" is found here http://car.newsmy.com/index.php?controller=site&action=products&id=34

Anyone care to comment on the Amplifier? Is it 4x50w or 4x25w?

I apologize that seems to be the correct unit in the above link.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
It has a TDA7851A/F audio chip in it.

This is the information of the datasheet:

– 4x45W/4Ω

– 4x28W/4Ω@14.4V,1kHz,10%

– 4x72W/2Ω

These rates are continuously speaker outputs. (RMS)
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Perfect, that makes sense now.

Thank you Renedis
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I think they are the same unit (I think in one photo, the mount tabs were simply cropped out). Having chased numerous Android radios at AliExpress and Ebay, there is no doubt that the listings are often faulty (possibly due to language barriers, possibly due to cut-n-paste from other ads, etc).

I notice in the manufacturer page for the 8" screenshots, that many of them were done on a pre- 4.4 ROM. Notice the difference in Nav-bar/status-bar in a couple of shots.

So, My hope is that the 8" is just a slightly larger version of the NU3001 with no hardware or capacitive buttons. But until I actually have it in my hands, I won't be certain.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Me also.... paid for this unit 4 days ago directly through newsmy (not aliexpress as the unit was not on there at the time) Summer also insured me that the hardware was identical to nu3001 apart from the 8" screen and an extra 1gb of ram.

So fingers crossed
[Android Head-Units] ilcazzo:
Hi guys, can someone provide a photos of mounting this HU to dashboard? I've a real headache while try to fit it to MB-ML (w163). Also have tried universal 2din mounting kit (like this one www ozautoelectrics com/universal-d-din-mounting-kit.html ), but not positive results, I'm very sad...
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
I had a long and kind of excruciating conversation with Summer on Friday night about the 8" model (I was trying to confirm how to connect the CAN bus decoder in the 7") and she told me they are identical and run the same firmware. EXCEPT that the 8" has 2GB and built-in CAN bus capability and the 7" does not (I know this isn't true).

Hello, I am planning to buy this: aliexpress[.]com/item/Newsmy-android-4-4-quad-core-car-gps-navigation-8-inch-for-univeral-dual-system-carpad/2034998210.html Newsmy android 4.4 quad core headrests 8 inch for univeral dual system carpad (without DVD, bluetooth,DT2001S-H-H ) as I want them to have real buttons and I do not have a SWC.

The only problem is the fixes that was made before might be existing with this unit.

This is the same as NU3001 but differ in:

Have 2G Ram

WinCE + Android

Have buttons and rotate volume control

Bigger since it is 7 inch display with frame

Or I'll just buy the NU3001 or the new 8 inches display?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
In my experience, not having SWC like you, having buttons is very important. If my car would fit the 7 inch version with buttons I would buy that. operating this thing without buttons while driving is no easy task. Luckily I have the NU3001, but a few more media buttons would help greatly, instead i'm always searching for media remote for the HU.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Understand the frankenstein unit with WinCE is NOTHING like our unit and nothing we say here will have any bearing... Please see the first forum post regarding that.

Personally I won't recommend anything but the NU3001 due to how much we already know about it, as well as the infinite customization we will be able to implement. It still remains to be seen if the android only 8" version will be compatible but regardless, it has NO physical controls whatsoever, so I still personally recommend the NU3001. .

Is there a way to amplify the bluetooth microphone? Because we always have to yell to people so that they can understand us while driving. Or should i buy an other mircophone? Can an usb micro also work with the bluetooth?
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
BT Microphone? You aren't using the "hard-wired" one that plugs into the back of the display for your phone calls? Mine came with a wired Microphone that I installed right above my sun visor - havent' had any issue with people hearing me, even with the windows down.
[Android Head-Units] gohigher123:
Yes indeed the bluetooth microphone. I'm using the one that came with the unit. The quality is very bad. It's hanging on my mirror.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Must be a different unit? Mine came with an actual wired microphone that plugged into the back of the screen. I wonder if you even have an input for a wired microphone like I do? The wired would probably sound a lot better then a wireless one.

Yes i do have the same unit and microphone that you have. It's not wireless. It also plugs in on the back of the unit.

[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Which ROM do you use? I personally haven't had any issues using the SWC and volume adjusting. Nor any glitches in Nav software when switching songs.

I use PMBC 2.10, as any version higher is not working properly (for me).

However, in version 3.10 you can assign

another

key to the SWC Volume. The KeyEditor probably uses the MCU 'Bonovo Volume Add/sub'. The 'Simulate other key' action in version 3.10 shows the Bonovo HW volume keys but also the system wide Android 'Volume up/down media keys. But as I said version 3.10 does not work as it should (it forgets the original key function). We'll have to wait for version 4....

You can get any "aftermarket" microphone as they should all have the same plug. For instance: http://www.amazon.com/Blaupunkt-External-Bluetooth-Microphone-Toronto/dp/B00A0IUYOE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_422_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0WN96VKMJ4R9Y9JX1N36&dpSrc=sims&dpST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_

It's 20 euro for the mircrophone to send it to me :( little expensive no for a microphone?
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
I'm using Gravitybox (xposed module) to add and adjust numerous system settings. Under MediaTweaks I also ticked some of the available option there (just to see what they'll do). Perhaps those tweaks avoid your problem.

For Media Playback I use PowerAmp and because of its excellent and fully adjustable audio engine there's really no need for Viper and/or MusicFX. No problems when skipping songs while a Nav app is running (also tried Sygic). Also, when using skipping the signal is always send to the 'right' app. Did you adjust the 'Signal receiver' option in PBMC?

P.S. did an addition in the post but you already answered:

"I use PMBC 2.10, as any version higher is not working properly (for me).

However, in version 3.10 you can assign another key to the SWC Volume. The KeyEditor probably uses the MCU 'Bonovo Volume Add/sub'.

I noticed it updated but still no landscape mode. I emailed them and actually got a quick response:

So maybe there is some hope
[Android Head-Units] Grims:
Is there any point of hooking up the wired microphone if I plan to use a USB mic and hangouts for calls? The wiki also seems to say that if you use a USB MIC the headunit wont recieve audio? Surely if that were the case a USB mic wouldn't be practical?

Has anyone played around with "blinker cams"? Activating cameras on rearview mirrors to monitor blind spots when the blinker is activated?
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
The vidoe part is easy, just a video switch with trigger and maybe a relay getting signal from stalk.

Then you could probably rig it up to the same input as back up camera to auto switch to it. Depending on what you get it will take some extra relays as well.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I'm not sure if there is an event for it but you might even be able to see a turn signal indicator on the CAN bus.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
No, the wiki says that

some

USB mics register themselves as a USB audio device and take over the audio output.

There are USB mics out there that do not do this.
[Android Head-Units] Grims:
Ah, I misread it. I see the Logitech C270 seems to work, but is it the best option? I don't care about having a camera, but I want the best microphone for handsfree calling I can get.

There are a couple listed on the wiki but unfortunately there is no way to be sure without trying a mic first.
