Hi from spain.

I just follow this theard since last 5 days, and every day im liking more this unit.

I plan to get it for my VW Touareg, but newsmy say the units is not suitable for my car, dont know why. they dont give more details. (as i know only problem is i need a adapter frame to adapt my car to 2din, and get the iso/vw harness adaptors. I think im loose the steer whel conector, as my car use canbus 1.6 and this unit dosent have canbus decoder

Any one have installed the unit in a VW GROUP CAR? and audi or vw ?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Ok, You guys have beat me down. I'm looking seriously at getting one of these, but I want that 8" Tiggo version. I'm not afraid to cut the dash bezel in my truck (I don't want to tell you how many times over the last 15 years that I've cut/trimmed/fabricated crap in my vehicles to mount computers/tablets/laptops, etc.). Sent message to Summer to see if they will sell it to US buyer, and price, etc.

For those actively working on dev, I am interested in using some type of USB volume control (Griffin Powermate, 3dConnexion space mouse) to control functions. Think of it as a poor mans BMW iDrive control. Assuming I get one of these units, I'll help with some android UI/front end code if someone can help with the back end stuff.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
That unit appears to be like ours mostly. At least its the same resolution. Lack of capacitive buttons on the front may change things. Can't vouch for the internals though. If you get it you can give my ROM a try, assuming you have matching stock stuff installed. Before you do, there is a way to extract the current ROM so you have something to go back to in case there is a problem. PM me if you ever get one in your hands.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
I'll do that. The unit is going into a Honda CRZ.
[Android Head-Units] snahrck:
Awesome! I have a 2015 Honda Fit, and maybe it has similar connectors. I'll have to find adaptors since I don't want to cut wires. Does it have rear camera?
[Android Head-Units] timothyjf:
Does anyone know if there is a wire harness for the unit? I have one for my car but I do not want to cut the wires to the unit.
[Android Head-Units] snahrck:
What you'll have to do is to find a harness adapter for your car. I'm also trying to figure out this. Someone post this picture:

[IMG="What comes with the unity"]http://priusfan.info/carpad/carpad001.jpg[/IMG]

And this unboxing video showing the cables and connectors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KIL6Ix_CM1M
[Android Head-Units] timothyjf:
I have this unit already and I have an adaptor for my car (plugs in perfectly). I did not receive the universal, pre-stripped, wiring harness. See the open box pictures entitled "Main wiring harness and Android Box cable - closeup". Instead, I got some random car's adaptor. I'm guessing I have to strip since I did not receive this.

You can find a wiring harness for your car on amazon.

Can't post URL's cause I am a noobie.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
No rear camera. This car is so tiny it's not needed. ;)
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Any word on this special offer? Or perhaps of we can put together a group buy...
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
The installer just told me that the wiring harness is specifically for a VW. There are two harnesses, one is VW and the other is for a Toyota. Hope that helps.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
I think most of us got what you got. I ended up stripping the "Nissan" adapter, I left the ISO alone, I might need that in the future.
[Android Head-Units] timothyjf:
Ah. I wish I had known that. I would have asked for the universal one rather than stripping this one. I'll try it tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks.

Also, I just ordered the steering wheel adaptor for my car as well. I'll see if I can get that running as well.
[Android Head-Units] Stormbringer!:
I just ordered my unit directly on Thursday and received it yesterday! I'm in illinois... Unit looks nice and sturdy. cant wait to install it!!!
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Here is a little video demo of the modded Red rom.

[YOUTUBE]cKqIpmbRA4E[/YOUTUBE]
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
It's installed but I have a horrendous screen flicker on the unit. It's grounded and I factory reset the device. Yet the screen flickering is still there. Any advice?

The SWC work flawlessly. No issues.
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Bomb as hell!!

Just outta curiosity, any one tried screen casting their phone onto this unit? I just wanna know if it's possible
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
I have an iPhone and that works excellent with AirPlay (installed AirReceiver). This H/U does support screen mirroring/casting.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Check the connection between the android box and the HU. Who did the install?
[Android Head-Units] NU5002S:
same here, always getting "cant save profile" in my applications like the SD card is unmounted.

My rom is: Stock --> upgrade to Tuatara 1.1.4 -- > upgrade to 1.1.6b from Boko

Under my storage I see something like a 1gb SD card mounted, with some free space, so I think everything should be functioning good but it still gives errors.
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
I apologize if it has already been discussed above, but do not speak English, and I use google translator, I can not translate more than 400 pages.

volume wheel believe that it not to work, I use a USB IR control, and the volume keys work with the overall volume of android, not the volume of music.

could be done via software to acknowledge all the buttons and map the USB IR remote control?
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
@ -=Jeff=- . I think I've already aswered that in post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60777169&postcount=4671
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Yeah Thanks.. I forgot about the different IR Protocols
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
No worries.

But what exactly would you need an IR remote for?

I mean it is a nice feature, but now I have it, I wonder do I really need it?

Is your HU out of reach or don't you have SWC?

And what would you like to control? (play, stop pause, cursor nav)
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
There is code there for different cars. You could code up for your car.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
I don't need it, If the apple remote would have worked it would have been a stop gap for me..

You are correct I don't have SWC but really want an actual button for Volume mainly.. I am working on a bezel that will have it though and use the SWC controls

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

I guess if I could find the right stuff for it.. I have been searching and I have had no real luck yet.. my DD is a 2007 Chevy Malibu and the SW GMLAN in the radio has a bunch of creature features that would be nice..
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Ah...I probably missed that you have a NU5002S or similar without the resistive buttons. I can see your point.

Anyway, if you'd like to tinker with remote control at all, try to get your hands on a RII Mini i13 Mini Keyboard & Air Mouse & IR remote & Voice Combo. As stated it is:

A 2.4 ghz wireless keyboard - for typing your command

A wireless mouse - for pointing your command

A learning IR remote - for sending you command

A Mic (and speaker) - for actually talking your command

All functions work out of the box on the NU3001 (though you have to learn the IR buttons a compatible protocol)

[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
No I have the 3001.. but due to the location of the radio, it is sometimes difficult to hit the buttons correctly.. I wanted physical buttons so I could do it with looking/glancing to the target spot. SO really the IR is not a big deal..

Here is the install

I am going to add some OEM button to the right of the Power key in that bezel
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
A picture says more than a thousand words....:)
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I have an Impala with the same GMLAN. It would be nice to set the oil change, horn sound when locking and other such functions. Have an Android application with a picture of the old GM radio with the same menu system.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Yeah, Stupid GM.. I like the trip functions and DTE, really don't want to lose that, so I stick with the OEM.. I guess Torque or Scantool.net will give some of the functionality back.. then I could atleast have the same radio in both cars :)
[Android Head-Units] Black6spdZ:
did you use the IMG flash or ZIP recovery flash? I used the ZIP flashes for b1 and b2 and using trickstermod haven't seen frequencies higher than 1600.. I then tried flashing the b2 kernel.img directly with batch tool and still no OC frequencies. I suppose it could be trickstermod
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Has anyone fully tested standby mode in 1.1.6b3? Before in Tuatara's 1.1.4 rom, I noticed that if I'm running a music app and then I turn off the ignition, when I turn it back on after some time the song is pretty much where it was when I turned off the car. Now, when I try the same scenario, I'm at a totally different song. This doesn't seem like a standard standby behavior. Instead, it seems like the HU screen just turns off and the Android box is still running as normal.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
b1 and b2 zip were definitely not flashing the kernel, but the img with rkbatchtool would have.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You are correct. This is something we've missed somewhere in the merging of 1.0.9/1.14/1.1.6 code. The stock Newsmy ROMS fixed this somewhere around 1.1.4, which is why it works on Tuatara's. His is a modified stock 1.1.4, but it wasn't built from source.

We started with the 1.0.9 source leak, did some manual porting of 1.1.4, and finally have been merging most of the 1.1.6 source leak. I'm still looking for this particular piece of handy work. I would have sworn it would have been in bonovoHandle, but I've merged all of their 1.1.6 code and it didn't fix it. It's one of many things I and [MENTION=4173803]Bokomaru[/MENTION] are looking to fix.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Thanks for the update. Just thought I'd share my experience to future releases. As always, thanks to all (especially you and [MENTION=4173803]Bokomaru[/MENTION]) for the support for the releases :)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Not certain, but check BonovoHandle / HandleService.java:

private static final boolean mIsKillProcessWhenScreenOff = false;

It would catch you since it was turned off in the Newsmy source drop as well

It looks like it will disable the whole kill and restart routine when the screen sleeps.

It doesn't look like they just pause music on screen off, they kill the whole app and then restart it when the screen comes back on.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
...and the data stays connected as well. I burned through 2GB of data while I was parked over the last week or so.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
I did. All went smoothly.

1. flashed from xdAuto-1.0.9 to xdAuto-1.1.6b3.img with Batch tool.

2. Had to make couple of reboots, to start system normally.

3. Updated MCU from v.34 to v.40

Everything seems to work well for two days.

[MENTION=2190016]Zaphod-Beeblebrox[/MENTION]

I hope not to offend but i have a though for your Nav bar in XdAuto.

As i also have the Nu5002 so having your nav bar is a must, but the volume adjustment is proving to be a bit troublesome when diving (slider Bar) would it be possible to add/+ the volume in increments each time the button is pressed.

So basically you could tap the button to your desired level.

Just a suggestion but i understand it may not be everybody's cup of tea
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
That makes sense, and I was actually studying that code a bit last night. What threw me off is why would the variable be set different in their leak vs their release? Their code is littered with old routines that they've simply commented out as they decided to do things differently. I figured this was just one more method that was 'disposed of'. I'll be traveling for a few days, so won't have time to test, but I think you've been building from source as well? Maybe test your theory and let me know how it goes?

What's your time out set to? And what in the world was downloading in the background? Streaming Music app I presume?

I am pretty sure the system still sets Airplane mode when screen off. But I think you use a data card, so maybe that doesn't get shut down on Airplane mode.

No offense. This is the reason I like this device, we have the capability to tinker and set things up the very way we want. Don't have that with many devices. I don't think I want to make the volume button autmatically add to the volume when pressed. I like the particular functionality of that button. Although, I primarily use SWC, and that button is just there as a backup for me. Using it as your primary control could be ergonomically challenging.

What I do hope to do soon, is add some controls in Settings to allow you to turn on/off each of the buttons independently. If I do that, I could bring back the option of the stock Newsmy Volume buttons pretty easily.

Also, I added some code last night to my local branch which ties the standard VOLUME_UP/DOWN keys to the bonovo Volume intents. It was a pretty easy add, and allows external devices (I tested with my Fusion USB Rotary nob) to control volume. Should work with any device that maps to standard android volumeup/down/mute. I haven't pushed it to github yet, as I need to clean up the methodology a bit, but I'll try to have that pushed this weekend.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Debugging perhaps? I figure we came across the code while it was being transferred from one developer to another or one workstation to another. It wasn't necessarily in ready to release shape.

I'm just about to do another test build for myself now, i'll add it in and see what happens.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Ok, so it looks like that code is incomplete.

When I tried it with Google Play music it went back to the home screen when I turned off the car. When I turned it back on it was still playing and the timer indicated it had played though. It stayed on the home screen when the car was restarted.

Pandora and Netflix both closed when I turned the car off and stopped playback. When I restarted the car they both stayed closed and I was back on the home screen.

Edit: After some more reading i'm wondering why they are making this so difficult?

Unless its for power saving reasons, I don't get the need to close the apps down. Surely sending a play pause event like the keyeditor app can be set to would be effective enough for most media apps combined with airplane mode.
[Android Head-Units] Stormbringer!:
are the xdAuto partitions different from stock or the earlier ROMS?

Again, it seems that the partition information might be different as my setup is NOT seeing the internal SD card. so preferences aren't saved and the updater cant find the files to update the MCU.
[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
Do you guys experience silence and a clicking audio feedback noise when connecting to the BTHFD via Bluetooth with your Android phone and switching between applications on your phone? My radio always ducks volume when I switch apps on my phone when it's linked to the HU via Bluetooth and I would love to fix that... it's pretty annoying because it interrupts whatever you're listening to
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
The partition info hasn't change since Tautoro's ROMs. I even tried manually adjusting to see if I could reproduce the issue without any luck. I know when I looked at zaphod's recovery log the partition mapping seemed to be off by 1 as shown in the HWDEF file but the actuals didn't line up. For example the internal was by-name mapping to 12 but that was an invalid block device and was actually on 11.

The ordering shouldn't really matter since everything should be using them 'by-name'.

My replacement parts are supposed to be here tomorrow so I'll be able to get back to work on this. Hopefully will have another virgin unit to test on then as well.

I'm sure this will be a pretty easy fix once I can reproduce the issue.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes, partitions are different from stock. Same as that area though. B version has particular partition mounting issues, use c instead.

It's playing the clicks from your phone (and radio is ducking it). Either change settings on phone, or turn off btmusic while listening to other source.

Yes, I Scratch my head about why they do what they do. Needs a lot of rewrite.
[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
So I own the Galaxy Note 4... do you know what settings I can use to have phone and music linked to the HU and not have it do the feedback noise?
[Android Head-Units] ultradj83:
Dears, I'm using Factory Tool to build up my update.img .

Where does is store working data?

I want to increase apps partition to 3GB reducing data partition: how can I do this?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Head-Units] Stormbringer!:
uhh... where does one find C?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Let's all take a minute to rejoice in the fact that this thread now exists in the Android Head Units forum! From here on out we should try to separate posts about ROMs, install questions, problem-solving and "I can't be bothered to read the wiki" questions into different threads. I'll speak to Mike, who administers the forum, about how to format these.

Anyway...

I've been doing some experimenting today. Two problems I've been trying to get worked out are voice control and the annoying static/ticks/pops/miscellaneous noises present in the line outputs.

I had ordered a USB mic a few months ago from Amazon that never showed up so I decided to kill two birds with one USB port and ordered this guy, a 9€ USB sound card with no drivers required. (Yes I am aware that tuner, phone bluetooth, and aux-in won't work with this, I don't care).

Microphone: Plugged it into the Android box and plugged the Newsmy microphone into the mic input. OK Google worked perfectly right off the bat. No problem, no issues. Automate's voice control worked fine too.

Audio Output: As expected, the output from the RCAs on the Newsmy HU stopped working immediately. I switched to the USB card's output and it worked instantly as well. Subjectively it sounded better to me, but not a huge amount. Viper also automatically added a new USB/Dock tab with some fun and interesting options. Listening with the music paused, though, revealed that...the noise is still present. Not as bad, but still there, especially when starting certain apps like Settings. Of course the downside is that the volume control no longer works and it's at full-blast all the time.

So where to go from here? Well for one I suspect that the noise is leaking from the HU. My car's wiring harness uses unshielded and untwisted cables to carry the line-level signal so it's easy to pick up noise from the environment. I didn't have time to test moving around cables and adding shielding today, but will do so soon. At any rate, the improvement as-is was worthwhile. So, that leaves the subject of volume control.

Z-B, do you think one of your heads could find the time to give an option to have the volume control the "real" system volume and not the MCU one?

Having the option to use an alternative sound card or high-quality DAC would be a huge win for the audiophiles among us and a big plus for our head unit.
[Android Head-Units] Azerty093:
Hello, The parking sensors automatically work on Polo five ? Thanks you for you help.
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
please asking that some update of xdauto, you add the compatibility of a USB IR receiver with keyboard editor because the NU5002 not have IR receiver, and my car does not have steering wheel controls, those of have told me newsmy the NU5002 not going to have any chance of IR receiver on your part, you are my only hope,

and also thank effort needs to be done, though not possible, add the feature
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
He means 1.1.6b3
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I keep doing that. I mean 1.1.6b3 as Bokomaru mentioned.

See one of my previous posts, I already have the code on my local branch working. I need to clean up the implementation (I was calling an open intent from a system object, and Android was spitting up security warnings in the logs... should be easy enough to fix. But I didn't want to release it in that form)

I'm traveling this week, but will try to push to github this weekend. Maybe [MENTION=4173803]Bokomaru[/MENTION] will want to release a new version sometime then.

I can still build and release full img files, but I still haven't figured out why my zip files (otapackage) are corrupt.

Exactly. You'd think with two heads that I could keep that straight, but surprisingly enough I can't :)
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Yes, if I have BT music enabled the UI sounds will come through the stereo and duck other audio.

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

He probably means 1.1.6b3

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

Awesome!

Edit: I just realized I now need to look at more than just 1 thread to keep the wiki up-to-date :eek:
[Android Head-Units] Stormbringer!:
Ok, I just flashed 1.1.6b3 using the rkbatchtool this time - I was able to get it to work.

Still no dice, its not re-partitioning it to whatever is used in that rom. internal SD is still not recognized and im still unable to update my MCU.

was there some "transition" ROM you guys all used or is there something else I'm missing? was I supposed to do a restore in the rkbatchtool instead of update? Hope I can get this working since I'm going on a road trip this weekend and some apps arent working correctly without the internal sd to save preferences to.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I've always done a restore to install new firmware though rkbatchtool without problems.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I never saw a difference between restore or upgrade with the tool. Its the misc image/partition that tells the recovery what to do (wipe/format)
[Android Head-Units] JeepAndroid:
dumb question from a dumbass.

Hi folks, got my unit yesterday and plugged the android box to a monitor...then got stuck!

Given can't touch screen the android box how are u folks navigating it when connected to monitors?

Am I missing something? Also does the head unit need a separate power supply coz When I plugged it to the box via FireWire nothing happened.

Sorry for the dumbness on my part.
[Android Head-Units] Fedorych:
Dear developers xdAuto, could you add to the KeyEditor.apk, the command that changes the source of the sound, music to radio-radio to music and so the circle?

Haven't been following this thread for a while and just noticed this nice buttons on your screen. Are they included in the XDAuto rom? Sorry if i am asking but i didnt find any info about that.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
All the buttons on the bottom of the screen / nav bar is part of XdAuto thanks to [MENTION=2190016]Zaphod-Beeblebrox[/MENTION]

I am using Exposed and "force translucent Kitat" module to make the navbar translucent on home screen.

Now the Circle of buttons/apps are thanks to "Smart Launcher" really happy with this launcher, used it on my Parrot Asteroid Smart also.

It does a great job of organizing your apps in applications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXHgKjyQNic&hd=1
