After a whole weekend of camping, I tried starting my car on Monday and it would not start. I'm thinking it might be the HU drawing power, as I just changed my car battery 2 years ago. Luckily I have a portable charger.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
It appears from the picture that you have a double DIN opening for your radio. But, that console might be all one piece? Can you seperate the radio from the rest of the console? Also, the mounts might be OEM specific to that radio. If so, you are going to need an aftermarket double DIN mount specific to your car. That's what she means by "frame".

My HU came with a Nissan wiring harness. As I have a Honda, I don't know if its a universal Nissan harness....
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
The same thing happened to me (except the camping part). Oh well live and learn I guess
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Really?....what will you do differently?...

How can we remedied this and not have it happen again?...I was thinking of installing an app that will turn off the unit before leaving my car at night or over a long weekend where I dont use my car....dont know if that will work.
[Android Head-Units] BonOeil:
1. I know but anyone here haven't solder an other colour led ?

2. But on LTE we don't know if it works.

3. Thank you !

4. Ok, we'll see !
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Or you can try putting another color film over the LEDs so it will look like the color you want.
[Android Head-Units] BonOeil:
Smart !
[Android Head-Units] mhdloader:
Yes it can be separated easily, i still need to check if i need a frame

Thanks man :good:

Gps

hello, i have a problem with the tomtom, gps does not see me, you have solutions?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Well, mine is set up so that the Android box is always powered on. The last few days I noticed the car took longer to start but I figured it was because it's been getting cold. Then I left it parked at the train station over the long weekend here (with the Android box unplugged) and when I got back it was dead as a doornail. I suppose it's possible the battery just needs to be replaced, but I've driven it quite a bit yesterday and today and it's starting just fine - with the Android box unplugged.

I'm still waiting for the CANbus adapter to arrive so I can connect it up the right way. Hopefully that will be the end of the problems.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
When I get mine I plan to do some on the bench current measurements to see what its pulling in its different states.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
We need to get a solution for this.

be Able to select the time to swith off after xx minutes.

Or at least a way to power off manualy. with power button or tasker task.

Problem is every time i try to switch off with tasker or any app it only restarts

Between all, someone installed a anti glare / reflections screen protector?
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
Mine still with factory "protector" :cool:
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Hhehehe mine too.

Problem is that i get so many sun reflection, Imposible to read screen on the day.

And where i live there are sun 364 days :D

So looking for something improbe sun legibility
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
OK Just ordered a screen protector from NUSHIELD http://www.nushield.com/

They have one for Brand IKAN and Model V8000HDMI that measure 177x99 so it will fit fine in our unit. The model Dayvue claim to reduce the sun reflections.

Reviews put them good. so let see
[Android Head-Units] ilcazzo:
I had this problem too... a few days internet surfing, tons of advices and different patches, but still not working... so, IGO is running here now :)
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
This is a problem with gps.hal. TomTom has this problem on multiple Android devices. This is not to blame on NewsMy.

If you copy gps.hal from cyanogenmod source to own NU3001 source it should work..

But I still haven't found out how to do that.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
You are unable to use Waze? Can you try that app? Maybe its just an issue with the TomTom app?

[Android Head-Units] NU5002S:
Just tried. Worked and updated from 2something to version 30 on the NU5002.

MCU is updated
[Android Head-Units] graveangel:
Has anyone has successfully installed red's rom on a NU5002? I tried to install the drivers from RKBatchTool v1.6 zip file and windows does not recognize the drivers.. the device is listed on device manager as CarPad-II-P but no luck installing the drivers... any idea if the drivers are compatible with the NU3001?
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
AFAIK yes, the drivers are universal for rockchip devices. Also you could put the update on an sdcard and update that way.
[Android Head-Units] graveangel:
I don't have a SD card yet but I have a Hd on the unit can I do it from the HD? Also what are the exact files needed and are there clear instructions I can follow?
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
The consensus so far is that nothing but SD card will work for a direct update. All you need is the update.IMG file on the root of SD card. When inserted, the update is detected and you'll be asked if you want to install.
[Android Head-Units] NU5002S:
How exactly would I go about updating my nu5002 to 1.0.9 rom? I looked at page 1 of thread but could not find update instructions. I don't have root but I do have a SD card and USB storage media. I move the huge zip to USB storage then how to install? Soz for newb question.

EDIT: I updated my nu 5002 to 1.0.9 by putting the file onto my USB and plugging it in. Was amazingly smooth process.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Forget the USB storage. Unzip the amplified1.0.9v1.1 zip file. Put the update.IMG file on the sdcard. On the root of SD card means not in a subdirectory (in the ROOT directory).

Insert the SD card and answer yes when it wants to install the update.
[Android Head-Units] skiddd:
Hi Guys.

Did anyone install this on a Toyota FJ Cruiser yet or any Toyota Truck for that matter?

I'm not sure if I need to buy the Scosche Fascia Panel adapter or not....

I already ordered the NU3001 via summer and paypal :)

I hope to get the installation done before the holidays it the unit arrives on time :)

B.R.

I bought the Samson go mic and I can detect it with the "USB audio record" application but android does not use it as a system mic. If anyone knows how to get this working on android for OK Google yet please share!
[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
So only volume control over music? Does volume control work as it should?

No GPS at all. You mean it can't find your location?

It's crazy. It's like they've come a long ways to get this done but just didn't quite finish it. Why would anyone do that?

Thanks for the pics and info.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Priusfan silly question but did you connect the GPS antenna? With my antenna connected I have an option to use GPS in the Location settings, and it works perfectly.

How do you have your unit connected? Is it in the car or on a bench? I am thinking about ordering all the installation pieces needed for my Saab and installing it to see if that helps the touchscreen issue (but of course I already know it won't). At the moment my biggest problem seems to be convincing them that the thing is defective so they will replace it.

bpalmer, volume works as it does on your phone or a tablet. In Sound settings you have the Volumes option to control Media and Notifications independently. The lack of a fader control doesn't matter to me because i haven't used that in a car in years. I'll just use an RCA Y adapter.

A note about Bluetooth, I have dual BT working. The built-in Android BT is used for connecting to OBD devices. It found mine and paired no problem, Torque behaves as expected. There is also a Bluetooth app that seems to be hardwired to a different BT adapter. It has a basic but functional phone app that found my HTC One and synced contacts easily, as well as allowing for A2DP music streaming. All works as expected, OBD and phone call at the same time no problem.
[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
Thanks for the info. It sounds like it will be fine for me (assuming it isn't broken or defective). I don't need fader control and we may be able to find a music app that has an EQ of some sort.

I'm still not sure how I will hook up the factory sub. I guess I'll try the aux out cables as long as that doesn't mute the internal amps.

Great news on the bluetooth. That sounds like just what I need. I wonder if OBD2 over USB would work.

Mine supposedly shipped out yesterday. No tracking number yet though.
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Bonjour Alan

I edited my previous message:

GPS is working now, Waze works OK.

My first tests were made on a bench, with the GPS antenna outside and using a car battery for power...

anyway, my touchscreen worked immediately wihout any trouble....

I made also a test in a car, taking the supply from the "cigarette lighter".

I confirm also my OBD BT interface works fine at the same time as phone.

I will try a real install on Sunday and test the backup camera...

Addenda:

a) The android box is already rooted, it is easy to use ADB via USB (or easier Droid Explorer).

b) I had a good look inside the radio apk (system/app/BonovoRadio.apk). It seems there is nothing inside for managing RDS.

c) BT teathering works perfectly from my phone Galaxy GN7100.

[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Come on everyone please read the thread. The last three posts are stuff that are already discussed in detail.

1. Yes it has USB host.

2. No, it's not a generic Android stick.

3. That's the only place that's selling it, it's the manufacturer, and it's the same price the rest of us paid.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
I have read the entire thread, nowhere did anyone post a direct link. Mostly its about talking to someone and buying it through her.

For people (me included) not used to buying stuff from Aliexpress, it takes direct link and they can go from there.

I'm sorry that your unit came defected.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Thanks, somehow I missed it.

Might buy this thing
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Knowing what I know now, I'd still buy it. In terms of build quality and Android pureness, the other units out there don't even come close. I had it out in the sun for a while today and the screen is fine.

Those who are considering buying one, if you feel like it you might mention to them that you're having second thoughts since your friend Alan got a broken one and they seem to be dragging their feet fixing it. :)

What other android HU have you tried?
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Are those fins on the back? Like a heatsink? I wish it had a fan

Tappin da crack
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Hello, for people leaving in Europe, It is possible to buy it in Spain,

I paid 417€ (transport & customs fee included).

I will test today Torque with a USB OBD-interface, I suppose it will work....

I have also another android HU, it is not a crap, it works fine...

comparison between the 2:

the second:

has a bigger screen & better res.

it allows BT Tethering.

boot time is faster.

the first:

RDS is really operational.

has a real audio mixer management (balance / fader / equalizer).

the buttons are much more user friendly when driving.

the cost is less....
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Answer is YES. I just tested Torque with my old OBDLINK.

I connected it to the standard USB plug on the box.

I get 122 PIDs / Sec.

For info, I get only 60 PIDs /Sec on the same car using an OBDLINK LX (via BT).

I checked also using at the same time Waze & Torque. It works fine....
[Android Head-Units] SWEUP:
Im using ouku android 2.3,the biggest problem with this unit is the core apps for radio, tv and music. When booting up the latest used core app is started, also I got problem with core apps sound is "superior" to other regular apps (like spotify), the sound from the core apps don't stop when starting another app.

Regarding this unit;

- when booting up, is there any auto start for latest used app?

-if so, is it pre-installed core apps that autostart?
[Android Head-Units] m3co:
I have been following this, and hope soon get a unit for me too, could you guys make a video review soon you get all full working so we can real see how it works for real?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
The only "core" app is the radio and it does not seem to auto start.

Again, this is bone-stock Android. It's not like all the other HUs out there. Functionality is the same as if you stuck a Nexus 7 to your dashboard. The MCU is very basic.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Sounds good to me. I have an N7 in my car now, but this will fit better..

Another benefit of this is there is less integration to install than the tablet..

Too bad it does ies not have RDS on the radio app

Hi all.

Anybody know how i can adjust volume for external microphone (3.5mm jack) i try Soundrecord.apk - volume level very low. BT app work fine, I hear incoming calls clearly and loudly, but my opponent can not hear me.

PS i use stock microphone
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Try using another 3.5mm mic...I used my JVC mic and people hear me fine. Never actually used the stock Mic that came with the radio.
[Android Head-Units] deeznutz1977:
Did u send Themer a request ..I'll get my friend to look at the .apk
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
I do not have any problem with stock Mic. So, seems it's a lottery.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
OK, Problem with themer is with actual themes gallery, that have diferent resolutions.

But as themer support told me im able to create my own theme.

I get the apk and installed just fine (cant install from google play)

When try to see avaiable themes it give me error, but i can create my own

I will play a litle with it and post redults here

How do I create the highest quality subwoofer rca L+R output from this head unit? I don't want to use the low-level convertor thing (from Boss, because it just doesn't properly represent the bass) but is it possible to split the rca output and put the subwoofer on a hardware crossover and filter out the high frequencies then send that signal via rca out to my sub amp?
[Android Head-Units] deeznutz1977:
looks good bro. how do you like it?
[Android Head-Units] ker2gsr:
So far so good gotta load amplified ROM and MCU v30 then I'll start playing with it still trying to figure out the backup camera hook up
[Android Head-Units] FrenchSparda:
do you know if 6.2" version exist ? seems a great unit.

no hardware buttons is a great option compared to huifei units
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
6.2" versions exist to accommodate buttons and DVD drives. They still fit into standard (well, that's a bigger issue) double din openings. The NU3001 is also sized to fit a Double Din. The screen is larger because it doesn't have to accommodate a DVD.

[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
That is a bummer. I doubt they'll just send you a new screen. I'm sure they'd fix it for you if you want to ship it back to China.
[Android Head-Units] crh2420:
I have not received my unit yet so i can not answer this by experience yet, but i might be able to help. Does you sub amp have a built in crossover and or a low pass filter? If it does do not use the low-pass filters, crossovers, or bass boosts on the receiver and the amplifier at the same time — use one or the other, but not both. The reason is that something called phase distortion generates around each filter or boost's crossover frequency, muddying up the sound. The built in crossover and low-pass filter eliminates the notes you don't want your sub woofer to play like cymbals, strings, vocals, and guitars. If your sub amp does not have these settings built in then a standalone crossover will do the job and should have RCA in and RCA out which will go to you sub amp directly. You would then use the crossover to eliminate the high's and unwanted mids. There are also in-line crossovers that connect before the amplifier. They look like little cylinders with RCA connectors on each end and simply plug into your amplifier’s inputs. In-line crossovers make sure your amplifiers don’t amplify signals you don’t want like high frequencies to a sub woofer amp.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
To add.. There is no built-in subwoofer output possible.

Trust me, I've tried everything to get multiple outputs.

Mailed Summer with the question if the HDMI has 5.1 output, she said YES. I've bought a mini HDMI to HDMI cable to test. and..... No 5.1, but just stereo output.

The RCA out on the H/U is a low level left and right of the front channels. Since I still want to use the fader on the H/U i'm forced to use a high/low converter (for at least the back channel) or an amplifier that supports high input.

In the end I'm planning on doing the following with a 5 channel amp (JBL GTO 5EZ):

- RCA out of the H/U to the front channel of amp

- Connect high/low converter to back channel speaker output of H/U. The high/low converter provides RCA low level output to back channel of amp

- The 5 channel amp has built-in crossover for subwoofer output along with a bass-boost etc

I bought this amplifier because of all the issues with the H/U not having a rear RCA output and sub RCA output.
[Android Head-Units] NU5002S:
In reply to the above, I have ordered a LOC from David navone. I hear they are better than this PAC LOC I have. With the pac LOC my sub experiences noise from something. I hope to get the best signal possible to my huge sub in the back on a GP3000D.

If there is any possible way to create a perfect subwoofer 5v- 9v rca signal by splitting the RCA from the aux from this h/u I would love to learn how to do it.

Because from what i understand, the signal from the aux front L+R is full range. Why can't we crossover that signal and send just the sub 50khz through RCA?
[Android Head-Units] crh2420:
I found this...We may have to treat it like a factory headunit. This might be what we have to do...Thoughts?

"Stock Wiring

The vast majority of stock radios do not include outputs on the back for wiring amplifiers. These RCA connections known as preouts provide a clean line-level signal for new amps added to the system. However, line out converters colloquially known as "LOCs" solve this issue, wiring into the rear speaker level leads on the back of stock radios and converting the signal to a low level. From there, RCAs carry the signal to the subwoofer amplifier.

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Reread your last statement and i think im following what your saying . So if im running a mono amp with built in crossover i should be fine with just connecting into the full range front RCA's. or am i missing something
