Hello,

I've a couple of problems/question that I hope some one can help me with:

- StandBy is no longer working for me, It doesn't matter how long I set it, it always shuts down immediately. and I'm sure the problem is in the Android box.

- Google Maps takes along time to get a GPS signal, sometimes more than 5 minutes after boot up.

- Is there anyway I can lower the phone ringing volume? or maybe replace the audio file with one without a sound?

I'd like to avoid reflashing the Android box if possible.

MCU v53 (problem started with 44, updating didn't fix it)

xdAuto v 1.1.6d (problem started with c2, updating didn't fix it)

Thanks.

I also have this problem of no gps signal for a long time. All my apps that require location do not work until it gps lock. Anyone can help?

Btw big thanks to zanix and others working on the wiki. Ive been out of the loop on newsmy carpad updates for a long time and the wiki was extremely helpful. One problem i had was when i changed the boot logo with FFT, it would install but would get stuck in boot screen. I had to go back to stock rom.

Appreciate that. But, MEGA as the host? Tried multiple browsers and the download either failed or tried to get me to install an app on my tablet and phone. No bueno.

connector problem with Newsmy Carpad 2 5261s and VW Scirocco

Hi, I have a problem with installing the Newsmy Carpad 2 5261s on my VW Scirocco restyling (m.y 2016).

The connector that comes with Newsmy radio is not compliant with the connector on my car.

This (below) is my VW connector: I have no idea which are the pins for illumination, CAN, ecc. I have only found 12v, and GND with tester. VW reseller also has no clue.

[IMG="VW connector"]http://i.imgur.com/5rvmq9B.jpg[/IMG]

The connector of the Newsmy radio has all the pins that should insert in the yellow circle of my VW connector, but on this VW connector in that position there are no pins!

Somebody can give me an hint? I even contacted Sindy of Newsmy but she couldn't help in any way.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Do the connectors not fit together at all or there is just the mismatch in pin ins/outs? My experience with VW is from 9 years ago but VW do not have ACC or illumination in the harness. The signals are sent by canbus which the stock radio can read. Assume your new radio came with a canbus box? If you find out which connections in your car connector are the canbus ones you can do a test hook up and see if it works.

...edit quick Internet search shows that the VW connector used to have power, GND, canbus on that 8 pin iso-like connector. Appears VW changed the connector on the recent model year. Call around to some aftermarket stereo places and see if they have run into this problem and if an aftermarket adapter is available that you could use. I'm guessing the canbus signals are now routed to that pink/beige connector as that seems to be added from the previous generation connector.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
So while poking around to try to help with the above question I saw this screenshot. Does the stock rom have a customizable navbar or is newsmy using xdAuto?
[Android Head-Units] Daniux:
Hey thanks for your reply..

I've send some info request to some aftermarket stereo places.. two of them replied with different solutions. But I'm not sure that they are ok...

one is this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Autoleads-20BM02-MES-PC2-75-4/dp/B004S6QH5E

and the other is this:

http://www.nexxia.co.uk/product.asp...gen Parrot SOT Adaptors&product_code=CT10VW02

But how am I supposed to use them? I don't see a connection to the Power socket of the Newsmy, I mean this:

Googling around I came up with this post, about retrofitting the MIB2 Composition Radio (mounted on GOLF MK7 and my Scirocco restyling) on some older VW models (like golf MK6)...well they are talking about the problem that new VW models come with a different Quadlock connector...I don't know if this is some how related to my problem..

[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
I haven't looked at your links yet (will tonight), but you must already have a cable from NEWSMY that goes from the radio power connector to a quadlock that does not fit, correct? I would envision cutting off that quadlock in order to splice and solder a new quadlok that does fit, mapping the wires as appropriate.
[Android Head-Units] Daniux:
Yes it is correct. The aftermarket radio came with 2 sets of connectors:

this one:

​and this other one, but I think I have made a mess with wires and probably it's not usable now:

I would prefer to don't touch original VW wires for warranty issues..

Maybe knowing the pins of the quadlock could be a solution: I mean...wires on the Newsmy connector are labeled, but I have no idea about which are the pins of the quadlock and what are they for. Otherwise I could simply plug in directly the newmy wires in the pins of VW quadlock.

Anyway thanks for your support :highfive:
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
No pics are showing in your post, but I would never advocate cutting off the connector from the car wiring harness; I thought you could cut off the NEWSMY harness car-side and splice on a new car-side that fits, if you can find one.
[Android Head-Units] AlTB:
Try and error...

[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I would make sure the GPS antenna is not under metal and not right against glass. Also try testing it by holding it outside your car and see if you get a signal faster. If you do then you need to relocate the antenna.

Awwww thanks!

No idea about the boot logo though.

You should be able to use any aftermarket stereo harness adapter and join it to the wires from the CarPad.

It's kinda looks like the navbar on xdAuto, but not quite. The source for xdAuto is on github so it's possible they could have borrowed the code and redesigned it.
[Android Head-Units] MrFr1day:
Only Google Maps have the GPS problem, and on rare occasions, it actually works without a problem, even though I never touched the GPS antenna.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Pics weren't coming through because of my work browser...

At any rate top picture looks like a generic ISO connector, although I don't know what the orange one is - does it connect to RCAs for feeding an amp?

The second one down is obviously for a VW, just not quite the same config as yours. The two links you sent for other interfaces won't help - they all have pinouts in the location your car doesn't have pins. I don't know, but I suspect because your car is so new, there might not be an aftermarket product yet and so you cannot find a connector that fits. Try getting into contact with connects2 (www.connects2.com) and see if they can help, or at least are aware of that connector type (maybe send them a pic).

Good luck!

Any news how to get that "RGB Camera" point in settings? I have the same problem with my original VW rearview camera. Adapter doesnt help, video is black/white and some very strong flickering too.

Thanks

I use quite often the Google maps on my Samsung pad as a navigator (haven't installed the Newsmy unit yet) and I have similar problems. Usually I just use some other app to get the GPS fix first and then start the Google maps. If that doesn't work I just reboot the device.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
NR3001 is here but some problems are here:

1 - i don't have any led on, in the botton on the left side. I tried to set up from MCU but nothing change.

2 - i have a lot of disturb-distortion when i play a song. I tried to streaming from my Nexus 5 to NR3001 and sound is with distortions. I tried with youtube video ( also in streaming bluetooth) and same trouble. With play an mp3 from usb, works and there aren't these distortion.

3 - Why there are interferences ? if i put volume to max i can heard it. if i put a song with a medium volume i can heard already, so is a problem... :( and with factory radio there isn't these trouble )

4 - When i turn ON the radio i have some interference in speakers, i don't know why, and goes away in some seconds. If i put volume at MAX, i can hear some interference. ( with factory radio there isn't these problems)

I tried my radio without install it in my car, i only get the iso cable and i connected into NR3001, gps antenna, microphone, and antenna. no more cable. i tried also without antenna but distortion at low volume still present.

5 - what is this ? i need to remove it or i can leave it?

seems that this radio have a very very very very low quality about sound, but very low, i think that there is something that i wrong because is impossible that i can see a song with a normal volume with distortion, and isn't possible speakers because with factory radio these issue there isn't.

please help me :(

Reverse camera

Hi,

I have this unit for almost a year now, and I have no problems with it, except the fact that when I put the car in reverse the camera goes on, and the audio goes off (radio, bluetooth phone... everything). The mic of the bluetooth phone remains on, but otherwise any sound in the speakers is off.

The camera is powered from the reverse light bulb...

I talked to the mechanics that installed it, and they said that's the way this works... but I'm not convinced it is OK... It is annoying to talk on the phone (or listen to the radio) and not to hear anything when reversing the car...

Also, I have the app Backdraft, which doesn't do anything... just black screen...

Do you guys have the same problem?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
1) The lights only come on when the illumination cable is connected and powered

2-3) If you are having issues with distortion you probably have a bad unit. I would look into getting it exchanged.

There is an option in the MCU Settings apps that will disable muting when reversing.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You probably have a factory amplifier that isn't getting turned on. Most people think the NU/NR series have a pretty good amplifier, so my guess is you have a wiring issue somewhere.

There is a setting in the Update Settings (MCU settings app) to turn on/off sound when reversing. In the stock app I think it's called something like 'Astern Mute'. Pretty sure we re-named it in xdAuto to be more sensible.

If your rear camera is drawing power from your reverse lights then backdraft will have no effect. The Camera is only on if your reverse lights are on :) You'll have to get a little more creative with your wiring if you want to be able to use rearview camera in other circumstances.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
thanks to reply,

is normal that when i put volume to max i can heard some interferences?

is normal that when i streaming from my phone in bluetooth a song, have a terrible quality? but if i play a song from usb play fine but anyway there are some interferences if i put to medium or max volume and i doesn't play nothing.

I tried also gps and bluetooth call, and works fine without problem.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

Version of my car doesn't have a factory amp, and the terrible quality is when i streaming from my Nexus 5 to NR3001.

You can heard distortion also with low volume, with medium and high you can heard very well this issue, but if i play a song from usb, there isn't these distortion, but there are some interferences, especially if i put volume to max and play nothing, you can hard these interferences and i don't know if is normal or what.

thanks to reply, i need to know if i request a new head unit or my is fine

Thanks already
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
I've only tested on the bench but bluetooth and usb audio sources sound pretty good. You can certainly hear some other sounds when audio is low (silent sections for example) and you are opening an app or other action. I think though that with the background noise in the car this won't really be noticeable in practice.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
exactly, some other sounds with low volume or maximum silence and volume at max, also when there is silence and you press vol+ or vol- you can hear some sounds for a while... but why? can be fixed?

about bluetooth streaming, maybe is possible that i connected my phone with bluetooth to telephone?

when i tried to stream my music form my phone , i remember that i connected my nexus 5 to NR3001 with BTHFD ( the name of radio bluetooth), and im able to get incoming call etc, maybe i wrong to connect my phone with radio? there is another bluetooth and to streaming needed to connect to another bluetotooth? i don't remember, but i know form wiki that there is dual bluetooth...
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
No, you are correct to just connect to BTHFD. I've only tried with xdAuto, maybe some one else can weigh in on bluetooth streaming with the stock ROM? The other BT I believe would be used for connecting an OBD2 reader or other accessory to be used by the android system.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
i needed to try xdauto, is better than stock rom?

and the problem is that i do all operations in my car because i don't have a power supply to try in my house table.

would be great a easy solution to turn on this radio in my house, i don't have an atx
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Does anybody get screen distortion when using the reverse camera (while reversing) and playing music? Its seems that the louder the music is the more distortion I get. Was thinking of changing the firewire cable with a better one, but not sure if that will fix the issue. Any thoughts?

MCU v52

STOCK ROM 1.3.0

Is my current stock radio ( like factory )

I want to try xdauto.

I can flash only xdauto? with it i hav also twrp?

MCU version increase automatically? or needed update MCU, then flash xdauto? and recovery? ( i don't understand also how to go in recovery and bootloader or simply reboot)
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
But

Check out the wiki for instructions for both mcu update and installation of xdAuto. You need a male A to male A USB, the drivers, the rkbatch tools and image file(s). Installation of xdAuto will install TWRP recovery as part of the process.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
I see wiki istruction but there isn't a parte that suggest to update mcu in first and then xdauto, so i prefer to be sure, i have afraid to brick device.

So, mcu update and xdauto that will be install also twrp in automatic, right?

I had the same issues. I resolved it by completely unwrapping the wire to its maximum length. My GPS goes all the way around my front windshield counter-clockwise with the GPS unit glued to the left upper corner of the window. I have instant fix these days.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
thanks i see this part, but my doubt was "newer rom", i understand that newer rom means stock rom and not custom rom like xdauto.

Anyway i update MCU. But i have a problem to install xdauto because my laptop doesn't recognize the radio.

I install RK_DriverAssitant, then i connected the radio to my laptop ( all operations in my car.... a torture... ) i turn on and i put 5 fingers into logo, so black screen e burning mode for the radio, but in my pc says that usb device is unknow :(

i tried to install also Google USB Driver (zip) without success.

I'm on Win7 64bit
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
I had issues too too at first. Use the rk driver assistant to uninstall drivers then reinstall. Give everything lots of time. Windows tried to find drivers on its own and if I cancelled it messed things up. Just let it go. Also when you dejected switch the first time in rk batch windows will again do it's thing for a while. Again just give it time.

And I assume you made the switch in the OTG option in "update settings".
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
sorry but i don't understand how can recognize the device.

I ue this cable and i think that is right.

I turn on my laptop Win7 64bit, then the first time i launch Release_DriverAssitant and i install these driver.

Only the first time that i install it, appear this image

I connected this cable USB from my NR3001 to my laptop and i turn on the radio, when appear logo i put my 5 fingers then black screen and burning mode. ( in MCU i update to V53, previous was 52 for me, and i select "Connected to PC" )

Now windows doesn't recognize nothing.

I tried to install manually without success and with a lot of drivers, same issue.

So i re-launch Release_DriverAssitant and i tried to unistall these driver. This program say ok.

Then i tried to reinstall these driver and say ok, but without any windows security windows like this image

so are installed? not installed? anyway the first time that i do this process, apparently simple, no way to success.

I'm going crazy, believe me...

EDIT: i tried now like you suggest with windows update, but change nothing, says that the driver is already up to date about Unknow device, so for windows "unknown device" is good..... unbelievable....

well i don't know what i need to try...

Question - does the CarPad II/III have any possible way to access the bootloader or recovery outside of Android? What scares me is that if I start tinkering and something does not go right (let's say Android stops booting) it seems like I might become screwed.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Don't use the five finger method. Boot into normal OS then use rkbatch to connect (pink box) then hit switch and wait until box turns green. Upload image file and hit "restore". And make sure you have usb debugging set to on.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
This evening i will try but yesterday i tried into OS, without 5 finger but the result is the same. If doesn't work i try with my desktop but i need to get it in garage

Hi so i updated the carpad2 from 1.1.4 to 1.3.5 and latest mcu (53) and i noticed the bluetooth now has a delay in playing tones/audio from my iphone.

Eg. I used to use my iphone google maps for navigation and the turn by turn voice would play from the start of the prompt through the car speakers. Now there is a delay in playing through the car speakers that my turn by turn voice prompts are missing the first seconds of the prompt. Can this be fixed in the current rom and mcu or would i have to go back to older versions?
[Android Head-Units] RuneSP:
Hi

I've bought Newsmy NU5261, updated to MCU v53 and xdAuto 1.1.6.d

The device is pretty much working as expected, I however have one big issue. Whenever I turn off my car (VW Passat, 2013) and the radio goes into standby, theres no sound output the next time I turn on my car. The head unit turns on a few seconds after I turn on ignition and is working properly, but theres no sound output at all. I've verified that the android-digital source is selected in the select-source app.

If I reboot the android device, the sound works again. My MCU settings is set to turn off android unit after 1 day and activate airplane mode also after 1 day. I've tried pretty much all the settings in the MCU app (update-settings), the only one that works is setting it to turn off immediately after I turn off the car, but then I have to wait for it to reboot every time I enter =(

The issue was also present before I installed xdAuto btw.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks

[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
i guess that should be add in wiki

Are days that i tried to install xdauto in my NR3001 without success.

Today i know why and it's simple.

Don't use a USB cable male to male more than 1mt, so in the picture

use the black cable

, because the grey cable is 2mt and doesn't work.

Infact you have

Unknow device

with a cable more than 1mt.

In picture the black cable is a male to female A\B, i remove the metallic part of B connector ( female ) because i didn't found a cable A\A male male less than 1mt.

So warning when you use this cable to flash the ROM, a disconnection can brick the device i guess.

My personal experience ;)
