Android Auto via Carletter wireless not working with 0508 FW.

Any solution?

I think Carletter app can't share WiFi hotspot thats the problem.
[Android Head-Units] ImBenny:
It worked to me on FW 0328

Now I am on the latest FW (0508) and it only works with USB :(
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
I have the latest FW, and wireless AA via Carletter work perfect for me.
[Android Head-Units] Meteordust:
My procedure is go into the folder, select the part0, part1 and desc.text.

Add to archive.

So what you do wrong is that you select the whole folder, you need to select the two folders part0, part 1 and desc.txt

Name it bootanimation.zip and see screenshot.

Important I have other screen like you ??
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Yes, I do exactly as you write... bu my 7zip sw (x64 version, latest) doesn't show among the compression options, as first choice in the list, as your picture "0 - Nessuna" instead as first choice I have "Memorizzazione" (see my picture).

But I think it's the same...

ITA : Memorizzazione = EN: Store

edit:

I thought...

rather than using .png for the frames, better .jpg (so the final zip is "lighter" and perhaps faster OS cold boot?

Or same thing?
[Android Head-Units] x0101222:
Most likely it was the zip file or txt file that is somehow kind of corrupted.

It also happened to me in my tests.

The only way that I found to avoid this kind of locks was to build the zip with boot animation factory and in each change I repack it again with the boot animation factory.

I also faced the need to load the standard animation (or one diferente ) and resent the test logo that I was working. Somehow the file structure was corrupted that the boot logo was not been loading .
[Android Head-Units] halloj:
So for two of us, it doesn't work with the latest FW. Any special trick to get it working? What is the brand of your phone?
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
I agree with everything you write...if you don't do it right when make a final zip, it will be corrupted afterwards.

Best way then use boot animation factory for make a final zip. (y)
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
I have S21

After update a soft, there is Zlink as default, i changed it in Factory menu to Carletter. The unit had reboot itself. After that i run the app an just connect with the phone.

On the phone it need to be run a data transmission, wifi, bt and localisation
[Android Head-Units] shinji82:
Ist there a chance to initialize a USB Drive quicker after the HU was in Stand-by? I use AIMP as Media Player and a 2TB Samsung SSD. To Play audio Files i must wait about 1-2 minutes and then came the USB Symbol in the Display. It makes no difference to use a Thumb Drive or a SSD. The waiting Time ist the Same.
[Android Head-Units] Meteordust:
Also used in the past 7zip 64 bits latest version so don't know why you have different options in names?

Understand you will use boot animation factory from now.

Made jpg and png but don't see faster cold boot with jpg.

Extracted our firmware, original stock Android boot ani is made with 24 bit png files.

Both work and jpg makes it smaller in size, as long you not make a 10 Mb or bigger ani it will not really matter I think.
[Android Head-Units] halloj:
Mine is also S8 but I can't get wireless to work. Same setup as you, but different outcome. i.e only wired AA.

I asked the seller to activate Zlink but they refuse. Says CarLetter works. Well it does, but only wired.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Hi,

well, today I unistall 7zip,download the latest release from the official site again,install this one,and now I have identical choice options to yours!

Probably something was not ok or the version I had before was not the latest...

About png or jpg frames:

better leave png as we know (from your tests) that as default Android uses png for bootanimated. ;)
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Hi all, if anybody would like to test a very early alpha version of NavRadio(basic), they can find it here:

Download NavRadio BASIC for QF01

it's incomplete, full of bugs, it surely crash here and there but still usable.

I have enabled Google Crashlytics to help me debug all the crash and ANR so more people use it and more i'll fix it.

The full version will come when the free version will run smootly.

Enjoy;)

NOTES:

- Autoscan is done by MCU and it's fixed to 18 stations. Anyway you can use Autoseek function to find more stations or add new ones to the existing ones.

- The first frequency at startup need to be fixed.

- Sometimes you can hear the sound muting for a second, it's because the ROCO service think that navradio is a player and not a radio. I'll look for a fix later on..

Hi guys, new day new problem for me with my unit, (it’s only 2 days I have it haha)

Today my unit was very hot to touch I’ve went to the fan control app the fan was indeed working (I put it to manual always on) and the CPU was 86 C degrees .. I’ve read some post about heating issue but cannot conclude to anything.. so is my unit defective ??

Hizpo S5 4gb ram 64 gb rom

Car : VW Golf 6 2011
[Android Head-Units] andysabre:
Thankyou So much! i'll try as soon as.
[Android Head-Units] Bro´:
what was the temperature in the car? What firmware are you currently on? did you update? no drop during idle ?
[Android Head-Units] tlf55:
Temp in car was like 22 C because of Air conditionner running . I’m on the latest firmware 0508. I didn’t pay enough attention about the idle because i was a bit late driving to work so..

This 86C temps was when using Zlink CarPlay wireless
[Android Head-Units] Bro´:
I had a similar problem, I solved it by going back to 0304, and I stayed there. Ossuret did not provide me with anything else. I have S8 with MCU QF03.
[Android Head-Units] tlf55:
Didn’t worked for me.. I’ve downgraded to the same version but still overheating.. what is the normal temperature of the unit ? I mean when listening to radio or using CarPlay ?
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Guys, there was a problem with the release that make the app to not start.

I uploaded a "FIXED" version now:

Download NavRadio BASIC for QF01 FIXED

Please download it again and sorry about it
[Android Head-Units] noppoer2:
i have updated my radio to 08/05 version. Because Android auto wireless is not working on my older version. Also on the 08/05 version. Now i did a factory reset and my buttons are not working any more (Home, next track, mute, navi, radio, enz enz) on my unit. Only my volume button is working. Do you guys maby know how i can fix this.
[Android Head-Units] ImBenny:
You have to remap buttons in the settings!

Go to settings, enter 8888 then you will find a menu there where you can add functions to buttons.

I am working now but I will take pictures when I arrive home if you want.

Did you get the Wireless AA work btw?

It worked well to me before the update but now it only works wired via CarLetter. :(
[Android Head-Units] noppoer2:
thank you, I will try when i am at home!

Unfortunately, my wireless android car does not work either. It randomly stopped working on the 0414 update. That's why I updated to the 08/05 version, that didn't solve the problem either. And even after a factory reset I can't get it to work..
[Android Head-Units] ImBenny:
It starts sharing WiFi on wireless mode, isn't it?

Mine does nothing. :(

My phone even crashes after waiting a lot.
[Android Head-Units] ImBenny:
Maybe we should try out downgrading the Android Auto App on our phone then.

What if it stopped working after a Google Play Store update?
[Android Head-Units] noppoer2:
I don't think it's an issue on the phone. Normally, with carletter, the Bluetooth logo turns green when my phone has a Bluetooth connection with the unit. That is not happening at all now. The strange thing is that apple carplay wireless just works properly.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
If fixed in car, i had 55-65, but in last tuesday i did some mod and

Anyway. Go to Factory and set "332211" it should be a popup with cpu load and temp (you turn off the window by write again this code) . If the load do not change in time, but it's in max, then there is something wrong with MCU firmware or in mcu itself. But if the load change between min and max, i suspect no thermopad between cpu and housing. Somewhere in the middle of this thread, there is a description how it looks
[Android Head-Units] Elrathias:
Remove bluetooth pairing on HU and android auto history from phone, then retry. Else factory restore the head unit, and try again.
[Android Head-Units] noppoer2:
Yes it works again now!. vias the menu of 8888. I have set all the buttons. Thank you!

I have followed the steps above with no success. Even a factory reset didn't help. When I have time, I'll investigate why it will come. Otherwise I will look for another app/solution
[Android Head-Units] tlf55:
Thanks i'll try that before modding anything !
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Has anyone pulled the Audio player stock app from the Sx model radio?

Horrible look, I would like to see if it is possible to "modify"...

What can be a valid alternative app to this stock audio player, in anticipation of using Car Launcher Pro as main launcher?
[Android Head-Units] Clandaries:
Maybe Musicolet. It also has car mode.

Edit: i was thinking of radioplayer. That one has a car mode.

But Musicolet is a good music player
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Thanks.

I know Musicolet good app.

I tried this app on Car Launcher pro (only test for the moment with phone, I want to create my theme first...) and it works fine embedded, in background.

With phone, however, when it connects with Car Launcher, an popup appears at the beginning (if I have the data internet active) then immediately after the popup disappears.

No other free and ad-free player, which works totally embedded, in the background (even at the beginning) with Car Laucher pro?

edit:

I'm talking about audio player app that can work mainly offline ..like Musicolet.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
Good thing is, it's work on ours HU :)

As a as a beta tester, first impressions:

1. As you notice, it stop playing randomly, and as for me it stop completely, there is nothing i can do but change a station or reload the app. For now it's a main problem.

2. equalizer button, not work

3. the app is in the same volume level as oem app, and for me they both are to quiet. I have hope to get a volume control in this app (it can be done in app like musicolet, so it isn't impossible, i gues)

4. I have notice, that in oem radio app via canbus shows a station frequency preview on instrument cluster (see the video). Is there a way to do the same here?

5. On instrument cluster station preview i've notice also, that radio app volume shows 1 step lower compared to global volume, eg. if on instruments i see volume 2, in the same time on HU displays volume bar in level 3. Maybe it have something to do with point 3 as above.

6. In full screen the app shows 6 remembered stations (quick selection). Now, if i use a split screen, the app shows 4 buttons, and it's ok. But, if i go back to full screen, then i see only 4 buttons instead 6. See seccond video.
[Android Head-Units] zerebede:
Hi There

this happened to me when android auto went from 9.4 to 9.5. After several unsuccessful attempts, because after a few successful connections everything failed again (the bluettooth was connected but the carletter did not detect it), it was only possible to connect via cable. I downgraded the firmware because before everything worked, and guess what?. Anything !!. Then I remembered the several years I spent on the MALAYSK forum and had an epiphany. Never upgrade or downgrade without erasing all data (user included). I know it's really annoying but it has to be (tick checksum and user data). One of the things that alerted me was that without deleting everything, when you change the launcher it duplicates the apps in the application drawer. So now whenever I upgrade or downgrade I delete everything. If you notice the time of the first boot of the device after updating is longer. Now everything works like before including (hey google), which only worked with the wake-up button. Try this because it could very well be the solution to your problem, which was mine too. PEACE
[Android Head-Units] xdsbx:
Today just installed a new Hizpo S3 in my wifes car, this is a Qf001 / Qf003 version. This is a lot faster than a older S4 Qf001 version.

Canbus Ac working, other features like hybrid car monitor and keylesgo ( smartkey) are working. Sound is a bit better.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Great news.

With this new HU,

Firmware version?

MCU version?

Can you inquire if MCU QF03 also works with "old" HU Sx and current QF01 MCU latest release?

And...AC works,brand car\model?

Canbus HU hardware: type\name\model?
[Android Head-Units] Zlatko580:
Didnt tested too much, but I will use it primary in next days.

1. For short time didnt noticed stop in playing.

2. Equalizer button, not work

3.Volume level is good for me.

4. Can bus work for me as on stock app, but it would be better to display station name instead frequency.

5. I have similar problem as marioti described for resizing window.

6. I noticed steering wheel button for changing stations not work.

Anyway thank you very much for this project. 🙂
[Android Head-Units] xdsbx:
I did not updated it, because anything works just great for now..

It is installed in Toyota Prius Plus xw40 2012
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Thanks for your report ;)

Please specify your model, MCU and radio type

1. ok, noted down.

2. I still have to work it

3. ok, noted down.

4. i still have to look at the entire canbus, that will be my last priority

5. NavRadio is not considered a radio app but just a third party app so that could be the reason

6. I'll look at it
[Android Head-Units] tlf55:
So I did the 332211 code and yes the cpu is fluctuating from 600mhz to 1800mhz that means I have to open the unit to see if there’s no thermopad and put it one if needed

I’ll keep this updated thanks
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Thanks for your report. :)

Please specify your model, MCU and radio type

1. ok, test it more so you can report me better

2. I still have to work it

3. ok, good

4. i still have to look at the entire canbus, that will be my last priority but i doubt i can display text...

5. I'll look at it

6. I still have to work on SWC

I can see that your unit show the RDS text and this is great because i could not test it on my unit :D
[Android Head-Units] Zlatko580:
Hizpo S8, MCU is latest 230207 (https://jitu321077708mcu230207.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/mcu.bin), radio is TDA7708.

As of No 4., stock audi radio BNS 5.0 was displaying station name but this unit displaying only frequency in radio. But if I open phone, it displays "PHONE" so its capable of displaying text. :)
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
Unit: S8, MCU QF01 with firmware 0207,

Soft 0508

Radio TDA7708
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
i'm sure the dispay can show the text, but does it show when you run original app?
[Android Head-Units] Zlatko580:
Noupe, only frequency 😕

I sent this question to Hizpo today, we will see what they think about it. Is it canbus decoder related or something else.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
RDS info on the unit I don't think are related to canbus, but to the radio chip tuner.

TDA7708 is able to display them with HU stock radio app, I display them without problems.

Not sure if you ALSO display RDS info on your original little car display via canbus,indeed maybe it's not possible to have (if I understand correctly you have Audi)...the canbus of these units with German cars (I have BMW) doesn't provide many things ...eg. AC climatic control management and more does not work.
[Android Head-Units] Zlatko580:
RDS is okey, working on mine also. I was asking of displaying radio station name on instrument cluster on the car, because stock audi radio has that option, but android display only frequency.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
read my edited post above...

BMW also has the same possibility...but no info in the car display.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Normally all models send to canbus just the frequency as an integer or float value, not text.

Even more if the broadcast to canbus is handled by MCU, there is nothing i can do to change it because I can't modify the MCU code.

Anyway first i'll need to look at the code in the original app to understand how is handled.

We'll see...
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
frequency, and in my case also number of channel (on which i saved the station), and number of FM/AM.

The channel number is only visible for a while after changing the channel
[Android Head-Units] Zlatko580:
Video which they sent is useless... It shows only turning on AF and TA, then autoscan...

Yes I have FM band display also, but no channel number... It can be seen on video which I posted earlier.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Is this info sent via canbus from HU?

Firmware and MCU ?

Canbus decoder (of HU) model?

But,if so, probably on Audi (or at least some models\year) it can happen,and therefore better for you!

With BMW it doesn't seem like that...
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Hizpo technicians are incompetent...I got tired of communicating with them, they never understand what you're asking (or maybe they pretend not to understand) and in the end they don't know how to solve technical problems.

On the other hand, excellent communication with Hizpo compared to commercial stuff, they ALWAYS respond.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
I have yet to try firm. 0508, I still have 0414 (mcu like you of course).

The only thing that differentiates the canbus issue with BMW cars (at least up to firm. 0414):

where you read "CanMcu" version you have the data of the vers. HU hardware canbus, while with BMW I have everything empty... I asked Hizpo the reason, nothing, they can't answer, incompetent technicians as usual!

Maybe this reason makes canbus communication (on some things) not work with BMW.

Does AC Climatic control work with your HU and Audi?

With BMW no,and no info freq. and radio broadcast station (by HU) on the dashboard oem display.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
AC controls are shown in popup, and it work good for me. I have Skoda Superb 2012.

In 0207 SW, i hadn't any info about canbus (in system info screen). In 0328 it was "V1.1".

I don't remember how it was in 0414, but in latest SW it show as you see in my pic.

Have you try to reset a canbus model with onternet connection on?
[Android Head-Units] Zlatko580:
Canbus in my car Audi A3 2009, works for reversing camera, steering wheel controls, and display inside instrument cluster shows some info about HU, if radio is turned on - frequency, if phone, shows phone, aux, media but everyrhing is very minimalistic...

In HU, car settings there is app for canbus settings, maybe you can try to enable a/c, door open or similar it doesnt work on my car, but personaly that not bother me.

I have LZ canbus box, maybe 1.1 version or similar.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Sure...tried everything related to canbus...AC climatic contral doesn't work at all.

Even with previous firmw. and MCU files, same thing, and I've never seen info about vers. canbus on "CanMcu: " summary.

Info is shown correctly in the car-canbus section, see picture (old, with stock HU firmware, no current 0414, but just to understand what I'm talking about.).

Naturally everything else works via canbus... but AC control and radio transmitter info in the oem display on the dashboard don't.

OT:

Do you use Toppal AI?
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
With my car, canbus works for:

auto reverse cam, parking sensors animation (icon with car with colored waves approaching), dynamic steering lines, all buttons on the steering wheel ok, doors open everywhere, show ext. temperature,setup units (C or F) Km or M measurement unit, setup to see in the oem dashboard display the fuel consumption in lt\100km or KM\lt and something else.

It should work (but I don't have) temperature control of the heated seats.

It does not work:

- Nothing inherent AC climatic dual control (for me it would be very important to have this instead) as the HU hides the oem command display (below) and when I have to set the dual control temperatures I can't see the oem display well.

- any info in the oem display on the dashboard (ardio transmitter, etc.) that I could see with the oem BMW radio instead.

- NO infos (directly in the HU) relating to fuel consumption\residual consumption\average speed.

Note:

in the gui of canbus\HU there are also other settings (setup timer for coming and leaving home with the front lights) and more that I don't remember, but I don't want to act on these things, which maybe later ruin the various control units of the car. ..

I also have canbus hardware by LZ and for never auto I have to use this setting... maybe the AC problem here!

For those who have the AC climatic contol WORKING???

- What kind of canbus hardware does it have?

- Model?

- Builder?

- Canbus setting of your car?

1. Any guide on how to install nova launcher/custom launcher? is it from Google play store? or .apk.

2. I cannot connect BT Teathring from my samsung s22 ultra and have internet. I get internet only by connecting to home wi-fi. I want internet on HU to say use google or youtube. I can stream music via Zlink with wire and wirelessly.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
1. Nova launcher is on Google Play store

2. You can connect the unit to your phone via wifi by making a hotspot on your phone. Look for it in your network/connections settings on your phone. I had to force it to 2,4Ghz for it to work. That is no deal for me. I have stable internet for months using the 4G data plan of my phone. No need for BT Tethering.

Seller sent me this.... New 10.33" screen with 1600x720 QLED screen. Thoughts?

He also mentioned they will be on sale June12th....
[Android Head-Units] one_goldern_heart:
Thanks @Clyde72 ; I am aware of hotspot but BT tethering doesn't drain battery.
[Android Head-Units] xdsbx:
I think the next update will bring new features like new launchers and Firmware update over the air.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
No idea as I use hotspot mainly. I misunderstood and thought you were looking for a solution as you only can connect to your home wifi... Only for making occassional calls during longer drives I use BT connection.
[Android Head-Units] Gyovany96:
Personally I wouldn't upgrade the screen to this or even the 2K model. More pixels means more work for the CPU even in stand-by and for a car the original 1280x720p QLED is more than enough in my opinion.
[Android Head-Units] Gyovany96:
Is there a way to change the Speedometer source from GPS to CAN on the homescreen widget? Sometimes due to poor GPS reception it shows fake speed or even ghost speed when the vehicle is stationary.

Or maybe some more Gps tweaks? I've already done the tweaks posted on OP.

I have it marked that it should change with the headlights, only it doesn't work. Once I drove under an overpass the theme changed to dark with the headlights, then when it got dark the headlights turned on and the maps stayed bright. The next day I started after midnight and the maps were dark from the start. The switch to the light theme happened around sunrise time when the headlights were still on.
