Any way to have it in preview to test it ? :roll: http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2779#article

...Any good news about it?
:roll:
i wish it would be comin out soon
People in the German ppc-welt community forum confirmed that the latest T-Mobile ROM for MDA Pro (version 1.20.34 GER) supports stereo sound with bluetooth headsets!
A2DP!!!
so when can we get this MDA pro ROM? i'll gladly give up my O2 ROM for this functionality...
Does AKU 2 support better Bluetooth HID (any bluetooth mouse)
Or will we still have to get "HackOutside" STowaway drivers before us mortals can have a bluetooth mouse on WM5 ???
Could anyone give me an info on how to use the hermes as a remote control. I was able to use my amazing phone before as such, wanna do the same with hermes but the universal remote via bluetooth can't work in my unit..
Hope someone could help. thanks
There's a commercial app that is supposed to be really good. It's called VITO Remote II or something like that. Google it, there's a trial version I think.
my personal experiences with vito are not good
search for novii remote deluxe! very easy to setup an customizable
use novi remot
hi, novi remote works a treat, you can set up macro's, learn from other remotes ie xbox dvd control, set up a custom "remote" all good.
The bad...well distance is not real great, and novi needs to make your screen turn upside down as the ir port is on the bottom.
hope it helps
google it and you will be ok. or pm me
cheers

Hi All
I have upgraded from tytn 2 to tp2 (voda).
I have transferred my garmin xt memory card, the software works, but the vehicle icon (e.g car) is tiny on the screen.
Seems the TP2 resolution is way better than the Tytns.
This makes seeing things a bit worse and if you use 2d maps over 3d its even worse!
I have the latest version from the garmin website. And i purchased the latest maps.
Thanks
steve

Gens,
probably somebody in the universe already did it but i was investigating about the possibility to connect an external monitor, maybe touch, for car navigation and or multimedia, or general video out purpose.
Why not starting this project sharing the experience of everybody and help me and other with this.
So let starts deciding what is required like
-Required HW like external touch monitors and connections
-Required SW as you like for audio, connections and so on
-every kind you have in mind it should be integrated in order to use our Artemis in car
Every Artemi's cooker is wellcome in order to have their support to develop a dedicated speedly ROM!
_____________________________________________________________________
I wanted to talk about my software and hardware project to share it. I started with a Parrot Asteroid Smart running Android 2.x and when that was disappointing moved on to the Chinese units. I started early on with added circuitry/apps. Now I have a PCB connected to the HU by USB, with an ESP32 and an Arduino Micro. I do software updates to the ESP32 over a Zigbee.
The purpose of all this is to add on HD and XM. For HD I am using the (obsolete) Directed tuner, which connects via a mini-din plug, 12v power, and RCA audio jacks. I also support connection to SiriusXM over a mini-din cable. Unfortunately I am not on the very latest version of XM as the protocol is not publicly known. I'm using a docking station with a Starmate, which is advanced enough to support rewind/replay on the current channel. One could argue this is pointless since XM has an app now, my main arguments are that the app does not have an API and it does have data charges..
I programmed the ESP32 with the NanoFramework o/s in C#. The Arduino's purpose is to emulate an HID keyboard.
Besides the HD and XM I implemented advanced steering wheel button features which are vehicle specific.
I also interfaced a compass module. My code has an anti-jamming feature; if the magnetic field is out of range it switches to gyroscope (6 DOF).
I don't know if I want to open-source this and/or sell it. I could not have developed it without XDA.
The xm app also does not work without a data connection either. On real satellite you can get it anywhere, anytime.
I ran XM for a while with a simple external tuner connected to the head unit's rca inputs. Worked fine and did not need a data connection.

I have my own gui for the tuner. Nothing fancy, and I tune by the steering wheel buttons. It cuts out sometimes on mountain roads. My car came with a satellite antenna. I think the latest xm tuners sound better.
Here's a better picture.
I am trying to upload the screenshot one more time.
I have to Hd radio to play with, the directed version and the zoom one, i wanted to know if there is an gui for android ... car radio or not, like trying them on android platforms ???
thks

Sounds amazing. Any chance you can share with us how exactly you did it. A DIY thread would be very much appreciated

I will happily answer any questions. No time to explain everything, and it depends on the specific HU and car. I could share my pcb schematic and code I'm running on the ESP32, Arduino Micro Pro, and Android HU. The ESP32 code includes interfaces for the Directed HD and Sirius XM plus a Wit- Motion compass sensor, in C# running in NanoFramework. The HU code is one package in C# (Xamarin). Currently I'm not using the steering wheel inputs of the HU, I found the calls for volume control functions. And I am now using Automate instead of Tasker for miscellaneous purposes. I added a db-15 connector to the HU's harness for all my needs. I learned SMD assembly on this project.

I'm not sure if using a single din radio would be technically easier to get SiriusXM but it's significantly big for a sedan dash if there's an existing android head unit. Have you considered modifying one of those portable tuners like an Onyx Plus instead?

Yes actually I'm already doing something like that now. I got tired of the extra radio just for Satellite. Now I have one of the small SiriusXM units in a docking station. It connects to my PCB with a 9-pin mini-din. The nice thing about it is the tuner unit supports replay.

Would you mind sharing some pictures of your setup and a video showing how things work would be really informative

Here's a simplistic block diagram of my setup. Does not show the power connections.

Here is a brief video of my audio sources. My HD tuner is not plugged in today.
This is really cool. I want to replicate what you have for my Joying Android head unit, but I don't have the needed skillset unfortunately. Are you interested in making and selling your interface? You can order a small run from company like https://www.pcbway.com/b (no affiliation, just some company I found on internet). I will buy one from you!

I'd love something like this for my linkswell gen 4. The one thing I really really miss is the HD radio from the oem unit. For sirius xm I've been more than happy with the app. But HD radio is another story and apps like Audacy are garbage and don't have all the HD stations in my area.

For sure I'd pay you for this interface. In the meantime trying to pickup one of those old directed hd car tuners as I have an aux input. Obviously I'd prefer what you're doing, a complete interface controlled by the radio screen, not the controller that comes with these things.

I'm now running a Sirius Commander Touch as the satellite tuner. But I'm stuck on the graphics. I see the PNG data but it's split at about 1000 bytes.
Still running the added functions on an ESP32 but I switched from nanoframework c# to Arduino c++.
Update: now my difficulty is identifying which image goes with which channel.
If anyone is interested I am going to sell the new old stock HD tuner I bought on ebay and the cable I bought from xdamember2. Indeed it works perfectly but I'm getting rid of the radio so I no longer need these parts. I actually had this running on a linkswell gen 4.

Things are mostly working now. Some problem with the jpeg album artwork and jpeg repair tools have been no help.
Hey there! Did you ever happen to get information on the protocol used by the SXV series of sXM tuners? Does the Commander use one of the siriusxm control protocols?
I have an older Sirius Stratus tuner with a lifetime subscription on it that works with mini din 8 / sirius connect control, and my head unit (a newer kenwood android auto thing) has the 10-pin interface.
I've ordered a used SXV100 to experiment with, and to steal the custom cable from, but as you mentioned the protocol, and even the pinout, is proprietary and unpublished, so for the moment i'll be flying blind.
I'm hoping that at least I can identify the pins and will ideally find a +5v power, ground, audio left, right, audio ground, control rx/tx as is there for the old 8pin sirius interface, and that i'll just need to build a translation circuit from sirius connect to sxm control...
