I have been reading about this car stereo since CES and cant wait to purchase it. Though I can't find any information on whether the Galaxy Nexus will be compatible with the app. It was announced that the SGIII would receive it but has anyone heard about the G Nex getting it? If not, hopefully the dev community will be able to port it over...Here is a link to the actual stereo...

Why not get this one...

It runs on android is btw.
Double din comes out later this year.
Sent from my Maguro
I considered that one before the Sony one was announced. I like that I would possibly be able to control Rdio on a large screen and it connect to my steering wheel controls (with an added accessory) and not have to fumble with my phone. Plus the option of my passengers being able to watch DVD's and Netflix is pretty cool.
Ya that would be nice for em. As far as the release and the features of the double din I'm not positive but its in the works. I work at a car audio shop and we had a webinar with them and said it was gonna be bahdass. Also the pioneer aporadio 2 has HDMI output and has optional MHL cable for android
... also it would be sick if it were possible to root and develop a custom from for a radio. Seems interesting not sure if source would be available though lol. I know they had updates on there sight but don't remember seeing code. They gotta give us something though
Sent from my Maguro
Ah yeah it would be amazing to have a custom rom on a car stereo.
I just need a stereo that I can control Rdio and a few other music apps from so I can get over not needing/wanting the pogo car dock...
Not sure about the Sony you are talking about since the company I work for doesn't carry it but anything with Bluetooth a2dp is the way to go as far as android goes the USB interface sucks for android devices reads ringtones and pretty much every audio file there is as well as shows every folder you have. Not to mention I can't connect to a single deck through USB because of mtp . So yeah. I would highly recconend actually testing the head unit you are interested in and make sure it works the way you want it to because car audio is pretty depressing when it comes to android compatability
Sent from my Maguro
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I will wait for a local car audio store here in Houston to have one on display first.
Ya that's definitely the way to go about it. like I said car audio hasn't shown android no love... everything is made for apple -.-

Awesome, Houston here too. I have been looking for more info on Mirrorlink as well. I started this thread trying to gather some, but not much headway has been made. I cancelled my EVO 4G LTE because it was not advertised with Mirrorlink compatibility. Waiting for Sprint to get the SIII next month hopefully.
http://www.mp3car.com/android-table...ink-xav601bt-701hd-android-ish-head-unit.html
I am very interested in this myself and since Nokia is the most supported brand I am hoping that we will see some Windows Phone compatibility in the near future. I did think it was pretty funny that all the phones supported except one were Symbian though, I thought Symbian was on the outs.
FYI the XAV-601BT is out now.
But nobody reviewed that device yet
Has anyone tried pairing a mirrorlink enabled phone to the head unit and test it out? Im planning to buy this head unit in the next quarter so i'd like some advices.

HI, just as an alternative, i bought the Alpine ICS X8 with mirror link, as yet it doesnt support my galaxy s3...
The Sony XAV-601BT just received a firmware update (get it at the Sony support site) that adds support for the Galaxy S3. I can't tell you much about it as I have the Nexus. Hopefully some ROM devs start to incorporate MirrorLink into their OS builds. From what I read in another thread, it isn't as easy as just getting the APK from the S3.
im trying to purchase a car stereo that has bluetooth hands free calling and is able to play music streamed from my galaxy note 2.
the salesman said however, that he cant guarantee any of the stereo units would work correctly with the bluetooth 4.0 that the note 2 uses.
...has anyone had any problems connecting to their car stereo, or can recommend a model that will work with the note 2 ?
thanks in advance.
I have a JVC navigation all in one and it works great with it.
It's a 2011 model.
yup, i have a flip screen with bluetooth and it connects perfectly, i have a full system btw, woofer, speekers amp the lot.
thanks guys .. any links for those models if possible?
If you want something literally cheap as chips, try one of these from Halfords.
I know it won't appeal to an audiophile, but if you're the sort of person who's generally happy with the manufacturer supplied head units, one of these would be a more than adequate replacement, and works fine with the Note II.
Regards,
Dave
bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatibility with all the older versions. So it works !!!!!!!!!!! No problem watsoever. The car salesman should get his facts straight or quit the job
Kenwood has problems
I have a DNX7190HD and the Note 2 will not work with the Pandora app at all through bluetooth. It will play Pandora through the Bluetooth menu option of the head unit but you will not get any song list or album art, but pause and play buttons do work.
Kenwood says the phone is not supported and there is no bluetooth software update coming.
Older Android phones work perfectly.

yes , it was something on those lines that my dealer was saying, and therefor couldnt guarantee any of the other makes would work untill he got some feedback.
As far as audio goes, you should be fine, as m4sta2k stated bt4.0 is backwards compatible. I have a Parrot MKi9000 handsfree installed (old one) and everything works, audio and controls. But, maybe on some radios not all the controls are supported (and also, whichever display functions it may have), as it seems that stuff is not 100% standard across all the bt devices, as opposed to audio profiles.
Best thing would be trying the radio on the store before buying it.

To be honest, I've not really noticed or cared much as I'm usually streaming from Spotify and thus have the phone screen on and can see what's playing there.

i agree with you , it connects everything perfectly.
but instead of a track listing on the headunit screen i just see AD2P ... its no big deal but if im missing a button press or something that shows the track info instead i would prefer to see it.
what does yours show when streaming from bluetooth / note 2 ?

Was in the car today.
Like you, it only shows A2DP on the screen and not the track. Tried with both Spotify and Google Music.
My other three BT speaker devices (2 headsets and some speakers) don't have screens so I can't say if it's the headunit or the phone.
Luckily, I don't care!

Refuses to work with my Maxx. It works perfectly fine with my iPad so its got to be the phone...kinda pissing me off.
Anyone else?
Found this on Moto's support site...
Note: At this time, devices that have a microphone input but no microphone output (Square Card Reader, Jawbone UP) are not currently supported.

Apparently the UP isn't working on any of the new Motorola phones - the Maxx, Ultra, Mini, or the Moto X. My wife has a Moto X that won't sync. I'm not sure who to be more mad at - Jawbone or Motorola.
I'd say Moto considering it works just fine on my Razr Maxx HD that I have for work.
this sux. I hope for a fix soon. this is unacceptable on a new device in 2013.
according to my post and subsequent email from Motorola, this is a software issue that is affecting devices that have a microphone output, but no microphone input. Jawbone, Square, PayPal (black stripe reader) all currently do not work.
I'm hoping with root and custom roms, we can fix this before Motorola.
They say a fix is on the way.
Microphone output? What is that?

Usually, devices that plug into the 3.5 mm jack are headphones only, or headphones with a built in mic...
Jawbone UP has an output device but no 'input' device
I'm actually on my 4th up[ replacement. It comes tomorrow and i got my maxx yesterday. This just annoys me further. I know it is not Jawbone's fault, but i might just try and complain and go get a fibit flex or nike fuelband. The jawbone is so flawed as much as i do like it

I guess I am a lucky one, I have had my UP for a while and haven't had an issue.
The Maxx issue is beyond frustrating for me. Hoping they fix it sooner than later!
JAWBONE UP now works with latest OTA
Hey guys on top of all the goodies we get with the Camera update 12.15.15 OTA, the 3.5mm jack is now also active for accepting input via JAWBONE UP. So game on again.
Good news! I'm still waiting on this update.
Finally got around to trying this, and it took FOREVER to transfer the data.
But its better than waiting to get home to my iPad to update it.
Hi everyone,
So it seems that someone yesterday had questions/complaints along the similar lines as mine; however, I just wanted to put this out there so it could be forwarded to the development team as well. I recently purchased a Bebeoncool bluetooth gamepad to use for gaming on my 1-day-old Nextbit Robin but have had no luck. I'm able to get the gamepad to connect and it shows the gamepad icon (as opposed to a keyboard, etc.) but no matter what input setting on the controller I choose I cannot elicit any sort of functionality. I connected the gamepad to my Note7 and it worked perfectly fine--I was able to navigate the screens on my phone and play various games with gamepad support. Any ideas? Perhaps there's a bug that needs to be straightened out.
If you're wondering what I'm referring to in my opening statement, search the Nextbit Robin forums for "Trouble with connecting a bluetooth mouse with a Nextbit Robin. Any tips/suggestions?"
Hopefully this is an issue the dev team can straighten out soon--seems simple enough. I will be [very reluctantly] turning in my Note7 to T-Mobile later this week and want to continue my mobile gaming!
Look forward to pushing my Robin to the limits!
Thanks,
Josh
Same problem here
Hey Josh, any luck about this matter? I have the exact same problem but with an ipega 9025 bluetooth controller. Any sort of hint would be very appreciated :good:
No luck!

Hey raftudela,
So since I made this post, I had a conversation with a Nextbit rep. We all agreed that it was a software issue rather than a hardware issue. Per their last message to me:
"It looks like I received a response from our engineering team sooner than I thought!
They are aware of this issue, but right now it doesn't seem to be a priority in resolving it as we have an extremely high demand for Android 7.0 from our customers. As I mentioned before, it's possible that this will be addressed when we update to 7.0, but maybe not.
Engineering is definitely aware of the issue and will work on it as soon as possible; however, I simply don't have a timeline for when that will happen."
Looks like we are out of luck until the Android 7.0 Nougat update! Even then it seems we are not going to be guaranteed compatibility ; thus, I've just ordered a Pixel XL and moved on with my life. This was kind of the plan for me anyways as the Robin was a cheap phone to use after I turned in my Note 7!
Well, Sh*t
Thanks for your reply, Josh.
Looks like I'll have to do something similar then. It's a shame, I really like the Robin
Cheers mate!
Hey fellas, I've been having this issue also and there are at least 2 confirmed responses of gamepads working on the nougat beta over on the Nextbit forums. I just got the Robin a few weeks ago and haven't flashed any roms yet. Maybe it's working on omni.

Hi, this is making me nuts. I've googled, checked youtube ,the bebencool site and can find nothing. I have a bebencool bluetooth controller that pairs with my Galaxy S8 plus and it finds it and it pairs but will not connect, I get a message saying "can not connect to bluetooth while acting as an input device" . Has anyone encountered this and knows how to fix it maybe? BTW I'm trying to use it with my Samsung Gear VR.
Thanks
Dears,
anybody tried Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit?
I'm actually on Eonon GA2168K - 10" Android 8 Head Unit, it's a good device with minor problems.
Anytime developers fix a problem they introduce an other problem and there's no community support for MTK chipsets.
Because of this I'm evaluating the new Eonon GA2178, that is quite similar but based on Rockchip chipset.
Tks!
Any update on that GA2178 new device? I bought this one as well but have not installed it yet.

I installed this unit (Eonon GA2178) on my Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2019 on last weekend. It's working great, Loudness setting makes the sound awesome.
Cons:
- I don't like the launcher, probably will use FCC Launcher
- I have not figured out how to connect the steering wheel to SWC1 and SWC2. I think I'm missing the decoder box (Axxess or Metra). I'll buy it on amazon and report back if it works.
Feel free to ask any questions on the install.
I used the Metra. Works good. Sometimes it gets confused and doesn't work but 95% of the time it works.

I've got a GA2176 and just purchased a GA2178.
I probably should have asked these questions before I bought the new unit but.
Does this come with google play store installed?
Have they fixed the overheating issues? I saw a review where the screen would flicker in heat over 85 degrees.
Has anyone tried the addon dongle that supports android auto and apple carplay?
Google Play Store was installed from the factory. I had to install multiple other Google Apps (I have a Pixel 3 and use them all).
Live in Georgia and we've had a heck of a summer. No overheating issues.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
I have not tried the adapter.
No reviews as of a week or two ago and the company didn't answer my question about how it works or if it would enable the latest version of Android Auto.
I'm very interested but wanted someone else to be the first to try.

Well, when I talk to customer support I was told it will work with the GA2178 so I ordered it with the head unit. Hopefully I'll have it before the week is out and offer some feedback.
I have not seen a way to root yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
I am running FCC launcher and am getting along fine with it. I hated the stock UI.. it's pretty horrible.
I am very interested in hearing your experience with the adapter. Why we'd have to spend another $60 for it to work like it should is beyond me. However, I really would like to have that feature. Let us know what you find out.

I have a 2010 Dodge Ram and used the PAC RP4-CH11 decoder and the SW switches work very well. You can even program them for short and long pushes. This gives you the ability to control more functions with them.

I received the head unit and carplay/android auto dongle yesterday. I tried the dongle with the old head unit, Eonon 2176 installed and it seems to function just like any other iOS carplay stereo. Once I get the 2178 installed I'll do some more testing and let you know what I find and think.
Sounds great man. Thank you.

I installed my Ga2168 in my Nissan Sentra and I have the dongle as well as usb stick, sd card and front and rear cameras as well as GPS and wifi installed. When I originally got this it ran incredible but the 2x I tried to turn it on it would not. I used the reset whole and it finally turned back on. It ran fine after but then a few days later the same thing it would not turn on. The reset button worked again but I contacted support and they sent me two files to do a complete system reinstall. The problem is not that I reinstalled the os it is so slow everything runs slow to the point I don't want to even use this radio. I will say when I first got the machine it worked fine other than not turning on sometimes. The dongle works perfect with IOS and Android I tested both. I will say I prefer to use my phone as a hotspot and just use the tablet as a giant phone.

One thing I noticed is how these stereos don't like to run well if they are not getting a full 12.8 volts. I left a dash camera on in the parking mode and it ran the battery down to 12.2 volts before shutting off. After that the stereo seem to run slow and was slow to boot. It even had issues with turning on a few times. This was with my old GA 2176 model. I put the battery on a charger and fully charged it and the stereo went back to normal.
edit - of course I go out to my truck this morning and the stereo wont turn on!!! lol the battery is 12.2 volts. I had to use the reset button to get the stereo to start again.
So if you have a weak battery it can cause issues with the stereo.

I don't have an android phone, just a MiPad 4 that I can test with.
I do have an issue with the screen being kind of floppy from side to side. Where it connects to the mount on the main head unit isn't that tight of a fit. I sent an email to Eonon and they want me to make a video of it. I'm going to assume there is nothing they can do about it. I'll probably have to make some sort of a wedge to go between the screen and the head unit.
Mine has a little movement.. not horrible but it would be nice if it was tighter.
Screen isn't very sensitive but I'm used to using my Google Pixel 3 XL.
Seems much more like an old tablet where you had to press hard on the keys to get it to respond.
I am driving an F350 Powerstroke Diesel. It has two 12v batteries so voltage isn't a problem for me.

I got a response from eonon, they told me to tighten the screws. As you can see in the video, all of the mounting screws are tight. I told them as much in the first email.
I then got a second email asking me to please make the video private. I can only assume it's to avoid bad press. Well, that isn't going to happen.

From what I can see it doesn't support the 2178 or 2176 atm. These two HU are rk3326 with 2 mg of memory and the ROMs you link to only support 3368 and 3399 HU with 4 mg of memory.
I just got the GA2178. Has anyone figured out how to unlock developers settings or USB debugging?
