I think that has to do with the can bus decoder from your navi. I own a Vw-group car and cannot see anymore the song names / radio station names in the "red screen" (fis) of my car.
I think more/less info can be seen depending on what car you have. No additional application to solve this, afaik
Its handled by the MCU which interfaces with the CAN Bus system, but support is very limited, you have a Mazda 3 ? Not sure its supported.
yeah have a mazda 6 2009, hmm wish there was a way
Have you tried all CAN Bus options in factory settings ? Including non mazda ones ?
you mean the different vehicles manufacturers?, i have tried all the ones with mazda but then there is no where to modify what comes on the MDU
I know, I was just suggesting you try them all in case one worked better. You could try and modify the app somehow so it shows something different, but that would require some coding knowledge, theres more info in the original thread about which app and stuff (its the same app for all cars and it appears or disappears depending on what vehicle manufactuer you have chosen in factory settings/CAN Bus) and youd have to spend some time searching the thread to find it.
ive tried decompliling the radio apk and looking into it but cannot find anything
I guess youd have to know what code to look for and what code the car uses as well.
do you know anyone who could have a look?
Not really, you could try other XDA members in the MTCB section, like @agentdr8. Try googling it, I ve deffo seen something on youtube about setting the clock on the Mazda 3 with MTCB headunits.
I had an EONON radio in my mazda 3 2008 it had an canbus interface, and the mdu display got new text modes messages beceause of that ?? cant recall where i saw the mdu protocol decoded and explained.

There are no EONON radios, EONON are only sellers, what unit was it ?
You mean MCU protocol or CAN Bus protocol for Mazda 3 ? I think you mean MCU protocol - its been decoded and was posted on XDA a few years back.
it was the d5151 i think, it was an windows ce based radio, it had the canbus adapter option, and a direct fit to the mazda dash, the only problem was the bottom snaps were not strong enough to retain the radio firmly to the dash center panel, when hitting road bumps, the radio simply unsnap himself, there was only 2 top screws ???
It added new displayed settings in the mazda car display. But i sold the car 1 month later, have'nt tried all the options.

Right, I see what you mean. Sounds like having one would be useful to see how the code works.
here for a start, just found out :

this one explain the protocol
http://www.madox.net/blog/projects/mazda-can-bus/comment-page-1/
have fun reading
Does your head unit have a two-way CAN bus? This would be the +/- CAN wires going into the actual unit as opposed to just the decoder module. If it's like the CAN SWC, it may need these to send data to the vehicle. Of course, this is assuming the radio app even communicates song info to the CAN app, which I would be surprised if it did.

Has anyone checked if topaz has tv out?
I've been going through the registry today, found an interesting "FacebookDisable" key, and also some interesting stuff for TV Out...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507995
And now, I've just found this...
HKLM > Drivers > BuiltIn > TVOUT
I could be wrong, but this tells me that
a) The D2 can support TV Out in some way shape size or form.
b) If it doesn't work straight out of the box, some reg tweaks and maybe a cab port from the Rhodium should sort it.
I found this on pocketnow.com

Going by the footnote at the bottom of the page saying that the HD/Diamond don't work as they have no TV out functionality built in, just like the diamond 2. I'd guess that it then.
I'm not quite sure there is no sort of TV-Out.
I mean, i use My Mobiler to control my TD2 with my pc, so there is a way to export image from the TD2.
But maybe it is another technique...
any news?...

So as I see It doesn't work right?
Well Yes Because basically Topaz needs a TV out small hardware,And this handy doesn't have one. I dont know why but they were not going to have one in Pro 2 as well but it seems they've changed their minds.
Now there are TV out cable available for Pro 2 even in HTC official website. But when there is nothing for Topaz it already shows we have to forget it.
I don't know if we could make or buy some TV out external hardware ourselves?we easily can connect it to the phone if there is any ?

or still not
pls"update" if it does

Description Screen21
nueTVOut allows you to force TV output to be on, and allows use of the TV Out control panel even if you do not have an original HTC Video out cable.
To use the TV Out, you’ll need the audio dongle (rectangular block) that came with the phone, as well as a camcorder/iPod video cable. Plug the camcorder/iPod video cable into the dongle, and plug the dongle into your phone. Open the control panel, enable the video output and select the correct standard (NTSC for United States/Canada), and press ok. If there is no video output, try switching the outputs until you get a signal (for me, the video was on the red right audio RCA, instead of the yellow video RCA). If you don’t get any video, most likely you have a cable for an mp3 player that has the ground connected to the wrong pin. Camcorder/iPod video cables work best.
Have you tryed switching the outputs?
Is there anybody who could export HKLM registers from HTC TOUCH PRO for comparing with the HTC Touch Diamond 2?
its work in htc diamond 1 ?
please tall me.
doesnt work with Diamond 2
I have the original cable which I purchased for the TouchPro. It doesnt work with the Topaz:-( I managed to get only audio.
I queried HTC about the TV Out issue and got this reply:
"Thanks for contacting HTC.
With regards of your query, while its essentially the same hardware in the Diamond2 and Pro, and TV out is a function of the Qualcomm chipset, not all of the pins connecting to the chipset may be connected through to the extUSB port in the same way.
Please kindly wait for the WM 6.5 (which will release within 3 weeks) to see if the TV out cable is there."
I am a bit pessimistic. Anyhow, let's wait and see.

this says compatible with pure
any news on this? WM 6.5 is out...

I wonder why different?
I was playing with Groovefish last week (while it was still working) and realized that I really enjoyed searching for music by text (artist name, title, etc) instead of trying to sift through my lists of mp3s stored on the device.
It got me thinking- why aren't there any good music players out there that with a text search option?
I'm picturing it working on some sort of index, similar to the way you can type a contact name or subject/sender in messaging, and it will narrow down the list of options as you type in real-time.
For devices with keyboards, this would be an invaluable tool. Does something like this exist and I've just missed it? If not, how hard would it be to implement?
yes there is actually
I wrote such a program a (very long) while ago. A small part of it's interface is in hebrew but basically it is icon based. Also, it is written for QVGA devices and i don't know how it will run on WM 6.5 and later.
It is meant to be finger friendly and easy to operate while driving, that's why i chose to implement this kind of input method.
I stopped development in the middle of making a new, WVGA compatible version with a whole new interface based on ALPINE's car audio system and haven't continued since.

The search box is next to the magnifying glass icon and it updates the list in real-time.
You can download it here:

If you have any questions, hit the "i" button - my e-mail address is written there.
There's an awesome one called Windows Media Player. It comes with your device. You start typing and it filters
yeah- try using those tiny icons on a wvga display while driving, blue.
WMP is pretty terrible to use without a stylus, although it will sort through a list of titles as you type, now that you point it out. The problem, aside for the lack of finger friendliness, is that the search is only in the category u select.
In other words, I have to first click artist if I'm searching for an artist, or album if I want the album name. What I love about searching with groovefish is that I can type any part of the name, artist, album, etc, and it will find it on a whim. Being able to do that locally in real time would be extremely useful, especially with some nice big icons to click.
Gorel, my hebrew is a bit weak, but I can fake my way through it. Too bad you stopped development... theres really nothing else out there like this?
I'm sorry, not that i know of.
I may get back to deveploment now that i have my hd2 but it is very time consuming and it is very low on my priority list (i am not a pro)...
I think it is best if one of the developers here would incorporate this feature into his own software - it basically a simple sql query and shouldn't be too hard for a pro to implement.
edit: I just thought of something, assuming you have an hd2, you could use the zoom feature to make the program appear full screen!
Let me see... where did I put that hd2...
Hi All,
My Peugot's built-in radio/CD player has broken, and I just want to interface my phone and the car's speakers. I understand I'll need some sort of amplifier at some point along the chain.
Apparently this is a strange request, but I want to listen to content off of my Atrix in my car through the car's speakers, and I would rather use the phone's excellent touch screen interface rather than a head unit with a load of crappy push buttons and knobs etc.
I could maybe cope with a volume knob... but that's not essential.
Basically, something like this but for non-iPhones and therefore not costing £200:

I had a look in Halfords and the conversation with the Sales Nerd went a bit like this when he showed me what he thought I wanted:
Me: What is it?
Sales Nerd: It's got a CD changer!
Me: A CD changer... a CD changer? I don't even own *a* CD, let alone many CD's that would necessitate an entire changer. What am I gonna do with a CD changer? Are you mental?
Click to expand...

So, I don't own any CD's (nor - FSM forbid - any tapes), I don't carry small USB pendrives with MP3s on them around with me, I don't listen to radio, I do take all my media/GPS/calls through my phone: are there any "head units" with nothing but an amp and a 3.5mm jack input ("aux") or A2DP? Surely this should be cheaper for Kenwood etc. to make?
I remember this thread where the OP configured his jeep to use a Nook Color as a multimedia interface and used an active EQ connected to the amps.
craigbru said:
In addition to the Nook, I'm adding a Hifonics HFEQ. This will allow me fine control over the signal being sent to the amps. I can switch between inputs and use it as the main volume control.

at the mo i use the Moto cardock and a tape2phono adap to connect up in my van (Wires everywhere ). But amp could be pain in the butt if your not fond of wiring. For not much more money and probablly less hassel than that amp u can get a new headunit with builtin inputs Phono/usb/bluetooth that your phone could jack upto. My old Pug (306gti6) was Standard iso connectors so headunit would be straight swap. Also my old headunit had rear phono connector so all wiring was behind the dash and phone would charge via the dock,
If you wanted to be posh you can connect via bluetooth and control you phone via your headunit and you phone goes into the headunit. But never used this method yet.

Hope this helps a lil
You need a head unit that can stream music from your phone or media device via blue tooth or via USB connection
I'm interested in adding buttons to my dash to interface with the buttons available for mapping in the steering wheel map like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...eral/meaning-screen-buttons-learning-t3265046
I'm just starting my investigation into how this works. Does anyone know how the physical buttons work with the head unit? I saw that at one point carjoying had an external pcb with buttons available, but it looks out of stock or off the market so I can't get one and play with it.

My vehicle uses a pair of resistive lines from the steering wheel to the headunit. It sets up varying voltages between 0-3.3v inside the HU that the MCU's ADC uses to determine which button was pressed. The radio ask the user to either push the HW button then the onscreen button (or they can do it vice-versa) to map the HW button with a HU function.
I did get the button PCB and did some development with it but its values are different than my vehicle's so I made my own switch board with exact values (some wire, 8 pushbuttons, 8 resistors and a PPH pcb). I then developed my own HW interface box and wrote software for it that will allow me to access more JYHU functions with my existing buttons (about 10 functions with 5 buttons). Getting the 8-button SWC for my vehicle is 200USD so I just made my existing ones multifunctional. I was trying to get the SEEK+/SEEK- function mapped but the radio only activates that feature by touching the buttons on the radio app. So I will have to write a tasker routine to simulate button press of radio app SEEK+/SEEK- and activate that with a button press (I'll save that for later). I will install it next week.
I will probably share the HW design but the user will have to write their own software as it is very specific to the radio and steering wheel control. I am not going to develop software that can learn any vehicle and/or any radio...don't have time. I am sure this could be done in pure SW inside the Joying radio if someone hacked the MCU but I did this pretty cheaply (as low as 10USD up to 30USD at most).

That's really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to post. Clearly, you have done a lot of work.
I'm still poking around. I cam across a nice device that can map resistive buttons to HID output.
http://www.amazon.com/Joycon-EXR-Steering-Interface-Accessories/dp/B00CHXAV1Q
The company also makes one that can scan and map can bus messages to buttons (cool). So when I saw this I wondered if it might be possible to use HID keyboard key presses to map to the button software. If that was possible I think it could offer some universal solutions and make it easier to bench test since you could just use a USB keyboard. In other words if it were possible to use HID for the buttons on the HU then one could use one of these devices to map any car buttons or keyboard or any combination of devices that could end up sending HID output. That could be wireless also. A person could easily add remote control.
If mapping to keys isn't possible then I'm probably just going to do like you and add some buttons with resisters on the line.
Thanks again.
I was not able to map my HID keyboard's key to the JYHU's menu buttons. It seems it is expecting a signal on the resistive pair lines. The HID input and resistive line inputs work independently (my HID's media keys work but they are pre-coded to do one thing). YMMV.
Android audio control
Controller has two wires key1 and key2 and gnd the problem I'm having is grounding the audio controller do I ground it to factory harness gnd or android head unit gnd
So I'm having an issue with my Nord 2. I'm a gym rat and I use Poweramp. I have a ton of phones and the Nord 2 is the only phone that gives me this issue. And it doesn't matter which bluetooth headphones I'm using, this problem happens to them ALL. The issue I'm having is this...
When I'm listening to music (again, I use Poweramp, i haven't tested with any other music apps) I can pause the music by tapping the earbud. But if I wait more than about 5 seconds to tap the earbud to restart the music, the Nord kills my ability to restart it by tapping the earbud. The only way I can restart the music is to pull my phone out of my pocket and unlock the screen and go into PowerAmp and press play. I will add, once I go back into the app I can also start the music again by tapping on the earbud. So essentially, in order to use all the touch controls of my earbuds, the screen has to be on AND the music app must actually be open on the screen. I initally thought that the Nord 2 was battery saving and killing the ability to do use earbud controlls somehow but i will add that even if the screen NEVER turns off and I minimize PowerAmp and start another app, I cannot get PowerAmp to start the music back up unless it is actually open on the screen. I have already disabled all battery saving settings for PowerAmp and I also locked the app open in the recent apps menu. I have allowed it to run without restrictions in the battery saving menu but this hasn't solved the problem.
I'm totally stumped. Does anyone else have this issue and know how to fix this? Could the Nord 2 be killing some kind of bluetooth service that is required to use bluetooth audio controls that has nothing to do with PowerAmp?
Sounds like global power management is active.
Developer options>standby apps
All buckets should show as active and their state unchangeable. If not, global power management is active. Disable it.
I have a Samsung so not sure where and what it's called on that device. It's a Google Android based concept. I use Poweramp as well and it will kill Poweramp 2-3 minutes after I turn the screen off. Once disabled it will play indefinitely.

I think bluetooth is seriously borked on this phone. Bluetooth avrcp profile doesn't work properly and this might be related to OP problems.
There are other bt issues. I have to restart my phone every few days because phone just stops connecting to any bt devices when the screen is off.

After some googling, I believe you are correct. Definitely seems related to AVRCP profiles. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any fix ATM. Maybe an update to Android 12 on this phone will fix the issue.

Android 12? More than likely it will break more than it fixes... make sure you can roll it back if needed.
Roll back? On this device? Even a roll forward (once rooted) is an extreme pain in A**.
