Alternate DAB+ Tuner App For Pumpkin 11-RQ0546? - Android Auto General

Hi Everyone,
I've just brought a Pumpkin 11-RQ0546 with the DAB+ module.
Everything is working fine apart from the fact the bundled DAB tuner app is a dogs breakfast which does not allow you to store and access stations easily.
Is there another DAB tuner app for Android which is compatible with this head unit does anyone know?

fm radio in HTC Legend

Since htc released the kernel source code for the legend why can't we just use that to figure out how the fm radio works?
Maybe because it's a completely different hardware?

As others have said before, the Desire is closer in hardware to the Nexus.
Why bother. You only get "local" stations with all of the audio avertisements. On an N1? What content are you missing out on?
i listen to npr, not pop buzz radio. i don't get commercials
and for people in the UK, radio is still quite popular
The FM radio on my TP2 worked perfectly inside my office building, but internet is so slow in here that internet radio is extremely hard to listen to it.

NPR? You're kidding, right?
Listening to them makes me want to nuke a gay whale for Jesus. And I am all for happy, healthy, prosperous whales, gays and Jesus freaks.
I personally would like to see if someone can port the ability to use it as an FM transceiver. It would be convenient to transmit my audio to an FM station as an alternative to Bluetooth audio since not all car radios support Bluetooth audio.

The OP was suggesting the use of the FM RECEIVER that is know to exist on the board. The Nexus One does not have a FM TRANSMITTER.

Really now? Seems you need to do some more reading.
Here's the first reveal:
1) engadget.com/2010/01/06/nexus-one-teardown-reveals-possible-802-11n-radio-and-fm-transmi/
Here's the chip itself so you can read the numbers off the back of it:
2) i39.tinypic.com/nywxl0.jpg
3) And then here's the datasheet on the chip:
pdf.eccn.com/pdfs/Datasheets/Broadcom/BCM4329.pdf
Straight from Broadcom's product brief on the BCM4329:
SINGLE-CHIP 802.11n/BLUETOOTH®/FM (Rx AND Tx)
The Broadcom® BCM4329 family of single chip devices provide the optimum integration of IEEE 802.11™ a/b/g and 802.11n (MAC/ baseband/radio) handheld device classes, Bluetooth® 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), and FM Radio receiver and transmitter features in mobile and handheld Wireless systems.

4) Here's an excerpt from the bottom with the crucial info:
i39.tinypic.com/30t5qjd.jpg
As for the OP's question. Time will tell.
Thanks for pointing that out. Wish I knew code well enough to implement that. I would be willing to donate money to someone who can.

(Q) fm transmitter cm 6.1

now that theres fm radio, on the nexus on the new cm 6.1 and other roms would it be possible to have a fm transmitter? like the one where it plays your music thru the fm in the car or something. if this is possible that would be amazing.
No, it's not supported in the hardware.
wow that really sucks , anyways thanks for the reply
Wrong, the hardware is there.
There is however, no drivers for the chipset on any device to reverse engineer or port or even look at.
Ask cyanogen, maybe he will fix your nexus one.
Code is in the framework. Could work if we added it to FM app

I really doubt the transmitter is hooked up, regardless of software it wont work. If it was a working transmitter the Desire would have probably had it with the FM application/kernel.
But we could sit here and speculate all we want, the fact is nobody knows for sure.

There's nothing that needs to be hooked up. The FM portion of the wifi/bluetooth/fm all use the same antenna for reception/broadcasting.
FM transmission on devices require alot more legal entanglements that companies don't want to deal with.
The chip onboard is an all in one, it's there, it just needs software.
i doubt the shortness of the waves will cause any legal disputes if so we would have issues with all these kids that USE to walk around with walkie talkies all the time

yeah, so you do realize that there's a lot of different frequencies for devices, right? Your "walkie talkies" were likely 38mhz or maybe 43mhz. Not a commercial frequency band.

Actually, the FM transmitters that popped up for the early iPods and several other MP3 players were originally illegal to use in many countries since they operated on frequencies that were considered protected or where you needed to register as a broadcaster to be allowed to transmit. This has however now been relaxed in several countries as long as the transmission strength is kept low enough to not interfere noticable with other people's devices.

[Q] HTC One Remote Controller function

So, we've heard and seen about the IR and remote controller function, but I didn't exactly understand it. Is it going to work with only smart TVs? I mean can we just use it as a normal, universal remote controller?

I don't think it is a small feature. That means that with the Right soft (understand app) you can virtually have the equivalent to a harmony universal remote control to master all your IR devices such as TV bluray home theater. I have an harmony and its awesome. Getting old though.

Already tested it and it works fine.
For most devices there are preconfigired setups. If your device is not listed, you can "teach" the phone by holding original remote to the power button and by pressing any button on remote.
Sadly the set of buttons is limited (only most common buttons available)

Have to say i'm quite impressed with it, i thought it was just a bit gimmicky but after trying it out it's quite good.
My 8 year old son was very impressed with it...."woah mum, dad's phone can turn the TV over!"......the wife wasn't impressed at all :laugh:
Can't wait to get back to work in a few weeks and start p***ing the lads in the canteen off by turning the TV over!
Great thing is, that SGS4 also have IR sensor.
So we can expect some nice apps in near future and another devices with such functionality.
Back to the roots, earlier each phone had IR (ok not same like now)
Oh my. This feature is epic.
For Virgin Media users dont select your cable box as Tivo, it doesn't work select Virgin Media in the option.
Its Epic. EPIC EPIC.
I can't get it to work with my Sharp tv. The auto setup fails and when I try to get it to learn from my existing remote it will learn some buttons but not others. So I can mute the tv, but not unmute it. None of the numbers work, but the volume controls do.
Has anyone got any ideas? Would be awesome to get it all up and running.

Can a Chinese Android MTCB or MTCD be reliable with core features

The only features I really care about are AM/FM radio, Bluetooth phone, Bluetooth Audio streaming, and a working map system with reasonably good sound quality. I want it to be a system that looks like a factory install in my BMW e46 with working steering wheel controls. Really the rest of it is really just fluff to me.
Are either of the MTCB or MTCD units to the point that can be reliable?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Mine is a Joying - MTCD - for a Jeep
AM/FM is normally something people have a problem with. I dont use that, so no biggie for me.
Bluetooth phone - fine for me, but it does route all the audio to one speaker, so it sounds a little weird, people say they hear me fine though. One annoying thing - the app takes over the screen while in use. So while you are on a call you cannot multi-task
Bluetooth Audio - works fine, steering wheel controls even work as intended. Interface is boring, but def works fine
Map system - I use Google Maps, so it works great, sometimes it lags, but that depends on what else I'm doing. I am going to try an actual navigation app with the GPS sd card adn see how that goes
Sound quality for me is vastly improved over stock. But stock was pretty much crap.
Mine is a Jeep specific unit, and it looks factory. Everyone who has seen it thought it was the factory until I started it up. One guy thought I just tweaked the factory radio, didn't realize it was an entirely different unit.
Let me ask this, what do you listen to via Bluetooth Audio?

You made the right choice. I also have an E46 and installed a MTCB unit approx a year ago and it works well. I have issue with FM but that was a problem with the original BMW Headunit too so suspect my issue is with the antenna or antenna amp. Bluetooth music streaming works well and phone hands free works fine if you install an external mic. The only downside with these units is the memory size. It's partitioned and on the MTCB units, there is only 1GB reserved for apps and 12GB wasted as storage (which hardly any apps can use). I think this has improved on MTCB (2GB instead of 1GB) but you may need to be selective on what apps you install. Let me know if you have any issues and I'll share my experience with you... welcome to the club!!!
So, unlike the Gen1 Kindle Fire, I'm guessing one can't get into the guts and repartition for more app space?
I'm still trying to figure out what 2Din HU to put in my '04 Ram. This side of the fence is more confusing that the phone sections and it's frustrating that a 2Din box has fewer features and less power than a phablet.

it really takes a lot of searching. Read all you can about what you are looking for here on XDA, try to search for it on Reddit, and even look at the resellers forum like Joying or AutoPumpkin or RoadNavi.com
First decide if you want a Universal unit or a unit specific for your car.
I drive a Jeep Wrangler, and it is not a true Double Din, so I wanted the easiest install as possible. So I chose a Jeep specific unit. That lowers the number of options. Then for my year and model, that limited it down to about RoadNavi.com, Joying, Owince, or AutoPumpkin.
I liked Eonon, but they said they couldn't verify if it would work for my model year, 2016.
So I read a ton on here and their forums, and it seemed like people had more problems with Auto Pumpkin and Owince than they did with RoadNavi or Joying.
Seems like Joying has the most users on here and various forums. So I looked into them heavily. And they were on Amazon, and it was Prime, so I figured if something went wrong, Amazon would help me out.
And even then, it is kind of a crap shoot. I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler, I got a MTCD Android 5.1 Joying for Jeep, works perfect, couldn't be happier.
my brother in law got the exact same unit, for his 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Except he has the Premium audio package. His we can't get to work right yet.
And know what you want out of it. About 90% of the time, all I use is Spotify and some type of GPS. I switch between Google Maps, Waze, Here WeGo, and iGo. so for me, it is perfect. If you want to use 20 different apps and add ons, things might not go so smoothly.

I tend to try to run things past their mfgr's intended limits; modify them if I can or need to. Right now I'm sick of the not-quite-2DIN stock unit. Yes, I have the "premium" infinity audio. Been reading on that and don't want to rip it all out in favor of amps and such that I don't have room for, but in the same sentence will I be able to hook up the droid to the existing hardware. My P.E. skills may not be up to the task as what I think should work is not always the way things go. It seems easy looking at the wiring charts in the truck manual. Getting the output levels of the HU to match what the factory amp expects could be a challenge.
I guess what I really want from it is: Navigation (Waze), Pandora, AM/FM (AM not critical but would like it), VLC/MX Player, external USB storage, custom ROM, tether to hotspot or phone is a must. It's unlikely I'll try to do email or social media on it. Would love to have a 10" model, but my dash has a 'visor' above half the radio cutout that would probably interfere so I'm looking into 7" universal double DIN units.

Sorry, but you mean on a Jeep Wrangler?
Well good news is, based on my multiple posts on Jeep Forum, it looks like if you get the Joying Jeep unit and use the side marked "AMP"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That "AMP" side did not work with the premium Alpine system, but multiple people onJeepForum.com said it works perfectly with the Infiniti system.
I did eventually get it to work with the Alpine system, but I had to use a Joying universal harness and a PAC module and splice them together
Now if you wanted a 7 inch or 10 inch system they would probably work the same way. Just get the universal Joying harness that should come with the 7 inch or 10.1 inch. Then get a PAC or iDataLink or whatever and splice as needed
That is more labor intensive of course. If you can live with the smaller screen of the Jeep specific unit, it should be just plug and play.
And I use Waze and my phones Hotspot all the time
Also Pandora

Android Auto/CarHome Ultra

I like Android Auto on my 2018 Hyudnai SFSAWD. However, I have another app on my Note 8 (not Rooted) that is called CarHome Ultra and have used it for years. It is much cleaner and has many more options that just Android Auto.
My question is there anyone who is familiar with CarHome Ultra and knows of a way to display/use that when in Android Auto?
My Note 8 is big, but the Display on the car is much bigger and better for driving.
CarHome is on Google Play and has so many options.
Here is a video on the apk and what it does. Much cleaner and more capability than just Android Auto.
Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

I guess it is Mirror Link application. It's different (than AA) standard that need to be supported by your car audio and your smartphone.
The apps have to use valid certificates and then Mirror Link can be used with CarHome app.

Thanks for your info. I guess there is no way for this to happen. I would really like to see something like this incorporated into AA. So much functionality.
In case it is a standalone car dashboard application, you can use AA Mirror to mirror it to your Android Auto head unit.
Download will try later and let everyone know.
Tried this apk today in the WiFi and USB modes to no success. See Attch. The apk works on my phone but only has options for:
1. Mirror to PC
2. Mirror to Phone
I do require some clarification. What do you mean by:
1. Standalone car dashboard app? (I assume that CarHome Ultra is that since I can use that in my car(s) and get all functionality on the Note 8 screen.)
2. Android Auto head unit? ( I assume that is my Hyundai AV Display on my dash.)
Thanks for your time and info. I do appreciate it greatly.
Please check this link to get an idea of mirroring your screen to your AndroidAuto head unit:

Please check this thread for a simplified guide to set it up:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GolfGTI/comments/9f07de/howto_mirror_your_phone_screen_with_android_auto/
It is fairly simple to get it running and you should be able to view(mirror) and control the CarHome Ultra app from your phone to your car display (provided it supports Android Auto).

Thank you very much for the help and info you have provided. I'm sure others will also find this very valuable.
I do have a Note 8, not rooted. My 2018 Hyundai SF Sports AWD does have Android Auto and it is really great.
The only thing that I don't like about the Hyundai AA is that it does not indicate Speed, Compass, and is somewhat limited on the apps that you can use in AA.
I would have assumed that if AA was running Android it would have allowed all Android APKs to be run just like a phone. JMHO!
However, I do understand that their are limitations on all software. If only CarHome Ultra was certified to run on AA, that would really solve the problem. I did write CarHome Ultra Support and asked if they could do something to make this app compatible with AA. Still have not heard back from them.
Again, Thank you for all the help and info. People like you make this forum a valuable asset to all who visit this site.
You're welcome, my friend.
Sadly, Android Auto has very limited capabilities and many, many restrictions with regard to its usage and modifications at this point. Please note that Android Auto is not the same as Android. If your car unit supports only AA, your experience will be very limited. However, there are many members who are trying to make the best of it and developing new ways of tweaking it (AA Mirror mentioned above is an example).
IMHO, you're better off with a head unit that has its own processor and runs complete Android by itself. The possibilities with these head units are endless as they feature a complete Android environment unlike Android Auto.
Hope you have a great weekend.

There are many available online. You can also ask your local car accessories shop. Its better to invest in something with good specs though it might be a little pricey.
Let me know if you need any further help.

Totally confused with your reply. Don't know what a local car accessories shop can provide with me trying to mirror CarHome on my AA. I just think that AA is good, but very limited in using Android Apks unless you are looking for all the news Apks. JMHO!
I do say Thank you! You really try to help. I greatly appreciate it.

Still have not found a solution since I do not want to ROOT my phone. What head unit has its own processor and runs complete Android by itself?
Thank you again my friend for your time and help!!!!

You asked which head unit runs Android by itself. My answer was for that.
If you want to run APKs or mirror your screen to your head unit, you will have to root your phone, I guess.
