Hello, I will try to explain the best possible.
I want open the garage door using my Android Radio installed on my car without any device installed on the garage door.
All I see are devices that are installed next to the garage door and through an application connects to this device and opens the door.
I would like to be able to install this device directly in my car, which has powerful antennas and can be powered by usb, to install it hidden inside the car connected to the android radio.
Any idea?, thanks!

Hello,
I like your idea. How about this device: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/201...lgo_pvid=3444855f-2c57-40cf-81bd-afcaac958d1e
If you fit it in your garage your should be able to control it from your car. If your garage door opens with 433MHz it may work. I would like to do the same, but my garage uses 868MHz and rolling codes so I dont think it will work for me. Too bad.

That device I see that it is a receiver 433mhz, not an emitter, which should be installed next to the garage and welding two cables (if I am not mistaken).
Regrettably if your door code is variable, you need to make a cable installation next to the opener (you can see this video for know how Install on your garage, mute the video if you don't understand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XYTUuW-WVs ).
Android device have no way to do it,you can try to use a Raspberry pi with bluetooth(try to replace door controller with Raspberry pi)
I am a chinese so that english have a bit of worng .needn't mind it

Yes I think you are right. In my case the manufacturer of my garage door motor is a french company called Somfy and they do sell a WiFi to RF converter, but it cost USD 240 which I think is too expensive. https://www.somfysystems.com/products/controls/mylink

Kurt Lund
I also have a Somfy garage door opener.
I installed a garage door opener very simply on my motorbike. I got a "1 Channel AC DC 12V RF Wireless Remote Control Switch Receiver +Transmitter 1 CH" from ebay.
Connected the receiver part across the key switch contact on my Somfy door controller, powered it from a mains to 12v adapter, removed the battery from the remote control, and wired it in series with one of the direction indicator bulbs on the bike.
To open/close the door, all I had to do was briefly turn on the direction indicators on the motorbike, and as if by magic, the garage door opened!!

What would you gain? You press the screen button on the android head unit to open the door. How is that different than pressing a physical button?
If there is a geek factor in it for you then maybe check this one wire usb adapter:

It's simple comfort, but I'll give you some examples that may make you change your mind.
1- The remote control is stored, you need to stop the vehicle to find it.
2- You must keep the button pressed, and many times the door does not open and you must play with the position of the remote control.
3- You can run out of batteries, in this case if you do not have spare batteries in the car, you will not be able to enter or leave the garage unless you have another method until you change the batteries.
I also thought of installing a good antenna so that I could open it early enough and quickly.
Using a shortcut on the home screen of my android radio would be a simple touch of the screen without having to distract or stop the vehicle, saving time and effort.

Well, the amount of time required to get something working on android is greater than the time it takes to purchase batteries and store backups in the car. Several cars have built in garage door opening functionality that you can program. You can very easily take a remote and wire it to a new button you can mount in your dash. Plenty of after market remotes that include a visor clip. Old skool radio works better on doors, but if you just gotta have something else look at the available options like:

I do think this is an old problem. There are now several garage door openers with google home integration. An "OK Google, open the garage door" should work with them through your android auto.
This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.de/meross-Garage...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

This is how I have been doing it for a couple of years. I can use either an OK Google command or a shortcut on my Android Auto launcher. More recently (only in the last couple of days), I've set up a couple of Macrodroid macros to automatically open or close the garage door when I am connected to my car's bluetooth and I cross over a boundary 300m from my house.
I use the phone app to call one of my family members to open and close the door. It's a low cost option.
I've automated my garage door a couple of years ago and I did not had even a single issue until a couple of months ago. My garage door was not opening at first, then it was blocked at all. I was trying to it on my own but I am not an engineer, so I called a local specialist but as far as I know he was in vacation, so I've called a friend of mine who's barking locksmith. The guy really know his job and he was working with smart locks for a while so he fixed this issue of mine in a couple of minutes

Hi
I want to use my XDA2i as a handheld Satnav device. The obvious GPS receiver to buy would be the GlobalSat SD-502 SDIO GPS Receiver. However there seems to be issues around using them together.
What are the issues and can they be overcome?
Another option is to use a CF GPS Receiver connected by a backpack (which I have) The only trouble being that the CF slot comes out of the bottom of the device.
What is it that the SD-502 doen't like about the XDA2i. I assume it is something to do with the phone??? Is it possible to disable the phone ( I don't use the phaone as I have an XDA mini S
Help....
Simon
Why not BT?
I wouldn't bother with a plug-in GPS unit. They increase the battery drain and the XDA2i doesn't have a great battery life to start with.
I use a BT GPS unit (TomTom GPSII) and it works very well. I also use it with other devices (an AXIM X51v and Nokia 6620).
BT GPS units are small, battery life is very good - I get 8 hours out of the TTGPSII.
Regarding the phone- that 's another issue. You need to disable 'flight mode' to enable BT. This turns the 'phone on - but if you don't have a SIM in nothing much happens. To disable the 'phone - turn on 'flight mode'
Phil
I've used Tom Tom 5 v5.21 and a BT338 Bluetooth GPS unit just fine
HANDHELD Satnav
Thanks for both your replies
However both the products you talk about are really designed to sit on the dash of your car. The reason I want to use the SD-502 is that it makes the PDA into a standalone Satnav device. I want to use this out of the car, whilst walking, biking etc.
It seems mad that I could use the SD-502 with a PDA running the same OS as the XDA2i but can't because of the phone part of the XDA2i. (I don't use the XDA2i as a phone as I have a XDA mini S) I can't believe that simply disabling the phone (flight mode) would work. But would it be possible to reload the OS without the phone part.
Anyone have experience of this??

Hi,
As far as I am aware it is not possible to get rid of the phone stuff off the phone, but I may be mistaken, however what several of my colleagues do who want to use a hand held sat nav like you describe is get a bluetooth GPS receiver with the SirfIII chipset and either wear it around their neck using the cord they get with their work ID or just stick it in their pocket and forget about it.
One of them is off this weekend on a camping and hiking trip and plans to use his XDA IIi and Holux BT231 to find his way around. I can't remember the exact Sat Nav software he is using though.

Thanks gquipster
"get a bluetooth GPS receiver with the SirfIII chipset and either wear it around their neck using the cord they get with their work ID or just stick it in their pocket and forget about it"
I thought that the receiver needed direct sight of satelites to work, hang round the neck or stuck in a pocket is idea. Phil talks about getting 8 hours battery life out of his TTGPS11.
Thanks for your help

I also use OziExplorer and Pocket Anquet on my XDA2i. Still use the BT GPS for the same reasons as stated previously - improved battery life of the PDA (it needs all the help it can). I wear my TomTomII BT GPS around my neck on a lanyard - it works very well. Watch it on a bike - if you fall you could ruin your XDA :wink:

I have a QStarz 32-channel Bluetooth receiver, it's pretty small and easily fits in my pocket. Its model number is BT-Q880, and it lasts for ages on a single charge.
There's a registry hack you can perform to stop the error dialog coming up if you attempt to turn the Bluetooth on with the phone in Flight Mode, I tried it out and it seemed to work out, it let me run the Bluetooth without the phone part of the PDA turned on, so that could be useful if you're after usage as just a SatNav-enabled PDA.
Have you considered that running the phone in regular mode would allow you to make emergency 999 calls, though? That could be useful if you're out on your own hiking or geocaching or whatever, if you got into a pickle whilst out you wouldn't have to mess about with the registry to turn the phone back on, you could just hit the green key and dial the number, job done.

This has been previously discussed.
So, I was looking on ebay and I found a seller from Hong Kong that's selling 100 NFC chips for £24.99, which is an INCREDIBLE price. They do them in either keyring tags, or cards. Whatever tickles your fancy. You can find them here!
As soon as I get them and test them out, I'll let you guys know how they are!
stupid question, but how would you program these?

3. near you pc/mac : 1 for calendar, and 1 for reminder, 2 for emails
4. on your car dashboard to open maps / navigon
5. 1 on the living room to open remote app
6. 1 in your wallet to open bank app
7. 1 on the gym bag to open gym app
8. last but not least, pull your spen n scribble to figure out what to do with the rest 88 of it

Yea those are good uses...I think I've just been too lazy and haven't taken the time to program and use my tags LOL. I'm going to figure out a good use for these things. If more people used NFC, I would probably buy 100 of them and give them out or sell them for $1 each lol.
I was looking at buying some NFC tags and had a question.
I want to put one on my car mount. I want it to turn bluetooth on and some other things. But what I'm wondering is, if I pull my phone away from the tag, will it turn bluetooth back off?

You need to create a tag that toggles the settings you want. That way whenever you're leaving your car, you just tap your phone against the tag and then it turns off your bluetooth. However, I'm not sure how that works if you set it to open a program and then you want to close that program.
For example, a tag could contain the following commands for a car profile:
1. Turn off wifi
2. Toggle bluetooth
3. Set volume to max
4. Toggle bluetooth
5. Open music player
You would tap the phone against the tag upon entering the vehicle and it would perform those actions. Now when you leave the car, you might want your volume turned off to vibrate or silent, and you probably want to close the music player. Short of writing a separate tag, to perform those actions, I'm not sure how you would accomplish the latter two tasks with the commands from the first tag I just listed. It might be possible with Tasker, but I don't have any experience with that app since I can't convince myself to spend $6.50 on it lol.
But still it sucks that you have to unlock the phone and use nfc

I use the NFC to turn my Bluetooth on and off in the car as well. I have a NFC keychain that I programmed to turn everything off and set the phone up for use away from the house / car (Ringer to loud, vibrate on, GPS on, Wifi off, Bluetooth off etc.) then when you leave the car or house you can reset your phone settings.

Yeah, but since these 100 dog tags work out at the same price as 20 dog tags and are essentially the same, why bother getting 20? Me and my friend are halving in for them because we wouldn't ever use 100. And so I'm getting 50 for the price of 10. I'm sure I'll find uses, eventually. Like sharing programs I produce or something.

In short, no. The bluetooth will stay on. Once it has scanned the NFC tag, it won't scan it again until you put your phone up against it for a second time. You have three basic options with bluetooth enabling: On, Off, and Toggle. I'd imagine that's straight forward. But your best bet is using the toggle selection just to turn the things back off again when your journey is done.

These are the exact same ones I put up. Well, in a different colour and with an advertisement on it. You'll find that all companies just bulk buy the tags from the same sellers in China, Korea and other places like that. Only difference being, the ones I put up work out a lot cheaper. The only time the tags will be different is if you go onto a website and buy them from direct manufacturers, because they do different ranges of them. But, that's expensive and aimed more towards businesses.
Sorry about that did not mean to repost the same stuff. I could not look at the link you posted because I am at work and they block ebay. Was just trying to give some ideas about returning the phone back to normal setting when you leave the car / house etc.
I have been using NFC since my EVO LTE and have the stickers all over the place now.

Aha that's quite alright. But yeah, NFC is handy when you find the uses for them. But sadly since I only ordered keychains, I need to get a few stickers too.
NFC has come in really handy for my non tech savvy wife. She was always asking me to do stuff on the phone so I just programmed a bunch of stickers for common stuff and now she just scans them. Technology is making my life a little easier a little at a time. :good:

Actually I just figured this out today. It's quite simple using NFC Task Launcher
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher&hl=en
This app creates "tasks," two if which can be put into a "switch." For example, the first task I created was "Car Enter." It does the following:
1. Disable wifi
2. Enable Bluetooth
3. Set ringer type normal
4. Set ringer volume to 7 (this may make step 3 redundant, but it doesn't hurt)
5. Set media volume to 12
6. Enable auto-rotation
7. Launch music player
Then I created a second task called "Car Leave." It does the following:
1. Disable bluetooth
2. Set ringer type vibrate
3. Set ringer volume 0
When I get into the car, I tap against the tag once and it loads task 1, which is "Car Enter." When I leave, I tap against the tag again to load "Car Leave."
Pretty straight forward once you play with the program. So far I've used one tag properly and given another to my friend lol.
I got one programmed for connecting to my password protected wifi for guests. also use for alarm clock.
I play Magic: The Gathering and put a TecTile on the inside of my deck box lid and it reads it with the box closed from the outside. i have it set to open up a life counter program that i have preset with 1 player and my name. It works pretty well. I might buy 100 of the cards and see if i can print onto them and give them out as business cards for my repair business
anyone wants to split the package 50/50 lol i dont know wat the hell im going to do with 50, but definitely better than 100 lol
Im willing to pay like $20 USD if anyone wants to split
TPMS has beenn mentioned a few times in the original thread, but AFAIK no one has managed to find out how/if any TPMS modules will work. I bought a TPMS module from Klyde, it comes with 4 valve caps and a strange mini USB thing that I assume allows you to plug another mini USB device into the unit at the same time.
Unfortunately I cant get it to work with the built in TPMS app that started appearing in ROMs from June either on my old unit or my new one, I ve tried searching for the device in the BT app and the BT in settings but I get nothing, I m awaiting a response from Klyde.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get it to work then let me know, but its good to see TPMS hardware available for these devices - even if its not working . . yet !
Can you share link from TPMS module?
My brain is stuck what is TPMS? I am sure I should know but i don't get it

It turns out it cant be used with DAB, which is why I cant get it to work - the cable to attach it is the same as the DAB module they sent me.
I m not sure if its BT or maybe NFC or something. I ll report back with results when I get it to to work
Does anybody try this TPMS solution with his HU?

Does the app work in landscape mode?
Can the app start with background mode?
Does the external (valve cap) sensor show accurate value?
I have been using this TPMS system in Volkswagen Polo and my MTCB head unit since 3 months now and couldn't be happier with it.
It activates when you press the button because it invokes the reverse camera display source every time you call it into action.

I have tried these two models purchased at Amazon and they work perfectly. I have them installed on my cars.
The only drawback is that you need Bluetooth 4.0 and HuiFei radio does not have it. I have commissioned an RX USB Bluetooth for Android on Deal Extreme, to see if it works.
So far I'm seeing it in my S5 Galaxy.

Turns out you need a special lead that I wasnt sent orignally, it plugs into one of the sockets on the back of the unit, theyre sending me one, I ll post again when I get it.
Anyone have a idea if this would work with a joying head unit.

Dont know, ask the seller.
But in any case if it works with a Joyous unit it will work with ANY MTCB head unit. There is no such thing as a "Joying" head unit - Joying/CarJoying are simply re-sellers of Shenzhen Joyous head units.

Yes I think.
It looks made specifically for these HUs. So I supposed they tested them.
And screens look like built-in TPMS app that I got preinstaled on my HU (KGL). So I supposed it should work.
But I would preffer ecternal sensors, not ibternal ones. I have 4x4 which reqiires regular tire rotation and ibternal sensors are not suitable as I would need to remove and refit them on every tire rotation.
Is there external versio? I couldnt find it on AlliExpress.
The one I mentioned in my first post has valve mounted sensors and obviously works with MTCB head units

Why? Sure, if they are somehow hard coded to location its sort of funny when they might not match the picture, but you only have 4 tires. Its pretty easy to check them when they are low.
You want internal sensors for TPMS. Less chance for losing them.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cable-Bueto...Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System-/271315933336
I understand the point about tire rotation and internal sensors. Would it be possible to make the same rotation in the app, since all sensors are doing the same thing anyway? Eg. If you rotate your right front to right rear, make the same in the app to correspond with the sensor location?

Yes, mapping is possible. Depends on product.

Hi All,
I have also interest for this. Somebody could give some information ? It works, or any other bluetooth type, using with external attached bluetooth 4.0 dongle ?
Well, I found out most of the connections for the TPMS as Klyde didnt send me a lead - power and ground were easy same as the DAB box, then, as its just a mini usb connection its just data + and data -, I know where the one of those wires goes, and narrowed it down to 2 pins for the other, I ve tried both pins and several versions of the TPMS app, but cant get anything. I ve tried looking for BT devices on my phone I thought I found 1 but my phone wouldnt connect and the headunit's BT wouldnt see it, my phone wouldnt connect and after removing all the batteries on the TPMS it still showed up so it couldnt be that. Totally stumped, just cant get it to work.
TPMS-Type
Let me inform you that for some time I'm trying to find a TPMS system that works well with Android auto MTCB-C I have made several purchases and placements from various vendors I will mention my experience to help future stakeholders.
For GS, KD, and JY machines, the following set works very well:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/TPMS-for-SilverStrong-Android-CAR-DVD-Car-Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System-4-Sensors-Alarm-Tire-Temperature/32803916037.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.IU13AC
It has its own very friendly app and it works with automatic start-up in the background and immediately informs if something goes wrong with the tires of the car, I recommend it for the above!
But last time I discovered another type with external valves that works very well with a Klyde machine and that's it:

Thanks for your post - I have the Last type, Klyde themselves supplied me with it, but they did not send me the lead and they did not reply to me when I asked for it, so I had to make one, but I still cannot get it to work, could you post a picture of the lead (the end that plugs into the head unit) so I can see which wires go where (I have seen the picture in your 3rd link before, but I cannot see where all the wires go) ?
I would like some recommendations for a double din head unit. I wanted to have nav, rear view cam support, aux and 4G/WiFi.
I was going to make my own system with a raspberry pi, but after pricing stuff out I'm gonna be looking at a similar price of $200+. So I would rather just buy an android head unit since that's the OS I want to use anyway and it's still not that smooth on a rasperry pi. Although Google is going to offically suport it soon.
Thanks

Check on Crutchfield.com. I've only seen one unit that runs wifi(its alot more the $200), and havent seen one that runs cell band
Check out 'Joying'. You will have it in a few days.
If they have a package for your car then she is plug&play. Many of the units are the same but come with different stuff so the price changes. Some have volume knobs - do get that.
Joying... (can't post links so you have to type in)

I personally got this setup for my Nissan Frontier truck...
and i now have the 5.1 update hardware to update from kitkat. You might want to ask for the 5.1 models.
Yeah after I have been looking around the joying is probably what I'm gonna go with.

The unit I got was the 'JY-NQ128'.
If you search for it on the joying site you will see it is set up for Nissan cars/trucks meaning they include plug and play cables for that vehicle so it's working in minutes.
That part number also comes with backup camera, gps stuff, etc. It has a volume knob on the top. Some other packages will have the same unit at a different price but come with say an OBD2 dongle and a volume button in the middle or no buttons or no navigation. Some have a DVD player.
A note about navigation... You have to ask for it. They will then send you a link for the 'IGO' software and maps. You install it on the blank SD card they include. IGO is kinda a standard I think but you can also use Google maps, Here, Waze, whatever you like. In settings you just set the nav button to whatever.
You can buy cables, backup camera, etc from their site if they don't have a package for your car.
I have bad ears so can't be trusted on its ability to play music but seems to work fine. I bought it mostly for its backup camera, navigation and of course the powerful Android system. My calendar is on there, email, etc.
Nice unit 1024x600 screen too.

Not sure. I've not researched Android Auto but I suspect it is totally limited (AA).
My unit is full blown Android. You have to be careful here. For example streaming a movie while driving is possible. It is initially shut off in settings but you can turn it on.
The unit is like a Nexus phone. No limitations.

I think the biggest thing im looking for is a nice driving friendly UI, with good navigation. Android auto ticks all my requirements.
How about “Pumpkin”?

Hi guys, I am new to programming and classic cars. I recently have the chance to buy a 80 model toyota and decided to make a head unit with my old samsung S3. I won't use it to control music or make calls. I just want head unit to show temperature, compass, fuel level etc. By the way, car does not have OBD or ECU, most of the reading would be analogue or through new sensors. Is it possible to attach new sensors to my old phone and read results on the screen? I believe this can be done using a raspberry pi but I am on a tight budget and if I can use what I have at hand for this project it would be really great. I add a sample image of what I have in mind to build. I want it to look genuine and proper for a classic car. Any help is greatly appreciated and I can even offer a test drive with my old beauty if you happen to swing by my vicinity
buy a Bluetooth odb2 adaptor and use the torque pro app.
I simply do not have anything to connect to OBD all the readings regarding the car are old fashion analogue. there is no central command or control.
yeah I forgot about the "classic" part. My bad. Torque will still let you use your phone sensors, so gps speedometer, and gyro based drag timer and hp estimate, but I dont know of anything else you would be able to use. Not that something doesn't exist, I just dont know what it would be.
thank you man I guess I will use the app and look for temperature on my phone.
When did 1980 start being classic, I was thinking pre-70 at least. Which model do you have? I'm trying to remember if the standard DIN size was being used then - I know it was on my mid-70s VW, but that was German, which is where the DIN came from in the first place. Dropping in a 1-DIN android head unit might be easier that rigging up something with your phone.
