I want to modify my brodit car dock (Note 1) for my Note 2.
The first problem is, that the 619k resistor for tiggering car dock mode with fast charging (AC-Mode) isn´t recognized by the Note 2. Here ist the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820275&page=18
Okay, the fast charging-mode only (shown as "AC") can be triggered with pins D+ D- connected. But this isn't working too.
It seems, Samsung want Note 2-owners to buy original accessories only?

FYI, on the S3 in the official jelly bean releases, car dock mode is totally broken, this may be the same for the note. car dock mode not triggered, charging not triggered and audio is not routed out of the car dock.
I have the Samsung Note 1 car dock.
It will charge the Note 2 but it will not put it into car mode. The usb connection is very slight between connected and not connected. It's not a perfect fit.

Not exactly what you're asking, but I use Tasker in a similar situation to engage car dock mode. In my case, I'm using BT connection as a trigger (battery life is so good now I dont see the need to cut BT on and off as I did with Note1), instead of charging as a trigger. With Note1 I used charging as a trigger to cut BT on, the BT connection as a trigger for car dock mode (or absence of connection for 60 secs to turn BT back off). Bottom line, Tasker gives a lot more flexibility in creating scenarios than a hardwired solution, and with a lot less effort.
The Perseus kernel was updated recently, with this in its changelog, maybe you should give it a try?
Enabled OTG car dock, smart dock and music dock charging. Alternatively this can be triggered if you short pins 4 and 5 of the USB connector with a 40.2kΩ, 64.9kΩ or 619kΩ resistor.

Hi hchxoom
That's an excellent idea. Just wondered if you were already doing this or is it just theoretical. Like others, when I use the original note car dock, it will charge but not route the speakers through the dock. I can plug the audio cable in to the headphone socket but that's fiddly and crappy sound. What you are saying is that I can force the audio to be redirected by using tasker to select dock mode?
Thanks

Doing it now. Set it up a few weeks ago, or rather tweaked my Note1 setup. Still tweak it periodically as I find ways to improve it. I started down the nfc path briefly, and will experiment further, but havent yet found added asvantage.
The biggest difference btw current setup and Note1 setup is due to the phenomenal battery performance on Note2. On Note1 BT and GPS on all the time were killers, so my setup included scripts to turn them on and off, which complicated matters sifnificantly and, in the case of GPS, required root.
Now, I just leave BT and GPS on all the time (well, I also have tasker setup to begin cutting them off if not in use when batt hits 25%, but that is rarely triggered).
So, when I get in the car and turn it on, BT connects automatically. Tasker recognizes that change in connectivity and launches my CarMode actions. In my setting, it looks specifically for the connection with MY vehicle, not just any BT. The actions currently launched include: 1 turn on car mode, 2 turn off wifi (so I dont get offers to connect evry time I drive by McD's), 3 disable my lock screen (after first successful unlock), 4 load Ulysses Speedometer app (my preferred card dock base app), 5 /6/7 turn up BT volume, media volume , and incall volume to max (just in case I ever turned them down). IF charging (meaning I've also put it in my dock) it also disables screen sleep. Then end result of this is that I get my car setup every time I drive, even when I don't dock it... so it can stay in my pocket for a quick trip to the store and still have full features avail.
When the BT connection terminates (car off and exit), Tasker launches my exit actions, including: 1 car mode off, 2 turn on wifi, 3 go to home page of launcher, 4 reset my lockscreen password. I don't have to ask it to terminate the speedo app, bc that functionality is built into the app.
To make the above work (specifically lockscreen disable and reset) I also needed the SecureSettings plugin app.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info. I tried it out. Unfortunately just switching on car dock mode doesnt seem to output audio via the dock. All the other stuff seems to work well though. I just hope there is an official note 2 powered car dock in the not too distant future.

Worka fine for me via BT, but sounds like you're trying via usb... perhaps they changed the wiring a bit.

All, we at iBOLT are working on finishing up the car-dock for the Note 2 with a release date around the 4 weeks from now. It will work with all cases too, including Otterbox Defender type. The big challenge is that there is no car-mode and no aux-out through the micro-usb in the latest Jellybean firmware version from Samsung for the Galaxy Note 2. Although anyone can still download and automatically start (using an NFC tag) any of the "vehicle interface" apps from the Google Play store, type applications like CarHome Ultra, it will not work as intended.
Without integrated car-mode support in the Jellybean firmware the "Car Home App" will not default as the new home screen. As a result pressing the "home" button will take the user back to the standard Samsung "home" screen instead of the "Car Home screen" from the app. A core value of car-mode, in our opinion, is that a user should be able to "toogle" between GPS Navigation apps, music players apps, camera, speed camera warning apps etc and any time press the "home" button on the phone and it should take the user back to the "car-home" interface. This is also how it has worked for the past few years and for reasons beyond anybody's understanding (including people working for Samsung) the latest Jellybean firmware does not have the great aux-out and car-mode functionality turned on.
If you want these features, help us out by contacting Samsung telling them to re-active these features in future upgrades.

Is it my understanding that the iBolt Hardware will support aux-out through the micro-usb once the firmware is updated? Also is it known if all firmware versions/ carrier models have this feature disabled?

but some people are reporting that USB Audio does work for the note 2?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891086
or is this via OTG?
I have looked high and low for a way to turn on my Nexus7 without using the power button while it is in sleep mode.
The reason is because i am putting my tablet in my 2002 Mustang GT to replace the stock radio. Once installed , the power, and volume buttons are no longer accessible. I have bought an AMP and use the remote volume knob to adjust the volume. Next my issue was getting the tablet to wake from sleep.
After some serious thinking, i have found a way.
This does not require flashing,hacking, taking the tablet apart to rewire ANYTHING.
What i am going to do is connect the charging cord to a secondary cigarette lighter, then plug in a USB adapter.
On the power side of the secondary cigarette lighter connect a toggle switch. (The secondary cigarette lighter will be hidden behind the tablet)
Mount the cool looking toggle switch somewhere in the car where it is easily accessible.
When you want to wake the table, and or charge it, turn on the toggle switch. (This SHOULD work with any tablet)
You may want to download an app to put the tablet to sleep for when getting out of your car.
If anyone else tries this please let me know how it worked out for you.
LOL
A great solution to a unique problem.
Let's see pics when you are done dash mounting your N7.
I still have to cut out a small piece of the dash to allow room for the charging cable. That will be done tomorrow, along with a better video. I just wanted to show my progress.

Here is another video i made during the day, and after it was all mounted.

Here's a thought, couldn't you just wave a little magnet over the bottom right part of the nexus screen? This should wake it up just as if you were opening a cover.

While that is a good idea, that doesn't help with charging.
I personally would want the battery in the tablet to cycle threw its charges instead of always staying connected. (in case i ever wanted to take the tablet out)
Thanks for the videos. Looks like quite the fun project. You did some great work there.

Thanks RoumoredNow. Its still a work in progress.
1. Better mounting of the tablet.
2. Add DC 4 port USB hub.
3. Add front and rear cameras.
4. Add 2 Standard USB connections built into the dash. (for passengers to charge there phone or play threw the audio system)
5. Another AMP
6. Replace the stock 8 speakers.
7. Add Sub-woofer.
8. Anything else i may think of, or suggestions i may like.
This is just an update to anyone wanting to mount there tablet in a mustang.
I have found that a simple piece of plywood does the job well. the area to mount a tablet in a mustang (without cutting up the dash) is about the same thickness as the tablet.
So using a piece of plywood, you can screw it to the BACKSIDE of the stereo mounting bracket. A couple of pieces of Velcro added to the plywood and tablet will keep it centered and in place while putting the radio bezel back on.
The Velcro also added cushion and a space filler to snug the tablet up to the radio bezel.
See images.
Just remember that baking a tablet in a car all of the time _will_ destroy the battery, and rather fast. Maybe that's fine. Just warning you.
As for turning the device off. If you have bluetooth in the car or something, you could use Tasker to watch for the BT device. When it goes away, start a timer, maybe 30 minutes or something, then shut down. That way quick runs into the store or it's not powered off/rebooting etc. There are many posts on this exact same subject in this exact sub-forum... Nexus 7 seems to be popular for cooking in vehicles for some reason.
But yes, the "unplug it from the power" solution is always the solution. Using a "pretty" switch is one way to do it. Some cars have lighter ports which are only powered when the car is powered, but I know mine are hot all of the time and a lot of cars these days are.
Use mKernel and a ROM that supports it and you can use the double tap to wake function, works great on my tablet, just tap the screen twice to wake it up.
U can use timur's kernel, And a otg-y cable, so when power unplug nexus go on stand by, And when plug power nexus start.
That rom is created Just for car installation.

**EDIT: The ebay item i bought below does not fit well in the nexus7.
While it does fit, and does charge, it is loose and sometimes gives a bad connection then disables charging. I suggest to NOT buy it for a nexus7.
I just wanted to update that i have got my OTG cable for my nexus7 (2012) and it works great with timur's rom. Here is a link to the 1 i bought from a USA seller.
I have used a 16gig USB stick with it for testing till i get a larger 1.

A couple of things i wanted to point out about having a toggle switch connected to wake my tablet.
PROS:
1st. This will allow you to charge the tablet when your not in your car.
2nd. Your car does NOT have to be running or in accessory mode to charge your tablet.
3rd. Depending on how you wire your amp, you can still listen to music on your tablet when the accessory is off.
4th. You can still use ftp, AirDroid, ES File Explorer, ect.. (As im typing this, i'm transferring over 600 songs to my tablet in the car.)
CONS:
1st. Tablet does not wake when switch is moved to accessory mode. (toggle switch must be pressed)
There may be more cons, but i haven't found any related to my setup yet.
I'll add to this as i run across PROS and CONS.

i have it set up with my acc line just connected to my ligheter cable and when ever i turn off ignition my tablet turns off and goes on airplane mode.. what i did was i bough a usb addapet that conects to positive n negative line. outputs 2 amps.. its located in the glove box ran the wire through the back and its pluges to the tablet.. so when i turn on the switch the table goes out of airplane mode, turns on my wifi (Wifi Teher) and Bluetoot (For bluetooth gps reciever) and lastly plays my music. . very pleased with the process.. now im hving one issue wich im trying to fix.. since i have booth bluetooth and wifi my tablet seems to drain more battery than it charges... im running c-rom 4.4.4 and i was looking into tfinding a fast charge. if anyone can help me setup fast charge please let me know and good luck. im pretty good with electrical in case you need any help..
****VERY IMPORTANT OPINION*****
I RECOMEND YOU SET A FUSE BEHIND EVERY WIRE TAP YOU MAKE, I HAD TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE WIRING HARNEST DUE TO A SHORTAGE.. SO A FUSE WOULD JUST BLOW AND NOT CAUSE SHORTAGE> :good::cyclops:
This post is old but I still have problems. Anyone had luck or did you just threw away your old and got a new model instead?

The thing im using 4.4.4 rom and I believe timurs kernal is only for 2013 version of nexus 7. (Might be wrong) what I ended up doing is making a switch wich in case my battery dieson the tablet I can turn on the switch and charge the tablet over night even when the car is off..

I have 2 nexus7 (2012) models. My first one, i had timurs USB ROM for Nexus 7
I never could get it to fast charge even when fast charging was turned on. i was backing up my music and the rom went into a boot loop while it was backing up. So i tried to clear the cache and that didn't help. i then tried to revert back to factory (4.4.4) and i bricked it. It was hung at writing the bootloader. So i left it all nite while i went to bed and the battery died.
My 2nd tablet i left stock (i haven't even tried rooting it yet).
After the camera update the phone (N8 - TA 1004) no longer connects to the head unit (VW Media with AA and Mirrorlink). - just a new message on the head unit asking whether a confirmation message may be on the phone's display (which is not the case) and then the phone is disconnected, the screen of the unit remaining black.. No software update for the head unit, other phone (Z5) works; same AA version on both. Has anyone observed this? Any ideas? The phone is slowly becoming less interesting: the Bluetooth connection to S3 Gear is far from ideal (maybe due to Oreo) and now this...
Thanks.
Hi Folks,
My Ford has Sync3. The old AA UI would let me flip in and out of AA to the Sync3 interface to let me take advanced control the car heating, audio and other settings. How do I do that on the new UI with unplugging my phone and plugging it back in again?
Many thanks.
Hi
If you press the white circle in AA, it should take you to the available apps. One should be "Exit". That should take you out of AA and into the head unit's interface.
(that's from memory, it may be the same, only different)
You can use exit icon
Thanks, I don't know why I didn't see that, darn it. I must be getting old!

Hello, i am waiting a long time now for the MA1, but it still is not normally available.
But i would like to know if there are any users of the MA1 and what there experiences are.
I have read a lot of the reviews, but almost all of them are form magazines/sites/etc who only use it once for the test.
Would love to hear form 'real' users what they think of it.
On XDA i cannot find any thread about the MA1.
Hello, I had a hell on my Tucson 2017 and the Galaxy S22 Ultra, no cable worked for the S22u, (in fact any Galaxy phone on Android 12 is not detected by my car). The only phone that seems to work is an old Mi 9t pro but with USB debugging on. I had to take a chance on getting my car working with the S22u, so I bought a MA1 (overpriced), and it worked on first try, my car cuts the usb power 2 minutes after it is turned off, so no problem there, the MA1 and my phone gets hot a little bit. Still having a problem with the microphone on ok google (calls works ok) since the microphone seems to be mute. It detects "Ok google" ok but after that, it seems to be disabled, unless after a call, seems that the mic is ok. The cord on the MA1 could be a little bit longer.
Ive been using it for months. Works flawlessly.
Works for me for several days now. Just plug and play. Bought from some unknown seller on Amazon for ~$120.-
