I have RCA connections in my CAR touch screen panel and can view the screen from galaxy s i9000. But is there a way by which i can transmit the input from my touch screen Car nav panel to android phone?
I think is not possible, there are people working on otg usb but i don't know if will work for that
but, i think it's possible.
cause i connected a Bluetooth mouse and working perfectly.

Hello XDA,
I tried many ways how run "true" car mode. I modified micro usb cable (619K ohm between 4 and 5 pin), I installed many ROMs (stock or custom), I flash many versions of google car home app. But only 619K ohm resistor able to activate "true" car mode. If I say true car mode then I think for example rotating Phone.apk (call screen in landscape) and auto loud call. Unfortunately, google car home activated car mode, I see on notify bar steering wheel, but without a resistor function as rotating phone.apk not work. I do not always use cable. For long travel no problem, but I ride short tracks then I must phone often insert and remove.
I tried google car home on girlfriend`s LG optimus black. If I run it, google car home activates true car mode, with rotating phone.apk and other.
My question is. Is any solution with google car home app for my samsung galaxy s2? I use android 4.0.3 (XXLPS), rooted.
Thanks for answer and sorry for my english.
Hello all, I hope this is the right place for my question.
I'm 16 years old, I'm disabled since I was born (S.M.A 2).
I'm looking to buy a Smartphone, after I found accessories that allow me to use it by myself (BT mouse and a headset - Marque 165).
The main problem now is that all the phones I've seen, except the Nexus 4 (which has BT problems) and the Xperia Z (which is too expensive) don't have the navigation bar / software on screen buttons.
I need that to do the 'home' and 'back' actions independently with my mouse (I can't click the right mouse button).
I don't want to use apps, like 'button savior' , and I prefer to NOT mess up with rooting, because I don't know how to and if it doesn't work - the phone isn't good for my physical needs...
That's why I need your help:
Are there any phones with built-in navigation bar / software on screen buttons like the N4?
If there aren't any phones with navigation bar / software on screen buttons, can I add it easily and safety to a phone like the Galaxy S Advance or any other phone?
Thanks!
Just thought I'd let you all know that the Nexus player does in fact support HDMI-CEC. This wasn't on any of the specs nor any reviews so I thought it was a feature I'd be losing from the chromecast... Glad it's there.
Great to know!
Are you sure?

My nexus player does not turn on TV when I cast to it , my chromecast does it on the same port , am not sure about the HDMI CEC on nexus because of this
Hmm... It absolutely does it on my TV which is a Samsung LED 55 inch. Maybe they have it working partly and that's why they don't list it as a feature?
Does it pass through remote commands such as navigating menus/play/pause etc? My Samsung Bluray player does this through my Sony TV's remote.
I can confirm at least partial functionality for HDMI-CEC on my LG 47LN5750. The TV remote is able to send dpad commands to the NP, but auto-on/input switching functionality does not appear to work as it did for the chromecast.
Edit: After changing from the chromecast to the NP in the same HDMI port, I had to reset some CEC settings on the TV and all is functioning normally.
Is the nexus player always on just like the Chromecast is when plugged into a wall outlet?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, it is always on. It has a "sleep" mode where it shuts off the display, but the device isn't really OFF.
Is there a way to get the player to turn on the tv besides casting?
Since the player comes with a remote it would be nice if I could just push a dang button and it would turn on the tv if it was off.... I think the home button should send tv wake command each time. Or instead if the nexus player is in low power state it should send wake command when the player wakes.

Can someone answer this question? I'm afraid navigating menus with back / home and media commands like play / stop / pause / fast forward / etc won't work.

My new Sony tv does pass through the controls, back/home/arrows/select, its enough to work with.
Its sometimes a little challenging to wake up (hitting back usually works though)

Nice to hear, I've also a new Sony tv
My old (7 years) Samsung TV also controls the Nexus Player just fine through HDMI-CEC.
Controlling NP with the TV remote does work over CEC on 2011 LG TV, but I find that it's substantially slower than using NP's remote a 2.4ghz remote/air mouse. YMMV.
Sorta
With my LG TV remote i seem to have to press the play or pause buttons twice to get a response. It isnt just slow, it only works the second time i press the button. The dpad functionality is even stranger. I press right it does nothing, then press left and it goes right, i press center and it goes left, i press up and it selects whatever is highlighted with the center. With each dpad press it does the last button I pressed, if only there were a way to fix this. I really just want a fancier bluetooth remote for the Nexus Player that could turn on my TV, control volume, and maybe even just be fully functional universal remote through CEC? Does CEC have the capability to function in both directions? That would be lovely but I wont hold my breath. The remote juggling that is necessary with this thing is my biggest complaint.

What buttons did you use for home/back? I just got a new sony TV and programmed my Harmony and CEC is working great but I cant figure out which buttons do home/back.
I have an LG 55LA690 and before I used Chromecast. I have Sinplink enabled for it, so when I cast something to it, it switches the TV from antenna mode, to HDMI. Well, this is not available for Nexus Player. I do not see simpmlink being enabled for it and it does not switch to player when casting to it. Also, I have that awesome Magic Remote for LG and it does not work with the player. Such a shame, as the current nexus remote is quite limited.
Later edit: I managed to make LG's simplink to work with Nexus Player by changing the HDMI cable. It seems that my older cable was not CEC compatible.
I can confirm that The Nexus Player can receive CEC from my television, but can anyone confirm it can send signals to other devices (Volume Control, Input Switching, Power)? I haven't been able to find an Android app that provides this function.
I have a Sharp Aquos LC32D64U Television. The IR remote can provide the same functions as the remote included with the Nexus Player.
When I hit the googlecast control on my phone it switches/hijacks the input and switched the tv to the nexus player.
Side note, I now have a nexus player in the office too, on a w7 sony tv, which doesn't do the CEC control (even with the other cable that I know works), the w8 I have down stairs does work fine. Bloody sony and standards!
I have a Panasonic Viera TV. The CEC worked on the nexus player but I had to wipe it and start fresh but now the CEC doesn't work. Does anyone have any input?
Hey guys. About a year ago I installed a Teyes T-Pro in my '14 Focus ST, and while its better than the ST1 radio I had with a 4" screen, I hate this thing. An entire 1 inch vertical segment of the screen does not work, the screen does not turn on when the ambient temp is below 50 degrees F (until it heats itself up, takes like 25+ min in winter), subwoofer pre out doesn't work, and many many more stupid issues.
The reason I'm posting, though, is I would like to remap one of the steering wheel keys. The built in app to do this, of course, does nothing. Apps like button remapper also do nothing, probably bc the buttons function over CAN-Bus. When I press the microphone button on my steering wheel it opens an app called "car-info" which also does almost nothing. I am wondering if there is a way to have another app (google assistant) open right after this "Car-info" app opens. Also, if anyone has any experience with the T-Pro any input would be very appreciated. TEYES Tech support never responded to my multiple messages, of course, and I can't seem to find a head unit that sucks less and I don't want to roll the dice on another Teyes product.
Any input would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks a ton
Anyone got anything?

Contact TEYESAustralia, Hopefully they can give you a solution
What kind of car do you have (year, make, model, etc)?
Did you install the T-Pro yourself?
Do you have schematics for your car? If so, how do your steering wheel buttons connect to the old head unit?
Can you tell from the schematics if the buttons are resistive or not? Only resistive buttons can be remapped.
If your SWC are resistive, then you should be able to directly connect those buttons to the T-Pro inputs...I believe they are labelled key1 and key2. If the SWC are not resistive, I don't believe there is anything you can do about remapping them.
