Hi All, has anyone had any success in getting android devices such as the MK808B to work with external GPS devices such as the Prolific PL2303? Desperately trying to find a way to support it so that I may use one to make a car PC. So if anyone can help / advise me how to install drivers and get it recognised in copilot I would be extremely grateful. Thanks
Dave

I did try this using my android phone and a few apps that share your phone GPS as a bluetooth GPS but couldnt get it recognized by copilot. Id definately be open to this if i can get it recognized in there. Currently im using an archos 80 G9 tablet as my car PC, but want to switch to this mini pc for better performance and a better mounting option for in the dash - so my aim is to get GPS and a HDMI / USB touchscreen (such as an egalax screen) working. Then its a go. Ill then probably turn my hand to application development (my day to day job) to come up with the best option user interface wise and will happily share all the information and software i develop with the community.
MK808B + CoPilot (GlobalSat BT-359)
I am able to use MK808B + CoPilot (GlobalSat BT-359) with the help of a mock GPS provider app (Blutooth GPS). GoogleMaps \ Sygic are both working perfect.
I am also looking for a HDMI/USB touch screen for it, any update on this?

Ok, got a copilot branded BT GPS device, and its recognised and seems to be working with some apps - but not the one i want the most, copilot. It just states its unable to register for GPS updates, which sucks!

I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Dual-Electron...p/B006M49G80/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=136138107
I use it w/out issue w/Google Maps, so I'll drop co-pilot on and see how it works out.
The rest of my CarPC setup:

I contacted the makers of Co-pilot and they said they dont support external GPS receivers. I have both the bluetooth and USB receivers but I think for co-pilot to support them I'd need to get to be recognised as the inbuilt GPS receiver. Co-pilot tells me its unable to register for GPS requests - but other apps _seem_ to work, but currently all my testing is done on a PC monitor, so its hard to hit the road and see if its actually working. I currently have an archos G9 80 built into my Jag XK8 and im so pleased with the functionality - but not so much with the GPS support (can be hit and miss) and with the mounting. Prior to that i had a windows PC, but that was much worse of an installation.
My only dissapointment is that there is no camera on the shield. I use skype and hangouts sometimes to keep in touch with family. I imagine something would have to added in to the system for this to work? I was thinking of using one of those clip-on bluetooth cameras.
Ps. Crap sorry I meant to post this in the question section
you would probably have better luck with a USB camera, you can get a USB host cable that connects to the micro USB of the shield (or any other android device) and allows you to plug in USB devices.
Whether android will work with a USB webcam or not though I dont have a clue
Can i get the sensor data from one phone connected to my main phone??
And can it be accessible in ide or game engine??
I do not want sensor data from my main phone but rather the data from the other phone connected to it via Bluetooth/Wifi.
Can this also be true from fitness band?
I.E gain acceas to fitness band's sensor data to develop a app/game?

I think its possible because I have connected Arduino with Android phone via Bluetooth and send the sensor information to arduino which I could save to my PC. SO I think connecting via bluetooth you can send the sensor data but you need to find out some app regarding that.
Hi, just connected the front DVR on my KGL unit, all working well but it doesn’t show up on the f cam app when I select front camera?. Any idea how to do this?. Reverse cam does.
Also any one having an issue that after you use an sd card in the head unit your windows laptop thinks it’s now write protected?. Just had another new 32gb card busted after I’ve put it in my laptop to format to use in an other device.
Changed the storage to the flash and the jerking has now stopped
did you solve this? Im having an issue with F-CAM APP I have a warning image in both cameras... front and rear...
I can't even find the F-CAM app on Play store anymore. The one with the camera lens avatar.
F-Cam shows the image of a Cam connected to the usb ports
if you are connecting the camera to AVIN wires, it will show in the AVIN mode
Hope this helps
Hello,
I have been searching for a long time but still can't find any solution of my problem.
The situation is:
I have raspberry pi3 and i have installed android on it.
Everything works fine, but i need to use camera with raspberry. I know that there is a special camera module available and maybe it works fine but i need to use an external USB camera.
I plugged USB camera and started default camera application, but it says that it's impossible to connect to camera.
But when i've installed USB camera app it works fine with external camera.
I use skype and when i'm trying to make videocall - video is not available.
That is why question appeared.
How is it possible to enforce android to use external USB camera as default?
Sorry for bad english.
Thanks in advance,
