ANS-810 / ANS-510 (PROPER RNS-510 alternative)

[jessv3]

Hi Guys,

Most of you know iOS6.1 is now out for iPhones, well I noticed today it has unlocked a cool feature when you're using an iPhone connected to the ANS via the ipod cable, the music app is now unlocked! Which means you can completely control the music via the iphone rather then the awkward menu on the ANS. It probably wont impact too many users but I personally find it very helpful when trying to listen to a particular part of a long dj set/ pod cast.

Apple iOS 6.1 change log:

If your device is connected to a car with an iPod compatible USB interface, the Music app is no longer locked out as "Accessory Connected". The controls are now available.

In a future firmware update of the ANS unit I would love to see support for an Android device via the usb cable, I plugged in my Android the other day and the ANS just got stuck on the VW screen, wouldnt let me play the music on the device or stream radio from it, ill just have to stick with my company issued iPhone for now..

Hi, I have a problem with the unit.

I will not come on. It keeps blowing fuses.

I changed fuse and it blows immediately.

Please help?

I have checked all the wiring and its fine.

Sounds like a warranty issue - it's almost impossible to tell you what is wrong just because it's blowing fuses. Any part of the circuits on the hardware could be causing a short.

That is such good news...... BUT it highlights a different problem.
The playback feedback on the ANS screen does not actually come directly from the iPhone, but from a cached list.
So in this new mode you can use the screen of the iPhone to chose music and transport controls AT THE SAME TIME as doing transport controls on the ANS and the steering wheel, plus RANDOM and REPEAT now folow what the iPhone is set to. But the playback text feedback displayed on the ANS is completley wrong.

If you chose to browse from the ANS then nothing much appears to have changed.

So for me this is a very good change.... mostly.

Interesting point - I'd have to pass that on to Audiosources. I would imagine though a lot of devices would now have this problem if you use this new mode, that's probably why the iPhone was originally locked out when in accessory mode. It just means programmers will have code things a bit differently to reflect new information coming from the iPhone's end.

I did notice that, its a bit annoying but not too bad considering you can see the correct title on the screen of the iPhone (whilst you're not driving of course).

2 corrections to my post on new iOS 6.1.
The ALBUM & ARTIST info are correct. My bad. Only the TRACK info is cached.

secondly, please can Audiosources only send a PLAY command on power up or App startup. Then the iPod would pick up where you left it instead of always playing the first song in list of songs.

whilst I think the unit needs a full browse interface itself, this would be a quick and dirty solution .

Sounds like a good idea. I will pass it on, but they have just begun the Chinese New Year holiday starting today until 19 February.

Hi DkN
I have now flashback to the previous MPU.

The Firmware information is now:
Version:
BSP: ANS510AS.611
MPU: ANS510AS.M93
MPGE :
Servo :
MCU : ANS510AS.121123.m1.D1
BT : 20120405
MST701: 6.2.01
Region code 9

Without any luck still the same problem.

Can the problem bee that something did go wrong when i updated the mpeg?

Do you have any suggestions for what I can do?

Try a soft reset from setup -> general, after that flash the latest MPU again with no SD card in the media slot. After the flash completes and the unit turns on to radio screen, insert the SD card and see if it loads.

If that still does not work PM me and we will discuss further.
