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

[richmurphy]

Yes I've gradually released more information in that post over the past couple of months, you now pretty much have all the concrete information, there are more planned but unconfirmed features so I'll let everyone know for sure after I receive a unit myself.

Okay so to summarise your new features post:

- 1.2 Ghz dual core A9 CPU
- 512 MB RAM
- Windows CE
- OEM FAKRA antenna supported
- better music library
- better MFD integration
- speed sensitive volume

Have I missed anything?

Mirrorlink style android connectivity, search function in Bluetooth phonebook and music library. They are also working on phonebook display in MFD and navigation directions in MFD, but these two won't be ready when the unit is first released. These are confirmed features, I'll be able to tell you more when I get my hands on a unit.

Hi DkN,

Do you know if mirrorlink work with all androids or just a few like most of the mirror link devices out there?

Thanks

I don't know right now, but I would expect it would have more to do with the android version than other factors.

still getting OBDII functions? (didn't see this on the list)

Yes but this is still coming for both the current and new generation units so I didn't consider it as a unique function coming in the new generation.

Last I heard from Audiosources before they went on break though they were expecting more delays with the OBD2 module, they've successfully tested the prototype module but there are delays in getting it mass produced so it's likely going to be released after the new units are released.

Hi DkN,

I have a Mk5 MY08 GTi, I was just wondering, do the head units you sell support the OEM 6 stack CD player?

No, there is no support for the 6 stack CD player. Their AS-7609G model which runs a Zenec style interface (instead of OEM) has a virtual 6 CD function, but I'm not clear on how it operates and whether it is likely to be ported to the ANS units. It depends on demand I suppose and for 6 CD it has not been very high.

Hi!

I'm new here, I'm here because of the new Audiosources unit that DkN is talking about. I'm really excited about it, all the news sounds great.

The one thing that worries me is that I hope AS focuses on making a strong unit, not just a unit with 50 features but all of them with bugs.

About the SD Card issue, it has happened on my own unit but it seems to be a rare bug. This glitch, when it happens, like to do so either on boot, or on the 3rd song that you skip to after you turn on the unit. It's been hard to pin down and you are the only other person so far that I know of that has it, which is why it hasn't been resolved yet. When it happens though, you just need to switch to another source like Radio and switch back, and it should reset. If you find the problem keeps occurring, do a soft factory reset through setup -> general, take out your media SD card, re-flash the latest firmware, let the unit boot into radio, then re-insert the SD card.

I am also pushing for Audiosources to perfect the software at least in its current form, this seems more likely now that they are not discontinuing the current generation.

OK, thanks for the information, I tried your suggestion (full reset) and the problem is still there. I've noticed the problem occurs even when not skipping tracks. I'll start playing an album and without interacting with the unit, eventually after track X the playback will stop and display current playback time as 12:15. If you can feed this back to the audiosources team it would be greatly appreciated, hopefully the 12:15 might give them a clue to where things are failing if it's a software related bug.
