Navall III - some generic questions

[Christopher]

Just getting the hang of the system after installing it this weekend and have a few questions (that may be obvious to some who have had these systems for a while - so apologies if they are TOO obvious!)

- the plugs at the back were not quite as described in the manual (what's new!? ) I figured out which of the two gold coax connectors was for the antenna for radio - what is the other for?
- the two USB sockets at the back (with extension cables) are they the usual usb you would find on a tablet? and can be used to plug in say a memory stick with audio/ images/ data as usual? what else? (did I read USB 'camera' in the manual?)
- I have yet to connect my iPhone (5) I am hoping there is iPhone control in there(?)
- I may also put content (audio mainly) in the micro sd card on the right - what type of audio file is preferred? and how do I guarantee the track/album/performer name and album art is preserved?? (can I just dump the content of my iTunes folder??)

Thanks for any pointers - enjoying playing with my new toy

Best

the second gold coax is for the sat nav module

WRT music I have used MP3 on the SD card and it then picked up all the album art from the internet; as its an android device I think this is probably the one as the M4a files are only apple (I think!!) as when I take iTunes stuff and copy on my android phone it converts to MP3

I also use blue tooth music a fair bit straight from my phone which seems to work really well and would not require any file changes

WRT the USBs; I only put one in and ran a USB extension to the Glove box; guess you could consider using an iPhone one there. I tend to use Bluetooth though rather than wires.

Thanks for this. The GPS has a different connector on a fly lead on my Navall, which I connected up, so the 2nd gold connector is "free" ... is it redundant perhaps?

Thanks for the rest re music, I will have a play - I will see if I need to download any particular player too

Cheers

Well I've still not hooked up my iPhone to the unit - I have AirPlay and can see the Navall BT but I think I need to download a music player that can play music through Airplay(?) the one that's there doesn't do anything.

I've also plugged in the OBD BT dongle and unpaired my phone and paired the dongle. The app then still refuses to do anything - it can see and identify the dongle but the bullet "torque can talk to the ecu" (or words to that effect) has an exclamation mark next to it - not sure what to try next???

Afternoon Christopher,

Have you gone into the Apps and the 'OTHER' apps and installed Airpin from there?
If not you will need to do so







Once that is installed when you play a music/video/photo file from your Apple device you should be able to press the Airplay symbol and it will then stream the content to the Airpin app on your head unit

I've not really played with the OBD device so can't really offer up much help but I do believe you have to make a profile within the Torque app for it to function, I may be wrong there though so hopefully others who use it will be able to guide further
