NAvall Comet Head Units Advise and support thread
Hello All, Now that the Comets are arriving the true tests, the customer feedback, is coming in and so far seems very good.
As always , I hope that we can all share experiences and discoveries that will help each other. So far , this has been the feedback and niggles that we received thanks to Mike and Coolcat for their input. 1. If using both DAB and Front DVR both work with the DAB plugged into USB and the camera plugged into 3G, just thought I would let you know to save any customer confusion over the labeling ! 2. The main power loom (provided with the Comet) is wired completely differently to ALL other Navall products so PLEASE do NOT use the old one (which will actually fit.) 3. Steering wheel control cable , on the comet power cable , there is a Key 1 brown and key ground to the blue/orange and blue/purple wires. 4. Reverse light signal (Trigger wire) for rear camera. The Comet has a REV1 and a REV2 but signal is connected to REV 1 5. When tuning FM make sure that AF TA or PTY are not selected as this reduces the stations found on first scan 6. Factory settings you need it to change some basic things like boot logo – Password is 126 7. Manual can be accessed here CLICK HERE Last edited by Radioguy; 4th August 2017 at 16:57..

Key 1 brown and key ground to the blue/orange and blue/purple wires in the car loom......matters not which way round Also just to correct the above that Sean posted. Reverse wires are not marked 1 or 2. One is solid orange and the other is orange with a black line, the latter is the one you use

Thanks Jeff.
So just to repeat my findings from the other thread and keep feedback in the right thread... this is my experience after less than 48 hours with it fitted so far (comparisons to previous Navall WinCE and Navall 3)

Does anyone know what the connector block for the steering wheel controls is called (i.e. what type it is).
Would rather not have to go splicing into the car loom if I can just graft a plug onto the Navall's wires... |

Quick progress report on the Comet having used it for a week or so and a few hundred miles. Initial impressions are confirmed in that, in my opinion, it is better all round than the Navall3, highlights being instant hot boot, better FM radio interface and smooth up to date Android OS. Totally agree with Big Ade's findings above.
I have also noticed that I am getting a stronger wifi signal from the my home hub when parked on drive. I was initially concerned that the DAB had no presets, but now that I have got used to it I prefer the new interface. Available stations are listed on the right of the screen in a fairly large font and it is just as easy to select from that screen as it is from small pre set buttons. Fitted front camera today - simply plugged into USB port and we were away. Good picture with time,location and speed data added. I might be missing something as I have only just started to use it but I can only find options on the installed DVR app to record in 5, 10 or 15 minute bursts. I was expecting the ability to continuously record on a loop. Has anyone found how to do this or can recommend a third party DVR app? Mike |
