IDOING UIS7862 with WRX[Updated with initial review]

[gottahavit]

Thanks but why do you think the gray is the top left of the sticker pic? The side of the harness I am showing is the non-clip flat side of the connector which is the left side of the sticker pic. Wouldn't that make the far white wire the upper left of the sticker pic?

EDIT: I think I'm just dumb..let me look at it all again lol.

Were you able to get it working, did it help the noise? Hoping you didn't cook your stereo!

Hey sorry for the delay. So I haven't wired up the noise filter yet because someone on a Subaru forum told me to try removing the small blade connector bracket from the back of the OEM HU and screw it on the back of the iDoing and connect the factory ground wire connector to it. I hadn't done this or thought to try it so I did and unfortunately it didn't make any difference. He thought because I didn't have the ground connected that some noise was comig through from an unclosed circuit of sorts, but no change sadly.

I will still try the noise filter, hopefully today or this weekend. Shouldn't take long. Not too hopeful but you never know. I will report back.

Question for you - have you figured out any way to re-enable the notifications in the iDoing's custom ROM without root? Obviously they customized it to totally disable all notifications from happening at all or showing up in the pulldown shade. It would be nice to be able to have certain apps show up like they intend to like PowerAmp (for current song playing) and messaging apps. Any idea if this is possible? I have yet to do the ADB commands to get System UI Timer working but I don't think that will help at all.

I'm actually working on an app(who's main purpose is different) that will provide system overlay notifications to be displayed. There are other apps that allow this as well, tho I've had issues keeping them running on the IDoing. The main purpose will be to mirror notification from your phone without needing a cloud service like the others that do this, but it will also allow you to show the notification you get on the HU.

That's cool. I actually just downloaded Mighty Text on my iDoing to at least get texts on there and thankfully it has a popup notification window option..otherwise I wouldn't get any notifications from it and would have to go to the app manually to see anything. Would be great to have ongoing notifications of things like music and certain messaging apps like I said in my last post but so far no solutions for that on this custom ROM...
Let us know more about your app when you have it!

So I'm trying to figure out where to splice in the noise filter. If the yellow wire is the 12v batt+, I see that it branches off from the main HU connector to two separate yellow wires (one to the Canbus and one to the white connector that connects to the factory harness. Where should I splice in the filter? Not sure whether to cut the yellow after the two yellows join, in that small length before the final black HU connector (not much wire or space to play with there) or somewhere before that at either of the two separate branched yellows. What do you think?

Also where should I wire the filter's black ground wire to? Should I remove the connector from the stock HU chassis ground wire and splice it to that or is it supposed to be spliced into the HU harness's ground wire that goes.to the black connector? Or somewhere else entirely?

personally I'd wire it as close to the plug on the HU as possible if it's to have any benefit you don't want any chance of contamination after the filter before getting into the electronics of the HU.

Thanks. What about the ground (see my last post)?

I would wire both right off the plug to the HU, it probably doesn't really matter, but that's what I would do. I am skeptical that any of this will matter as I can hear differences in the static based on what's running for apps in the HU(High CPU more weird sounds). What is odd is that it doesn't increase with the volume, which would imply something being introduced post-DAC,, post-AMP which would make me think maybe Ferrite on the 4chan would be best bet, but again it's probably too late. I suspect it's internal interference inside the box post-DAC./AMP

I hope you find the solution, but I suspect only way to solve is to run spdif to a DAC or DSP/AMP, which if you don't have the HK system, would be a pretty good Add to the car. With my HK i'm pretty sure I'd spend a bunch of money to get spdif->RCA->Spkr Level to get to the HK AMP and probable end up with some really messed up sound quality. In my corvette it just wouldnt be worth it as I always drive with the top down and at highway speeds I mostly just care about loud! ;-)
