I have what is hopefully a simple and straight forward question. I purchased this unit about 12 months ago https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot...&orderId=87843158798481&productId=32807153130 and I have both a DVR USB Camera and DAB+ Module connected to the 2 USB ports on the rear of the unit.
It appears that one of the USB ports is faulty, so I can only get reliable DVR or DAB+ but not both. If I were to buy a small, simple USB Hub like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/keb...-Splitter-Hub-Adapter-For-PC/32889011052.html, connected it to the working USB and then connected the USB Camera and DAB+ Module to the hub, would this work?
Thanks for reading!
I'm not certain if it works correctly on Android 6, but on my unit that has Android 8 i have a similar USB Hub connected that has a memory stick, the TPMS receiver and the receiver for a wireless keyboard, they all work correctly.
Taking into account how cheap a USB Hub is, i think it's worth checking it out.
Also, i managed to get one of the USB connectors into the glove compartment and connect the USB Hub into it, so the devices are easily accessible but not too visible.
Note, if you can take the unit out and send it to a service, they can probably fix the USB connector (the one that doesn't always work), it might have a loose connection, they sometime come loose and can be resoldered to the motherboard.
Also, if you open the unit and check the motherboard, some units have a 3rd internal connector that needs an adapter, not all of them though.

I just bought a 2nd gen unit to use in my car. I am planning to install it inside using OTG and all that fun stuff. I will also be running my audio out of the USB port (as the audio jack gets that feedback noise from the engine). The issue is the Nexus 7 barely fits in my dash. There is no room to plug a USB cable into the port (even an L shaped one). I know I could do QI charging and clean up the audio from the audio jack, but I need the USB port for the various in car features (turning on quickly and the like).
Looking at teardowns of the 2012 model, it appeared to be easy to move the USB port. In my own stupidity, I didn't know there was a 2012 and 2013 model. It appears the 2013 model is built very differently (h ttps://ww w.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+7+2nd+Generation+Teardown/16072) and I am not sure how I would go about moving the port.
I am willing to leave the back off the unit, or even just drill a hole in it as it will be mounted inside my car permanently. But with how the cables are attached to the PCB that has the USB plug, I can't easily move that PCB (see: h ttps://d3 nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/T1bQFwmsYTXKYX11). Is my only option to somehow create some kind of extender cable for the USB port, solder that onto the PCB and then put the USB port at the end of that? Am I missing an easier method?
Thanks! (Sorry for the non-clickable links. Stupid anti-spam features won't let me use links yet).
Did you ever figure this out?
I've got a Seek Thermal CompactXR infra-red camera that I bought recently and since it has a micro-usb connector and the 6P has a usb-c connector it needs an adaptor. Got the recommended one by Seek - VicTsing - but it does not work, the camera will no connect to the phone.
The camera works fine, I've used it on the girlfriend's phone.
I've also got a small usb inspection camera that runs off a micro-usb port on a mobile phone, but it too doesn't work on my 6P.
So I'm beginning to think that something isn't working properly with the usb port on my phone, not sure if it's a physical problem or something in the soft/firmware set-up that I need to click or unclick, etc.
Any ideas on how I can fully check that the usb port is working on the phone please?
Anyone?
Make sure you use a compatible USB-C to micro USB adapter. Not all of them will work properly. I also remember something about Google didn't want adapters to work, that's why you'll need a cable I think. What kind of adapter are you using?
As mentioned in my post, it's a VicTsing and is recommended by Seek. It's a USB-C to Micro USB converter.
I recently installed a 8227L unit. on the back there is one 4pin USB port and one 6pin USB port.
According to the pin out here
drive.google.com/file/d/12bPcFU3NChV-zyOzuW3IhEot1Td3Rl8Y/view?usp=drivesdk
The six pin USB provides two separate data lines and shared the power source.
Has anyone made modifications to the cable that the kit provides (a single USB port like the one in the following image) and make it support 2-USB connection on one cable?
drive.google.com/file/d/12q22FjffQS9q6GcjRyC0YTLXAJbvZcH1/view?usp=drivesdk
I am hoping to learn that this modification allows the two USB devices, connected to the head unit can work at the same time.
My plan is to hook up both the front and rear USB dashcams to this USB port, and leave the other USB port ( the one with the four pin cable ) for DAB+ dongle or a USB storage.
Did you try this? Did it work?
It looks like this kind of cable is available from AliExpress:

I never seem to be able to download anything from Google drive, it always wants me to create an account. It shows 'page not found' for that one anyway. I'd be interested in seeing that pinout, the AliExpress picture is not on the correct angle to see which wires go where and the URL doesn't link to the actual sale to see if there are any other pictures there.
Could you post the pinout as a picture here in the forum?
I see the ethernet is actually a daughterboard, which is connected by a ribbon cable. Anyone think there is a chance this is just a USB-to-Ethernet hub? If it is, it would be an easy mod to swap over to a USB port, which would dramatically enhance the functionality of the non pro version. Why they didn't do this in the first place amazes me... it looks like a 10 pin ribbon cable though, so not sure if it's USB...

I'm interested in adding a USB port myself. But the mainboard has a Realtek chip (according to photos at fccid.io), which I assume is an ethernet chip. I have however seen people mention a soldered USB connector somewhere, but I haven't been able to find where.
Did you ever manage to find something out? I'd be happy even with SPI.
Can't you just use an OTG Y cable? Considering that is how the Firesticks handle USB via its micro port I don't see why Nvidia wouldn't have done that as well. Course I have the pro so I know nothing about the tube.
Hey guys
So my headunit that I put inside my 2004 E46 does not support Apple CarPlay from the start.
The unit runs android (10)
I bought a adapter and tried to install the app that It comes with but nothing… no signal.
So the issue seams so be that there is not enough power coming out of the USB port from the headunit.
When I use a splitter and plug the end for power into the lighter usb charger and the data one into the usb dongle it works no problem but it looks ****ty …
Any way or any adapter that I can get this fixed with?
