Newbie questions for product support - CarBox

Finally, (almost) all items are arrived.

One easy question for assembly: VIM4’s heatsink is fixed by 4 screws:

They seem to prevent me to add the “M2X” board:

Can (/shall) I remove/peel off those orange “pads” from the M2X board (they would be grounded together on these spots):

Thank you!

Hello! Please reply to my earlier question, thank you!

Moreover: it seems I’ll be utilize a professional audio amp in the car which needs SPDIF signal feed.

I know SPDIF is available on the GPIO header. But how can I “convert” it to proper SPDIF out?

Like this one:

Thanks!

I think you need to make a conversion line yourself. One side can be connected to the socket, while the other side can be plugged into GPIO.

oowow is ready to go on the brand new amazingly beautiful FHD OLED panel!

Soon I’m having some trouble with setup procedure.

VIM4 doesn’t seem getting online. DNS is not working for it.


# Internet
DNS:
STATE: NO_CONNECTION

I connected it via wire.

In my router I can see both outgoing and incoming (reply) packets to an NTP server and also to other servers and services.

What shall I check/do?

Moreover! In rescue shell, I can ping ANYTHING! DNS works as intended. Owoow is buggy!

@william.lin: by any chance do you know how this module (RM520N-GL) should be wired to the antennas?

It has 4 antenna pins.

I can buy something like this:

But none of this seems a “GPS antenna”, at least what I’m used to:

So do you have any insights on how can I use this module for proper GPS positioning by adding a sophisticated antenna to it? (Possibly with a bit longer cable in order to place the antenna correctly).

@william.lin: I just came across to a bit more serious problem:

In play store I searched for “Waze”. It’s a popular navigation app.

But play store shows me:

Looking for Waze Navigation & Live Traffic?
This app won’t work for your device

Is this something we (or you) can fix?

Solved by installing from apkpure. :slight_smile:

@william.lin:

I’m seeing a VIN input of 9-20V on the user’s manual:

Can you please share:
1.) Pinout (4pins)
2.) Matching connector type

Thank you!

Hi @william.lin: can you please reply to my previous question?

Thank you!
