@tonydata how was the install.. ?
There another thread titled "android headunit rear speaker fix. No extra parts needed" worth having a look seems to say you can adjust settings in some stereos to get rears to work.. Worth a try..
Nice one, cheers
@Suggsy1814, I'll take a look.
Install, super easy, 1 main plug and the aerial... Still not found out what the blue plug is for though, this is part of the main car wiring, not the stereo, so I have just left it loose. The removal tools for the OEM unit do not fit the new one so I have emailed the seller on this. The actual stereo fit I would say is about 95%, but reckon if I could get it out, I could improve that, it just drops by about 1/1.5mm on the right hand side, it's hardly noticeable tbh though.
Generally I think it's pretty awesome, although, the fact I can just turn on Spotify app via the screen and access all the music I used to have to plug the phone in to do (the main reason I bought the unit) is the awesome bit! Connected to my WiFi at home from the drive, DL'd the app, DL'd my playlists for listen offline, and that's it, all there to listen to, with MFSW control too.
I have played around with the onboard EQ a little, works really well. It powers my Focals nicely in the front and sounds great (rear speaker issue to try and sort, have also contacted seller on this). Radio I would say is ok, I didn't go DAB+ as, in all honesty, I don't really like listening to the radio anyway... It tunes, but it misses a few stations, prob just need an aerial booster. It also permanently shows the radio as on/frequency in the DIS too for some reason, even when the radio is not on and I'm listening to a different source, and it randomly retunes itself every now and again (not that I can hear it, I just notice it in the DIS) so will ask seller about that too.
I need to route out the USB/Wifi/4g leads to the glove box, they just plug in to the back of the stereo. Pretty sure there is micro SD on the front as well as being able to add more storage via the usb lead too.
Nav seems to work fine, it found my location perfectly well, and I added a destination and clicked route and it showed on the map, so this seems to work too. GPS receiver is just behind the stereo in the bulk head.
Torque works via OBD absolutely fine, not messed around with that too much yet either, but it all works and was already on the unit when I switched on... comes in via BT obvs.
DVD works great, there is a switch to turn on/off play video whilst driving.
It cuts out whatever you are listening to when you put it in reverse, a little warning triangle appears on the screen, assume the rear camera would if I had one!
The launcher/UI is pretty good, typical android really, like a tablet... I need to mess around customising this, plus, you can also DL alternative launchers as well, like Nova, I think just need to spend some time setting it up how I want it.
Look and feel, pretty OEM I would say, I think the font on the buttons could be reduced a little to fit with the other labels on the dash, but at night, it looks pretty much factory.
All in, I would definitely recommend the stereo.
