Great, Ill check that out too. But what about my second question? How do I get the tire pressure to show up on the unit? When I get to the tmps screen, it just shows it pressure as blank

Do you know if there are any plans for FlyAudio 3.0? It seems like there's still sooo much missing from the current unit.

You can change to Fahrenheit to Celsius in the TPMS settings, this is where you will find it.

Awesome got it swichtech to celsius as well as metric. My unit has not start up logo, no Flyaudio just blackness to the disclaimer prompt? Wondering if this is how it is or if I can change it, also wondering if you can change the backround of the unit to a personal picture or if black is the only option.

The start up logo is missing due to installation of an update. You can download the logo tool on FlyAudio's website and change the background. Here is the link; you need to click on function:

Also will this tool let me change the backround on the unit at all times or just during start up?

Hello, first of all apologize for my English, but I had to use a translator. I own a Lexus IS European version, I live in Spain and about a year ago bought a second-generation unit FlyAudio in store carlighttrends. The first few months the unit worked fine until one day started to continuously restart being unusable. Contact David carlighttrends and gave me an update that managed this problem. Here David offered a quick fix and I could fix the problem.
After that I started to see how the radio stations themselves were changed for no reason. So I asked David a new update on the computer and I read on the forum that these problems had been fixed by FlyAudio. David told me a month ago I sent the last update, which installed a week ago.
My surprise was that when you install this update the computer can not read music files I have on the SD card, so that the function of the stereo mp3 stopped working. Also radio frequencies are changed randomly and normally I can not hear the radio.
Last week I contacted David carlighttrends, but still did not answer, so I'm worried because they can not solve these problems and not have an update to work properly.
I wanted to ask for help from anyone with the last update and you can send it to me and tell me if your unit is working properly. I've also read that FlyAudio is changing some cables to solve these problems, so I understand that the store where I bought the multimedia unit, I have to send these cables to meet the guarantee.
I want to conclude by saying that this unit has to be updated to work correctly, and that seems wrong to sell a product with a high price and not work properly.

I hope this message is understood, it is translated with google translator.
Greetings

I'm sorry to tell you this but I doubt Flyaudio will ever fix any of these issues. Hell they promised all sorts of updates and fixes but the only thing that came out of it was a generation 2 unit that seems to have more problems than the 1st unit (which I own) with no solutions in sight. Also the vendor who you bought this from can promise you this and that but in the end they are not the manufacturer and I highly doubt they know the windows CE software to fix the problems themselves.

With that said to those thinking about buying a Flyaudio I think you should look into the units in the alibaba thread as you'll be buying basically the same thing with similar bug for a hell of a lot less money.
