China is on holiday atm until like 25th of Feb, if they are china based in any way. Could be why. I think Im gonna order when they get back if I can get any sort of discount. What did you end up paying? Also does it use the existing aux? Mine died so wondering if i should replace it as well or just use the bluetooth now.

I use the Bluetooth and usb. it comes with two USB lines. I use a 2T portable hard drive and a flash drive for Music and video. it works great. I plan to do a video of the Unit and how I use it. i'm starting to get a good feel on how to control the heating and air part of the unit.

The Sygic gps that comes with the unit is terrible - at least the offline version is.

Btw, as for offline GPS. I dunno the version but with google maps you can download an area(or as many areas as you want) and it can use it offline. I used this all the time over the past like 5 years when working out of country.

The 1gb is worthless. It may not even run some apps correctly. I had to install a process cleaner to make things work. These units are generally the same and differ in screen and bezel for different models. The one I have has a terrible radio app, it will change the name of the radio station buttons as the RDS changes. I don't know what they were smoking to do something like that, your buttons look like random words from names of songs. You are also pretty much stuck with the radio app that comes with the unit.

I guess they do the climate control thru sniffing the can bus for functions and codes. If someone is determined enough you could probably automate everything on the car thru that interface (wipers, windows, etc.). I did something like that with my old Ford..was able to control the 4x4 thru the OBD dongle. I also see a graphic when the system is activated and a %age. No doubt the same could be done on this car too. I'm sure the unit has the hardware to read codes as well.

Wonder how hard it'd be to just use the same connection and put a new tablet in. 10" tablets are like a dime a dozen, any pics of the hardware that came with it and how it's all connected?

So what's everyone's verdict on these with 1g or 2g of ram? It seems pretty outdated from tablet standpoint but also still way more modern than the stock ones obviously. Just super expensive now at like 700+

I think the code only works for the Lexus GS unit.

Wonder if I can use the same wires at least. I'll order their camera since it's only 10$ and try both ways.
