10 inch Android head units

Hi Jim ...

Couple of months on .. what's the verdict ...?

Worth it, still working ok ......?

[Jimboy]

Yep still going and after all my initial issues I'm happy with the upgrade from stock unit.

Using Spotify daily for a HUGE range of music. Poweramp also for my own mp3 files on usb sticks.

Only loss is radio stock app only does AM and DAB doesn't pick up signal reliably to the point that it is unusable. Neither of those
have been a deal breaker as I don't listen to radio these days.

Still happy using phone mounted on top of dash for Torque which is frankly a safer position.

Cheers,
Jim.

So no FM at all.... (Effectively)
Or do you think it might be an app problem
Did you chase it up with seller at all

That would be a deal breaker for me

Sorry that is meant to be I can get FM signal but not AM signal.

That was initially a worry for listening to the Summer Cricket but ABC
isn't able to come up with the money any more. I listen to it on the
Cricket Aus app and bluetooth from phone now or listen to SEN direct
on DAB when the signal is strong.

Have just got a little magnetic roof mount antenna that I'm yet to try for
a possible DAB signal improvement.


Regarding the 10" screen units I now see that Xtrons has an Android 7
unit out now and the Screen looks to be better finish; glass and rounded
edges.

Cheers,
Jim.

My DAB was hopeless until I put the free aerial it came with on the bull bar - transformed it.

I also had to do a connection over and above the plug and play to get the AM to work. Its in one of the carjoying threads somewhere.
