It doesn't make sense to me, TBH. If you were the pioneer that brought this crap out perhaps its was the initial batch that had issues? There appears to be some folk with models that are running ok. Is it the 2g Ram models that were not available in the first batch, this alone will make a huge difference.
What was reverse engineered? did you examine the code? as I read the full thread, my understanding was that initially there was no support for premium cars.
the car functions appear to work fine. its just slow, if some have experienced buggy software it could simply that they installed programs that have caused problems or are too impatient to wait for the device to settle after booting up (which I personally guessing is the major cause of all the issues)
My curiosity is worth satisfying, spending the money and giving it fair go, sounds like your experience is obviously negative but opposite to the experience some others have had.
In my opinion, this unit is the only decent option of an aftermarket flexible device (plug and play) that one can use with a aftermarket power amplifier, removing the factory rubbish via preamp outputs without the need to flatten the signal by reprogramming the ACM. I like the way it looks, I do not like the other options available. I like the native android with full flexibility.
If you run it with a rechargeable battery that keep it alive and prevent it from needing to continuously boot up each time you start your car I believe it will keep the device stable and avoid the 45sec boot delay. This can be done without draining your car battery.
I also noted that those that haven't found issues haven't installed different launchers and left it stock (it appears) Previous responses have also indicated that they are unaware how to factory reset the device. This is an important point. One needs to factory reset the device if it becomes buggy due to installing software etc. You cannot reply on simply uninstalling software and think it will fix the issues.
I also wanted to add a point that if the car is turned off does this simply kill the device power? this can in itself be the cause of OS issues. The OS power is cut there is no proper shutdown process. So if the device has a battery backup it will not need to shutdown and it will not cause issues. - These are just my thoughts.
I have no experience with the unit, but it just sounds like there are too many anomalies to just simply write this chapter/thread off.
