They're all the same unit, with the exception of the changes in generation. "ViperTech" is just a boot logo that was added.I have a Viper version, 2nd gen HU, but it doesn't display the PP gauges on the home screen how the 1st gen used to; is it option on the Viper 2nd gen? how can I make it display, if so?
Also, do the Custom ROM downloads apply for the viper units
Yeah, they’re physically plugged in but didn’t show up when I started it up. It was a used unit I bought; thought about resetting but didn’t know what it would look like after a resetThey're all the same unit, with the exception of the changes in generation.

There was a walkthrough in the installation that shows how to connect to the gauges on PP cars.
AFAIK, the PP gauges themselves don't show up, just the speedometer.Yeah, they’re physically plugged in but didn’t show up when I started it up. It was a used unit I bought; thought about resetting but didn’t know what it would look like after a reset

Just curious, where did you get yours? Still wanting to pick one of these up eventually.I've had this radio installed for the past two to three weeks now. These are the issues:
1. Using the "Video" player to play music videos works but the video player crashes constantly in the background (at least one crash every 10 minutes) and the song always resets back to the first one on the list. This is the most annoying since I just download youtube videos to my car radio and play them as if they were MP3s. I keep getting the same damn song every time I start my car as well as every 10 minutes or so, the same song comes back on. I changed the first song on the list already, but have heard the new first song now at least 100 times in the past few weeks!! AHHHH... Maybe I should install a better android video player and find out how to replace the one that launches by default.
2. The speed and tachometer sort of work. The two gauges look cool, but the middle of them shows "0 MPH" and "0 RPM" all of the time. However, right next to these two gauges shows the actual working MPH and actual working RPM number. The 'needle' on the gauges also work, but the center of the gauges always reads "0".
3. I need to update Google Maps to work 'offline' since the radio does not have in-car Wi-Fi running all the time. The version of Google Maps is so old, there is no option to download the offline maps.
4. When I tried to 'update' anything, I had to install a new version of google services from the play store. Once this had updated, the video player would put a break in the audio every 10 seconds. I suppose the processor used is very slow and some other process was started that checks for something every 10 seconds with the new google services. I uninstalled google services and restarted the radio a few times and eventually this issue was resolved!
5. After trying to connect to Wi-Fi, I noticed the radio only connects to Wi-Fi with no password. If the Wi-Fi you try to connect to has a password, the radio can't connect.
6. After having Wi-Fi connected for a while, I think the radio itself tried to download some type of update. Now, everytime I start the car, about 30 seconds after the radio starts, I get a message "chime" that mutes the audio for a few seconds. No message is displayed. You can't swipe the top of the display to pull down the typical Android menu to check if there is some message that is trying to display each time you start the car since the SW guys somehow disabled that feature.
7. The Android version they used had many disabled Android features including the one to add your own image to change the boot screen. I still never found an APK that will allow me to change the boot screen to the one I created before I bought the radio. When I start the radio, I just get the default "Silver Mustang" picture until the radio boots.
8. The time/date and even Celsius/Fahrenheit settings like to randomly reset during startup. Sometimes, the time is off by a day or so and the clock is off by 6 to 8 hours. Sometimes, the radio goes back to Celsius by itself. Luckily, these errors only happen in the first minute or so after startup. After a few minutes, the time/date magically fix themselves again for some reason.
I'm sure there are many other issues, but getting navigation working and the video player to work were really the only two features I've been using. I did try the radio and it works ok. Too bad there was no option to have Sirius/XM radio like my old car radio. Also, would have liked a 'mute' virtual button somewhere so I don't have to keep clicking 'down' on my steering wheel to lower the audio when I need to quickly turn it down. I know that if I hit the minus button, I get a virtual volume control. I then can hit the speaker symbol on the left of the slider bar to mute, but that's one too many steps. I want a dedicated mute symbol somewhere.
