1: Probably worth a shot.Wuz up fella's
I just received a TomTop as a gift last week and just wanted to ask everyones input and advice without having to read ALL 44 pages of this thread....
1) Should I even bother installing this unit ?
2) If installed, do I need to update anything right away ?
3) What "bugs" are still present and is there anything that is being rectified.
4) OPEN to any and all suggestions from fellow owners on what I am in for.
Thanks for any and all help...PLEASE help keep this informative and not a bashing session...
1: Probably worth a shot.
2: They probably shipped you an out-dated firmware. You can go on the website that's in my signature to update it. (It fixes the Temp back to F and the Chinese Play/Pause buttons, and some Chinese stuff back to English)
3: On some HU it'll crash with a Chinese Message because there's not a lot of NAND/RAM space. (Hardware related)
4. It can't show properly the date when you push the Volume knob to turn off the radio. The brightness can't be saved only if the headlight knob is on the "OFF" position. You'll probably have to find the wire on the HU harness and cut it off to be able to save your desire brightness. There's no WiFi at all. I managed to build a dongle with a specific chip. It works but the OS won't save my driver after a reboot. You can update the GPS (same it's on the website http://stangatx.tk/ )
How do we get to this update?
Is the On Connected fixed the upper left hand side when bluetooth is connect? Is the chinese play character fixed as well?I just installed my Tomtop unit and it worked flawlessly right out of the box. Yay! Then I did the updates, and map update from StangATX's site. Again works flawless, and corrected issues! Thanks for giving support to this unit.
For $250 it is definitely worth it.![]()
I honestly don't know. I installed the unit, made sure it worked, then immediately installed StangATX's updates, and map.Is the On Connected fixed the upper left hand side when bluetooth is connect? Is the chinese play character fixed as well?
Hey, thanks for your efforts!I honestly don't know. I installed the unit, made sure it worked, then immediately installed StangATX's updates, and map.
But yes everything is in English. And it does tell me my phone is connected.

This was what I was asking lmaoHey, thanks for your efforts!
Just out of curiosity, it looks like this update will revert the "Connected" back to "one Connected"
Has there been an update to ensure this doesn't happen? Thanks in advance!![]()

Absolutely! Thanks again for all you do!IF someone can send me a backup of the .xml from my latest update I'll fix the one connected. I don't have much time lately. I'm even a little slow for the Tesla HU development. Sorry guys...
