If you still have this radio, a possible reason for the music cutting off is because many vehicles (possibly yours) have a small factory amplifier for the speakers which are wired to turn off with everything else. If you have one, try wiring the remote wire of the factory amp to the same remote wire on the radio/tablet
I had the 10.1 in a jeep wrangler . One of the speakers wires (front right?) Was reversed in polarity (negative where the positive should go) and that killed the base .. I swapped it and it wss 10x better than factory
Dude is all depends on where you get one from he bought a crappy knockoff off Amazon they're actually good brands of this product at work but if you buy a crappy Chinese knockoff you're going to get what you pay for. On top of that there's a bunch of settings on these units since they are basically a computer that you have to tweak. This guy did none of that which is why half the stuff wasn't working right
i bought it everything works fine but for better sound i changed out the speakers and i put a 8inch flat sub with built in amp under the back seat so it makes it have like two amps to up the sound mine is all carbon fiber you can order the overlay kit from jho any color for GPS there is a offline navigation that works great for this model an you can use DVR with it overall very good system for the price
Yikes... heated steering wheel, default Nav app, google maps not working right, worse sound quality, loss of factory options ...I think you made the right call returning it.
So, I'm at the sound shop & have the issue of the a/c connector not matching. They are scared to cut the notch to the middle, stating I'll mess up the warranty. I'm having them do it anyway & pray the ac works, like yours did in the video.
Thanks for the review! So, now it'll be coming up on 2 years. Any ideas on whether or not there's been improvements on these ? I would imagine there would have to be, but you never know. Also, the music could be a deal breaker for me, but I wonder if that might have been impacted by not having selected the "Cherokee High" setting? This might have set the system for a upgraded higher output audio system. Either way, they must have gotten that worked out - that would kill probably about 1/2 their sales. Thanks again for video !
I currently have a Linear Power SQL competition system. I try to replace the head unit periodically to showcase new technology. My current head unit is the Kenwood Excelon DNX995S. It can read more that the 2tb hard drive I currently have connected to the head unit. I am wondering if this unit you are putting through the demo can do the same. I have been spoiled by the Kenwood and do not want to step too far backwards in the advantages the Kenwood has. Not only it's large read capabilities but also it has 4k display which is great because all my music in the hard drive ( currently over 38k songs) are also in MP4 so they all have the live concerts and music videos in full view when playing. Thanks
Thank you for the review, good job. My concern with these full touch screen units is if they go bad, or a part of it goes bad. Then you lose AC and climate controls since you won't have the back up round old style knobs? Personally, and this is just me, I like the fairly big 8.4 but still the other half having the climate and other old style knob control section. I don't know enough about these newer units so that is also why I appreciate your review as I get to learn about them. The boot time is troubling....
Thanks for the review. The whole reason I'd want to get this would be to have bigger buttons to go along with the bigger screen. Even with the larger screen package they sell I have trouble trying to operate it while driving. I need big buttons if I want to be able to remain focused on the road since there is no tactile feedback like with the old analog way. It looks like though they kept the buttons the same size or even reduced them and threw a bunch of other junk in there to make it even more cluttered. Seriously, why have the A/C controls be in the lower 1/3 of the screen when you open the panel up? Make it full screen, or at least keep a banner maybe for the music. The home button for instance is the size of a fingertip when it there is enough room to triple the size and still have plenty of room. Really software side is pretty disappointing. Maybe in a few years they'll develop better software for it. Why would I want a picture of a Grand Cherokee to take up a whole 1/3 of the screen? They need to take some tips and tricks from Android.
What about the setting for the vehicle itself. On my 2014 summit i have a ton of settings like engine off options, rain sensing wipers, how long the headlights stay on after shutting off the car, easy exit seat, changing from US to METRIC, auto high beams ect... do you lose all that functionality?
Does this support apple car play? For me this would be one of several deal breakers. Just finished watching. Saved myself a small fortune for deciding not to buy for mi 2014 wk2. My unit would need to boot up fast and work every time fast. Head unit was replace under a recall a couple of years ago and now no complaints. Good review. Thank you.
is this the px3 or px6 version? which android os is this? early units may be buggy, later ones might be better. how is communication, service, and responsiveness of the seller? did you get it from ebay, amazon, or aliexpress?
This is how you keep passengers and kids from fooling with your A/C without you noticing. Lol. I leave mine in Auto. Once I set it I leave it at a specific temp and Auto mode makes it hotter or colder as needed.
If there is a malfunction in the sound it is probable that the system of your factory vehicle will be amplified. I think the mistake was not to investigate. Well there are options to choose from in these android systems. It is possible that before buying should consult the seller.
Does this device support all uconnect settings?1) Engine off options 2)Suspension 3) Safety and driving assist. 4) Lights 5) Doors and locks & Auto-on comfort ?
Thanks for the video I was looking for a radio like this for my 2013 to get rid of the factory radio but I haven’t seen anything good or anything compatible yet
thanks! I figured it would be annoying like this, I'm a techie and like fixing things, but while driving I need reliability! I also am curious if this thing crashes when I really need to change an HVAC control, or I really need the NAV directions. This review kind of sums up how its more of a novelty. Have you looked into the factory upgrade to the newer android auto? Here in Canada its thousands of dollars, and there is another system out there that adds android to the stock system, but also no real reviews out there. Anyways thanks for the detailed review, hopefully they eventually come out with an updated version
@@7NINER3 check out carperformance.se I think they're from Sweden. It uses your factory screen and you hold a blank area of screen to enter into an android user interface
Another issue i see is that the physical buttons on the bottom that control actual car funtions (eco on/off, traction control, parking sensor etc) are missing some depending on which features your Jeep has. Mine for instance has a Sport Mode button, which i frequently use, yet it's not on that panel, so is that in the screen software somewhere? or do you just lose it if you switch to this?
Hello, the search button in the spotify app is located at the bottom of the screen, the a/c part does not allow you to see it, what can you do in this case?
Hi , my rear camera is installed correctly and I have it on screen but when I reverse my car it don’t pops up automatically, can you please tell me why ?
No, I cannot recommend purchasing this. But, I whole heartidly respect what they are trying to accomplish; just needs more refinement. If a reputable company such as Sony or Alpine backed this, it would be a knock out of the park! So cool, so much potential!
Does your Jeep have quadra lift? If so, did this unit support it (jack mode, alignment mode, transport mode, etc.)? I’m looking into giving a newer PX6 Android 9.0 unit a shot.
Damn dude I feel sorry for you. I hope you didn’t spend too much for this. I’ve seen these go for $500 all the way to $2500. I would be pissed. It looks cool but I don’t like the the color of the display and it taking that long to boot up is ridiculous. And the buttons on the bottom is very cheap. Thank you for the review though. I have a 2015 Jeep SRT and I would be concerned about the engine performance settings. I don’t know if these have those installed in these tablets. Plus I would rather have one that is more apple friendly than android like my unconnect.

There are a TON of companies that make these. Also 90% of his issues can be tweaked in settings. Im sorry "my two cents" but you had no clue wtf you were doing lol.

These things are not just car head units they are basically a computer and require a setup process none of which this guy did. If you're not a techy don't buy one plain and simple.

I have one too but it is 13.3", I love it! The boot up time is long but that doesn't bother me. This is a great unit. In my humble opinion.
Who's is made by?
Where did you buy it from
What is the price of this
What year it’s the jeep ??? And where did you get upgraded
nav did the same thing but you go to setting advance and set to local then reboot

@@beautifulbritni21 did u choose one yet
So the AC climate module plug still plugs but to bottom button with hazard lights?
Thanks for this. Now I know not to get it but maybe someday in the future someone will make something better!
I just like how it looks. I always just listen to music so it’ll be a nice addition to mine
Hi .. i have bought 1 android same like you .. but mine dont have steering wheel heater .. what should i do ? Thanks ..
What year is the Jeep?
The steering wheel controls still works with that tablet installed??
Were you still able to find you air suspension settings still to turn it on and off for tire jack mode, transport mode, and alignment mode?
What wire did you use to keep factory back up camera

@@bpacheco6 thank you for the information I will definitely check them out 👍
Ray Michaud were you able to find anything on this site worth buying ?
You need to go into the system setting and turn on some setting for you speakers.
The new hardware are ridiculously fast. I wonder they will come out with it.
Does this still have all the Uconnect options and Apple car play? Like suspension, transport etc
tell us more about the fader problem and headphone jack you mentioned. Is audio output just a headphone jack?

Do you still have your uconnect? Mine crashed can't get it to work. I'd be interested in buying it.
So when you turn to off and it continues to play. Are you talking streaming? Will you continue to use data if you forget to stop the stream?
This shit looks awesome. I serch good radio but for older jeep wk 2 2006
Do you know if is good for jeep grand cherokee 2011?
Great review, thanks for sharing your honest opinion!

Yo what year is your Jeep Grand Cherokee bc I don’t see that on mine
Is it connected with mobile or separate SIM card? Is it wats up run ?

Can you change the wallpaper to a picture of your own?
Good question
No, unfortunately. There are ways to load another Android system that show to to do it, but I was not interested in doing that.
Does your Jeep have quadra lift? If so, did this unit support it (jack mode, alignment mode, transport mode, etc.)? I’m looking into giving a newer PX6 Android 9.0 unit a shot.
Did you give it a try? My head unit has been fried for a year now and still cant find a reliable replacement unit worth buying!
This radio needed maestro RR to flash car system
What about the sports mode button?
did you manage to pair it with the rear screens?
Nah, didn't get that far before the decision was made to revert back to the factory.
Wow glad I did not buy that seems to have to many issues . Looks cool but that’s about it

Amazon originally, but it's not listed anymore
can you still turn off your auto start?
It's EU spec, (I live in Germany) so no remote start option to begin with.
Just re-read that... My model year 2015 was not equipped with start stop
Where did you buy it from
3rd party seller from Amazon
Thank you
Really bummed it wasn't everything I was hoping for. I'll keep an eye out for the next release and review that one as well.
is this OEM?
no...its from a company called Belsee
