Group Buy / EOI new generation DNS head units (RNS-510 alternative)

[XQUIZT]

I don't think we should be rushing to cancel our orders. The units that have been delivered are pre-production units and there will be improvements made before the final product is released (I hope)

Surely there must be some level of standard even for a pre-production unit.

So far the amount of bugs is beyond ridiculous, infact they aren't even bugs, the unit should be deemed DEFECTIVE.

Exactly!

I agree with this statement as well, I strongly believe these units weren't fully tested before they were shipped out....

I also believe that seeing how we are the beta testers that we should be given the option to trade our units in for the final release product. Make it fair to us testers, we shouldn't be stuck with 7-800 dollar potential paperweights

I think phrases like "not of acceptable quality" and "not fit for purpose" might be apt. You can't make a claim against advertised faults/bugs. But you can on non-advertised ones, especially if they are unable to be fixed with software.

True, the frozen white screen of death isn't s software fix, my static feedback in GPS no matter what form of music I'm playing i doubt is fixable via software.

I dunno, mines been working pretty fine so far, but i've just been driving around listening to the radio haha. iPod is being a bit funny with the not charging (seems to me to be a software bug, power pin is being turned off on playback, bizare), but yea.

Will see on the weekend with my big road trip (~1,000km) how it goes. I think i'll probably just load up music on an SD card and use that, and have my phone charging via 30pin. Annoying, but I dunno what else to do.

That's one thing I'll give this unit credit for, the SD playback is better than my clarion, it will at least shuffle the entire contents of the 'music' folder (with separate artist folders within) I have unlike my clarion which would only shuffle what ever artist folder I was in.

Cool, I haven't tried SD playback yet. Will have to give it a go this afternoon. I was hoping to just throw a stack of folders in it and have it shuffle everything haha.

The other thing is, the sound quality is significantly better than my old headunit and the other headunits i've had in other cars, can't really complain. I'm actually really happy now with the better sound quality output of the headunit plus the Focal speakers

Ok, tried SD today.

Works pretty well.

FLAC playback is supported (yay), but it doesn't read ID3/Metadata tags. ALAC (Apple lossless) doesn't work, though.

I've found that music playback is paused (???) when you engage reverse/reversing camera starts. Not sure why. It could be something in my settings, though? In the secret menu I have OPS turned off, Back on, and reverse volume level set to current.
