Calling this radio garbage would be an insult to all the garbage dumps in the world!

Wow! 8 hours of my life wasted. The first thing I did was carry my grandmother's Barry Manilow Greatest Hits CD around with me. and it turns out I can never give her the disk back. Why? Because the eject button does not eject! It loops through the inputs and when you toggle through the radio noise, the noise keeps duplicating. So if you're listening to BARRY for 8 hours and a few radio stations get in the way, you can go insane. Now, with almost 30 years of computer experience behind me, I didn't think radio could outsmart me, but it did! I've tried updating but since the radio won't connect and can't download anything faster than POINT FIVE Mbps you might even try to see if there's an update. Why? Because EVERY app needs. Well I really don't know how long because I gave up after the first 20 minutes. I don't know what processor and RAM it has, but I've NEVER seen anything so pathetic. Explorer does not play files from a USB flash drive, you can try, of course, but in order to play something, you need to transfer the files to the radiodisk. So if you have a 255GB flash drive, forget it. However, when you finally manage to transfer the video files to the internal drive, enjoy the picture because there is no sound. I even tried the VLC player. After an hour of waiting for the download and another 15 minutes of installation, it only played properly once out of 8 hours. Otherwise you will only get sound. The GPS works, but it's so slow you'll have to keep it under 5mph to keep up with your movement. There are no words to explain how bad this is. I'm pretty sure the original NES is faster than this thing. Oh yeah, did I mention how long it takes to load? Let's just say your car can warm up in the midwestern winter before this piece of junk finally hits the home screen. In the end, only the touchscreen counts. I'm pretty sure the update time is so slow because of the radio itself. Unfortunately I have to spend a few more hours with him tomorrow hoping to clear my email login details. Since gone, I can find a full reset on the thing. Look, right now, due to the lack of chips, I decided to give it a try. I feel sincerely sorry for the distributor of this radio. You will have a 100% return rate. What upsets me even more is that I paid someone to install it because I'm moving. Now I have to pay another $200 to have it removed. THANK YOU AMAZON FOR SUCH GREAT PRODUCTS. I just lost $400! To update. The instructions say to plug the USB stick into the back of the radio. There is no USB port. Also, the manual says to contact the company for email support, but there is NO contact info ANYWHERE! And just to try, I plugged the dongle into both USB ports for music. I hooked up a 1000Mbps radio to my home wifi and as soon as it worked I had 11Mbps. I also swapped out the radio in the hope that I originally had a faulty unit and although the Wi -Fi tapes show a 100% connection, I can't get the internet to work. The company says to use a specific supplement to get the best results, but no model is given. I paid $250 to install it, it cost me $250 to remove this complete piece of junk.
