Not as advertised but imperfections can be fixed

First of all I'm keeping the device despite the bad review. (Life prevented him from returning) Most of his shortcomings can be circumvented. Keleda customer support was top notch and quick to respond. The boot time of the device is about 20 seconds. GPS fix in under a minute (faster than some other devices I've used/installed). The radio was quite powerful, there wasn't too much lag, and the touchscreen was responsive.1. The operating instructions do not reflect the possibilities of the device. So just throw it away (down to the last page) or you'll be really disgusted. The user guide covers things like changing the wallpaper (which you can't do) and changing the home screen (which you can't do). 2. At least the radio I got had some of the wires mislabeled from the factory, make sure you use the wiring guide at the end of the manual, that's the only thing that's correct. The picture you see (clock, video player, BT icon, google map, FM radio, music player, app drawer) is what you will receive. You can't rearrange, add, or remove widgets, icons, or wallpapers, although the product listing, instructions, and radio settings indicate they can be changed. (Verified by Keleda Support)4. Do not update system apps from play store, otherwise the device will not work and you need to do a factory reset.5. Be sure to change the time and radio manually from China to your time zone, otherwise you will have trouble. Once you change it manually, the automatic time can be activated and work properly .6. The WiFi range is about 20 feet. Consider using your phone as a hotspot.7. To install the radio, you need to long press on the station until it appears in one of the presets. Then you have to long press it again to save it. You will receive a confirmation message. This is not covered in the user manual. And the support was not aware either.8. You can (and should) change the launcher (search the play store for an auto-launcher) which will fix most bugs in the background and apps you might be using. The Factory Launcher is still not as good as other devices I have installed or had.9. Didn't try to add the included rear camera, I used the one installed previously. The clarity is not as good as the previous camera.10. I'm missing the volume control on my previous device. You might want to consider a device with a volume control.
