Review on πŸš— Ultimate Android OS Car Radio: VW Car Multimedia Navigation with 9 Inches Car Stereo by Jeff Islam

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Best sync phone with Android 10

Make sure you place the GPS antenna correctly, a good satellite signal is required to use NAV. Downloading EasyCon allows my Android 10 phone to connect to the stereo to mirror the phone's display. The orientation is you choose landscape or portrait, but my phone and stereo are at different resolutions so my image on the stereo is blurry. I can use all advertised features with certain reservations. The backup camera that came with the kit soon failed. It seems to show "no signal" most often, maybe the outlet in my car isn't making a good connection to the power source, I can't troubleshoot. The NAV software on board the stereo needs better GPS antenna placement so I can test it now. The DSP controls are excellent, Smart Bass, Loudness Contour and EQs are easy to adjust for great sound. In Mirror Link mode via USB app and EasyCon, the touchscreen on the phone becomes active, so the stereo screen is now driving my Android 10 Ulefone Armor X5. This device shows promise and is feature-rich, although the inconsistency and blurring of the display are disappointing. It plays .avi and .mp4 files from TF or USB. It plays .mp3 and .wav files. Fits perfectly with my Jetta 2007. Wolfsburg package. I think this device is excellent as a music player. I'll check again once I sort out the GPS antenna. Please note: Wi-Fi and GPS antenna connections are not marked. The top one is WiFi and the bottom one is GPS I think. I get decent WiFi reception. I'll try to update the device's firmware over a Wi-Fi connection to fix issues like resolution conflicts. I hope they release a patch. I had to add an HF filter to feed the cam as engine noise shows up on the rear cam display. The GPS antenna has been installed on the windshield and the NAV is working properly. I'm still waiting for a patch for the Easy Connection Mirror link.

Pros
