It works, but it's cheap for a reason.

I don't have most of the problems I see in these reviews, but I do have a few. The first is minor but annoying. I can't set the time. Every other setting on this device is saved and I've had no problem resetting the memory, but the time isn't saved no matter what I try. I enter the time and about 2 seconds after leaving the input mask, it jumps back to 00:80. and why the hell is he going to 80? An hour has only 60 minutes. As I said, a small problem, but annoying. The second problem is more serious. When I try to use a map software on my phone through this device, the GPS doesn't know where I am. It constantly deviates from several hundred feet to several miles. This block cannot be used for navigation. Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, it doesn't matter. When I use the same apps through my phone that is not connected to the device, they work great, no problem. All other functions of this device work perfectly for me. I use it every day for Apple Music and Spotify via CarPlay. I constantly make and receive phone calls and send and receive text messages via Bluetooth. I listen to both AM and FM radio with no problems. I contacted support about both of these issues, but after several months of trying, I got no response. If you want a cheap CarPlay main unit but don't care if you can actually use the maps or contact support if you run into problems, I would definitely recommend this unit. Otherwise, it's better to spend a few euros more and buy a Pioneer.
