Well that's the end of that...

I wouldn't recommend this HU to anyone. I received my first about a year ago. On arrival, most of the hard buttons did not work. Had to ship it back to China (which Ca-Fi did pay for). It looks like they sent me a new one.

Worked ok for a while but had its limitations (no accelerometer, terrible radio reception, so-so sound at best, crashing apps, had to sideload most good apps, limited bluetooth profile, need to reboot every so often).

A month the backup camera died. I assumed a wire came loose. No - Its the HU.
Two weeks ago - crackling sound for a few days, then no sound. Thought it might be the amp - nope its the HU.

Definitely not worth the aggravation. I put in a relatively cheap JVC HU ($140, no GPS etc.) and the difference in sound quality was night and day. I will absolutely miss Waze on the HU but that is the only thing I will miss.
