So much to learn about this stuff. Good news is I have found out the husband of one of the woman tat I work with is an IT guy and has rooted lots of android stuff so he might be able to help me.

.

Would it help if I made a video of it start to finish?

Yeah baby!!!! Although to be fair your instructions are pretty clear, I'm just nervous that I'll brick it!

That works. Most of them use a Fresscale Cortex-A8 based board. That processor has been ported to death from what I've seen.

In all the screenshots that I can find the list of your bookmarked radio stations are displayed by their frequency MHZ number.
Doesn't the RDS function can show the station's name instead of the boring frequency number?

Which unit is that @krikke?

krikke · 04-16-2013, 06:27 PM

@nzer

It's the previous mentioned Xtrons.
http:// http://www.xtrons.com/GPS-ca...er-TD610A.html

It uses resistive screen.

I'm showing the capacitive as $445, plus another $65 in shipping - so $510. I might as well get the better looking one from eBay!

Same shipping deal to Aus!! 65$!

I emailed tradesolutions to see what other options on shipping..thought 65$ was a bit steep.. they came back saying they can do 45$ on DHL... though need to order through email and pay via paypal... rather than through their website... not too sure if thats a good idea... =(

Just scouted a promising looking unit that will be sold under the brandname 'Pumpkin':
http://stores.ebay.com/Pumpkin-Car-Stereo

Should be released in a month or so and they claim the unit will support OBD!!
In the teaser video they actually have Torque installed!

Also the screen appears to be capacitive and the UI looks really slick...

PLEAAAAASE make a universal model with red LED's!

Enjoy:

That looks really smooth. I will have this if it comes out and supports USB OBD2!

That could be the one @krikke

Have you got a link to the exact unit on their website as the link goes to their whole store.

Thanks mate, looks like this one may have cracked it if it not only supports OBD2 over bluetooth but OB-LINK as well
