Finally installed the unit yesterday and for some reason the fm app can only output audio in MONO not stereo.
Has anyone had this issue? I tried playing music off a usb and sd card and both work fine and in perfect STEREO. Spoke with the support at ca fi and they suggested downloading another radio app!!! wtf!!!. However the one that comes with the unit is this is the best looking offline app that supports ca fi cardroid cant find another that is not internet aka offline. Anyone got any ideas really sucks. Im running android version 4.1 not sure how to update |

Got mine today and just finished installing it. Personally I thought the install was a bit of pain - took me and a friend about an hour... but I've never installed a new head unit on a car before so no idea how it compares to others really.
Getting the brackets from the OEM unit in the right location on the new unit took a lot of trial and error, and eventually the location we settled for meant we could only fit 1 of the 3 original bolts back on to hold it in place. Also needed a bit of wiggling and brute force to get the whole thing to fit back in to the hole that the OEM unit came out of to the point where we could fit the screws back in and actually fit the carbon trim/fascia thing back on over the top. Oh and there seemed to be a lot of wires left over that went in to the OEM unit that don't fit anywhere in the back of this one, so we just left them unplugged and everything seems to be working fine... apart from the USB port that sits at the bottom of the dash. I did a quick search and it seems like I need to get a converter (mentioned here) to sort that out, but its kind of annoying as this unit was sold as a complete plug and play kit where I wouldn't need to buy any extra adapters or converters. One other disappointment is that the volume knob is now even harder to accurately turn than the OEM gt86 one was (which was already a nightmare on bumpy roads due to how small and smooth it was). Whilst the new one does have "notches" so that its easier to accurately turn, its still quite small and I find its harder to grab now because the carbon trim around the head unit gets in the way on one side. This might not be an issue for people in LHD cars as I noticed the knob on the side closest to the driver doesn't suffer with this problem as much and presumably in LHD that would be the volume knob. Anyway, complaints out of the way, using the actual unit itself seems great. Quick to start up and nice and intuitive to use. Pairing my phone with it to play music through bluetooth was quick and easy, and so far seems to work well and sound slightly better than it did before. Need to download google maps and some other apps before I can fully comment on how well it works in other aspects but so far so good
