nice thanks! Was looking at that one too, bummer about January delivery though. Is the boot up and connection time pretty quick?

Connect time is pretty good, have used it on a few headunits and it's been great. Glad I got in reasonably early before real probs sourcing components affect them

15 seconds is pretty fast. How long does it take when it's slow? Does it ever not connect?

To me that’s too long. If the unit boots fast but takes another 15-20 sec to connect to CarPlay it’s too long. Because I’m ready to drive and now just waiting for Waze GPS instructions. It does connect sometime it will be half a minute but this kind of happens randomly.

Not sure what to say about this. Mine only said Waiting one time, on Thursday night. Other than that it always connects within 20 seconds, I'd say, once
Zlink appears, which seems reasonable.

I can't complain too much since they fixed lots of bugs with latest OS so I'm a happy camper.

The screen res isn't as good on Lexion as the Navihau, but the Lexion unit is far better in just about every other way, fast to boot, joystick is actually usable (unlike the other 2), UI is streets ahead. Android Auto works well (shame only Carplay is wireless, but unit works with AA Wireless module) So far seems to not be buggy like the other 2 are.
I ordered mine last week, guess I won't be getting it until November...

Got the new boot animation with the latest firmware (Sept 2021)

Super happy with the visual effect
