The radio works. For example, here in my area there is a radio station I litsen to (96.5) but on the unit is not 96.5 its 92.4 for some weird reason. Another radio station is 99.1 but on the unit is 96.1 they do work they just have this crazy patterns.

It looks like the radio stations are off by 3.
07awdis250, can you check what frequency starts and what frequency ends?

Not sure if there is an option to fix that in that system, but i remember that in the FA Thread, they had something similar and it was fixed by upgrading the bios of the system.

looks good, ui is not as good as flyaudio. seems that it is no faster than the fly audio unit. im sure they will have an update later on to fix the temp units.from c to f its a great buy at $480. i contacted fly audio and they are going to fix my unit, so ill be sending it back to repair it, sd card readrer is shot, usb takes forever to load.

My gps software or hardware may be acting up. When I start the car and press navi button starts to load Igo primo but i get an error after 10 to 20 mins of driving everything WORKS FINE. I placed the gps antenna outside the car to make sure is not the signal whats causing the problem but no luck.

Have you been in touch with the vendor for support at all?

Be careful with the SD card if the gps software is used on it. the Software site might require you to login to download or apply fixes. It is licensed product. I doubt the vendor would want to give you the login details rather send you a new SD card with the software preloaded.

I stuffed up gps on my other car chinese units thinking i can back it up and download the program but made it worse. Luckily the vendor help by giving me a new SD card.

Do a backup on the SD card now before anything else goes wrong atleast it's still working.

I'm sure the seller can send you another SD card. Lets see what they say.

i have that happen to me sometimes when im using the navi and i get a phonecall comming in via bluetooth but thats on my fly audio using igo primo 9.xxxxxx. all of these units will have issues, whether they have bios updates or not, its from china what do you expect. now if was a name brand unit and built by korea or japan companies then i doubt we would have issues. i personally think china makes the worst electronics . i know this because i consistantly install radios all day every day and the china made ones always come back! some dont even last a week. im still thinking bout that " amazing deal" for a 2nd gen flyaudio unit for $1299, lol even that has issues, so just because it cost more does not make it better. all of these units are junk period. it would be better to just retrofit a factory nav unit in and a viastech ml+ or the new android adaptor, at least that will work perfect.

The screen shot you posted shows the error when iGo Primo is starting. There is sys.txt file that iGo use which has necessary configuration settings for it load or start up properly. Can you post the contents of that file? Maybe they didn't correctly set it up and we can fix it.

For those of us with FlyAudio unit, we get an error when we receive phone calls over bluetooth. The reason is iGo Primo is capable of handling phone calls over bluetooth and it interferes with FlyAudio's bluetooth. There is a way to disable iGo Primo's bluetooth and I'm trying to figure it out.
