That's awesome! Great to hear you got a good deal. I believe this is the link to the where you bought it from? Is this almost identical to the 4x4shop? Looking to get this installed in my car!

Actually that link looks to be the older 2GB/32GB model per the specs.

I have the wireless carplay dongle and don't have any complaints with it yet (only been using it 2 days so far). No problems, works just as it should, very happy with it!
I think the only downside (not a big deal imo) to the wirelesss one is you have to open an app on the andriod unit to connect to carplay, whereas I 'think' with the wired one it automatically goes into carplay mode when you plug your phone in? I don't mind clicking 1 button to keep it wireless
Another thing I should note is I route all my sound through the stock unit, not through the carplay adapter, so I can't comment on sound quality using carplay, but I've read on here from others that it's not very good.
My new unit does not skip tracks at all, neither on the wheel or the track buttons on the stereo. 1 press = 1 track.

my problem starts with the connection, sometimes I’ve Issues with the auto connect, for example when Waze is already running on the phone before the system fully started the connection fail and I’ve to close waze an connect via the phone bt to the auto kit.
second thing is that sometimes the wireless connection drop and after couple of seconds re connect.
can you please go to the android wireless setting and take a photo, I’ve only 2 bars from the auto kit dongle, I think it’s because I haven’t connect the 4g antenna which I believe is also the WiFi antenna but I’m not sure, I’m still waiting for confirmation before I take the screen of an connect the antenna.

Can you confirm factory DAB radio is working as normal?
Also the behaviour of the screen brightness? is it linked to car headlights?

Do you have futures like split screen? Can you open two apps on the screen at the same time?
My HU (previous version - 2GB, CortexA53/8Core 1.4GHz+) starts over a minute. This new version of the device is much faster?

But I did not connect mt 4G Antenna either! Should we connect it? When I was unboxing and installing I assumed the 4G antenna would only be used if you paid for a monthly cellular service, like an ipad with cellular data. I did not think the 4G antenna provided free 4G?!!! If that is the case I need to go back and install it.
I never really noticed what my bars for the connection were, so I can't comment on that until I go look again, but I have not had a single disconnect issue yet. Maybe because my phone is mounted in sight and your phone is in the center console? Or maybe the 4G antenna would help?
So is the 4G signal free?!?
