I don't see any difference with or w/o it plugged in. Cosmo told me it is only needed if the phone call quality is low.

Thanks,

I directly contacted Cosmo and he gave me a PayPal account. I paid $450 for the box with wireless carplay.

I just selected pay to family/friends, as Paypal doesn't really protect the buyer no matter what you choose if you are not buying from a website link.

What resolution and DPI settings are you running on HUR? I can't seem to find any that look good, it's either super small...or super big and grainy.

Hi Barden, you need to use the latest beta through XDA labs. Everything should work automatically -- but i fine tune to 720p and 130dpi

I bought that when it's on sale. So think Cosmo just gave the sale price. I just opened Aliexpress and found out that there will be sale in 4 days.

What is the name of this product? I got lost in these posts. What should i enter in google search to find this particular product? A generic google search results in Beatsonic products.

has anybody used the audio gain controls in the android box settings menu? ... i went +3 on overall volume, treb, mid, bass +7, +5, +7. It sounds remarkably louder and fuller for streaming music sources (spotify, xm app). The sound is much more muted with these apps compared to other inputs or even the iphone music app. I still want to make some adjustments ( knowing the lexus aux input sound equalizer can offset or amplify the android box audio gains as well). What settings are you guy using for your perceived "optimal" sound???
