So this boot up thing still sounds little bit interisting for me. As on reseach prior buying the unit i have read that it takes 20-30 seconds. But in reality i don't even see boot logo, it just turns on almost instantly. It almost looks that unit wasn't off, though each time ignition is off, it says "powering off".
Apart from this i see only two issues with it.
First beeing fm radio - at random intervals i get silent pauses of ~1-2 seconds. Not sure if that's the unit or just transmission like this. Though reception looks better, cause near my home it was kind of dead zone before and now it is not.
Second is that car settings are always off and don't show what is actualy set. From what i can tell it is only visual glitch as it keeps all the settings as you set them.
As for the internet i understand that any usb dongle with sim should work (though while chatting wit Icebox, they recomended Huawei E1750). But at least for now i am using my mobile hotspot. Have tasker profile set that whenever i am connected to car BT it turns on hotspot and when disconnect - it turns it off. And now i have internet on the unit within 10-30 seconds after ignition (depends how fast BT connects and then wifi, per android nature it scans on some intervals).
The only thing missing for me (or at least i don't know how to do it) is the lock. Something like phone screen lock that i could enable when for eg getting my car to service.
By the way, i read somewhere that you can remap all keys on the panel as you prefer, anyone knows how to do it? I would like to change few from defaults.
