Okay......I'm all in. I just ordered the unit from Canavie.

 

I have had mine installed for several years and driven in many 100+ days without problems. I still have NOT verified that the cooling fan is running but the screen does not feel warm/hot to touch like Vlad mentioned. So I think the fan is working correctly.

Installed my unit last night. All seems fine but I can't seem to get audio to work with the phone via bluetooth. They can hear me but I can't hear them. I can hear BT music fine, by selecting the AUX function on the Jag Stereo. In an effort to fix it, I reset the android system and that has created a new problem.... The ZLink Android Car Play system now needs an activation code.

Any suggestions on the BT phone audio? They provided a small speaker but I didn't install it. I've never seen a BT phone system use a different stand alone speaker.

 

I don't know if this will help but it is the factory reset instructions I got from Merryway. I messed up after my install and started clicking buttons without much knowledge of what I was doing and somehow got it reset to factory default settings which unfortunately for me put everything in chinese!

I was sweating bullets for a while as I frantically kept clicking button's to finally get it back to English. I did get it and there was not much to it in the end.

Kevin, I did the same and had panic as the entire unit switched to Chinese Language. It took a minute but I got it reset to English. The reset of the system disabled the CarPlay app. Andy reset the link and this morning I got it working. First step was to disable BT on my phone. 2nd was to start the system and link it to a Wifi connection. Once I did that, I started the CarPlay app and all was good. From there I reset my BT on my phone and all was good with Car Play. Sound works as long as I've set the Jag audio/video to Aux setting.

Regarding the phone system, Andy tells me it requires me to install the included mic & speaker as the Android phone system (app) can't connect to the Jag phone system unless you use the Jag BT as your primary system. I was surprised by this. I only installed the mic, so I guess I will now pull the unit back out and connect the speaker. My Jag's phone system has issues and that is one of the main reasons I wanted to swap the system out.

 

Thanks for posting how you fixed it. Always more to learn.
Yes I use the BT in the stock system too.

The provided wireless/BT app that was installed on the head unit seems to be a bit unstable, so I purchased a carplay dongle that allows me to skip BT connection. I tried it out today and it works much better. I have no need for BT connection and the sound quality is significantly improved. Cost was $60 on amazon.

 

If I may ask, which one did you buy?

 

Sorry for the late response..... look up CarlinKit wired CarPlay on Amazon. They also have a wireless offering, but I was trying to stay away from that since I'm always plugged in on my phone to charge the battery.

 

Thanks for that.

 

If/when you run into something like this in the future, you can use the Google Translate app. You hit the camera button and you can just point it at the text and it'll translate it for you live. It's not perfect as you'd expect but it gets the message across.

I had the same problem with a Kindle a while back and had to go all the way through the setup process in order to reset the language

 

Sure wish Vlad would come back and post if his trick worked to get the fan working?

I installed android head unit that it has PiVi Pro style. It boots up fast. It was very impressive that audio was output without a separate AUX connection.

 

How fast is "fast". Also, why is it "impressive" that it has audio output without a separate aux connector? No head unit should have to use an aux connector for audio output.

 

Does that unit also include the stock Jaguar cooling setup? If not it will over heat and fail in the dash?
Do you swap OEM cards into that one to preserve the stock functions?

We have had several different idea's to get the tablets booting faster (Fast Boot. Suspend Operations. ect.) but without any time mentioned how would we know if this unit boots any faster than the other units?

Saying it boots fast, without any time mentioned. Bragging about having audio without an aux hook up. Showing displays that are in Chinese instead of English. I have a feeling this is a vendor.

 

I'd love to have the bigger screen but I really don't care all the extra Android stuff. I have one of those UAD wireless Carplay units hooked into the OEM system and it works great (albeit with a few glitches every once in a while). I'd love to keep everything the way it is now but just have it translated to the bigger screen. Anybody know if this is possible?

 

no need aux

such impressive

very technology

wow

 

Has your unit over heated yet?
read above?

If you had to buy today, which unit would you get? and where to buy?
