Group Buy / EOI new generation DNS head units (RNS-510 alternative)

[wanxu]

Let's wait until Sandy returns. I'm sure they can solve all the issues (I mean even sending new bug-free units, not just software updates). It seems they manually assembled some units to speed up the request...

The problem is that Audiosources told us the unit would be available sooner than it was. It's her fault and Sandy's fault for believing them. You all know how the front people work while the back people are still developing things...

I have experience with another chinese units. I bought a unit early after it was on the market, and some weeks/months later they changed the hardware architecture to solve some bugs and mine became an early pre-release unit with no support. This was with the unit already on the market! They were still making changes to stabilize it. That's why I am not still on the group buy. I know how they work, and it will take time to have full working units.

Those who already have the unit. Can you release some videos? Specially iPod playback! Thanks

Under the menus, there is general, under that I believe is the restore to factory defaults.

Sweet, cheers

Second question, how exactly should I connect up the reverse camera? Bit confused, the instructions make little sense.

Back of the unit has:
Video In
Reverse
BBattery
Ground

Camera Has:
Yellow Connector -> Long cable with Yellow connectors on either end, but then a short red wires coming out of each connector and then ending in bare wire (???)
Red Connector -> Long cable, one end red connector, one end bare red and black wires.

So it's obvious that the yellow connector is video in, but what are the short red wires? and then what does the bare red/black wires coming out of the red connector get connected to? Black is obviously ground, but what do the red wires go to?

It shouldn't be this hard, but apparently it is haha.

Anyone?

I'll get some videos up tomorrow/sometime this week if I have time. It's fairly basic/buggy at the moment, as described in my spreadsheet above. Either way it shouldn't matter to me, since i'll be controlling it on my phone, rather than via the unit.

Hey guys. Anyone else from Sydney not received their unit yet?

After keeping an eye on the thread the last couple days was expecting it to arrive today at latest, took some time off work and no postie slip in my letterbox. Went to the post office just in case and nothing there either. I suppose it'll come tomorrow but shouldnt it have already arrived?

Yea, I just got home(I'm in Adelaide), and mines not here either, how many still waiting??

I'd say its down to auspost/startrack being useless

I'd say it is. I've had eBay stuff from other capital cities to BNE take 3-4 days when it should be 2.

There's also the possibility that Sandy's dad didn't get them out until yesterday.

The postman must have got lost cause I still haven't received mine. Anyone in Melbourne receive theirs yet? Have been following this thread closely but haven't been saying anything at all. Hope all goes well and there is an explanation for all this at the end. I was actually the one who took somebody's place as they were waiting for the dns610 (lucky him)

Considering I only got mine today, and it only had to travel 15km, i'd say you're at the mercy of Auspost :p I'd say you guys should be getting it tomorrow...ish.

I've been reading the latest posts with great interest. As someone who signed up for the early batch I understood that there would be some software issues that could be fixed with a firmware update, the hardware issues are what concerns me.

Its near impossible to unplug the CANBUS each time the unit freezes..etc.

I'm interested to hear what Sandy has to say about these issues.

I'm going to put my CANBUS issues down to me ****ing around with the hidden options. I've started up and shutdown my unit a dozen times since doing a factory reset (a few of those times sat there for 20mins with the engine on, messing with the GPS skins), and it's worked fine since then.

The hidden options are probably hidden for a reason :p

Just before I got mine unistalled.. I finished work at 7 pm.. I went to start me car and the battery was almost dead.. I finally got it started...
I know it was not my battery because the curves only 6 months old...
So be careful I think the unit does drain your battery.
