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

[MountainBikeMike]

By the looks of things, its going to be a stable machine. New Firmware has already solved some of the problems and they have found the source of the white screen

Mine is very stable. Some lighting issues on buttons, and bugs like not resuming after reverse, and iPod functionality being weird. That's about it so far

Totally agree. I only have the SD playback memory leak and the BT whine issues so far which are both being worked on so hopefully this thing should be good little unit once they sort it out!

I must say Sandy, you are handling this brilliantly.

It's obviously as stressful for you as it is for the early adopters but you're handling it very professionally given how long an ordeal it's been.

It does sound like there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Hear Hear!

Okay, so this machine is an unmitigated disaster with no sign of ever being stable. I feel sorry for anyone with one.

Those of you who've been sitting out: what are you looking at now?

Obviously those with problems have the loudest voices and tend to dominate this forum (which is totally understandable). It would be interesting to hear from the many with the pre-release units, who are quite happy and haven't posted anything. I guess that if they are satisfied with their units, they have probably moved on from this forum anyhow.

I'm happy with mine. There's only a few small issues that I have seen come up. I don't use GPS much. Had 1 small issue with that. But nothing major. No lockups. Had to pulled key once to make it reset. Apart from that its been smooth sailing for me.

I must say that I am cautiously moving forward with my unit. If it weren't for the calm and prompt responses from Sandy, I would have refunded my unit already. My deal breaker will be Mirror Link functionality with this unit. If AS does not pull through with this, I will working with Sandy to return my unit. This functionality was promised by AS/Sandy and I will expect it soon. I am still of the opinion that this should be provided to us, the early adopters, for free as it was in the spec we bought in to. Any word on this Sandy?

And even when apple release new iOS software, they have bugs and floors in it which have to be fixed with new updates.

Sure, but isn't this unit more like one of those $99 Android tablets that look great on paper but look and feel like suck up close?

Up close the quality is awesome, I don't think its like one of those dodgy android tablets at all. the screen looks amaze-balls and the sound quality is very good, and the unit has enough power for whatever you need to do.

on another note, I had my DNS do something weird today for the first time, I'll give all the details. Had the car sitting in the sun all day, no visor(forgot :/), and it was a warm day in Adelaide(30 degrees). got in the car driving home no issues, went over a bumpy bit of road(not sure if this is related), and the unit cut out and went to the welcome to VW screen, and after 3-5secs went back to the radio screen, but had all the info missing from the buttons and the display area at the top, re-booted and no issues. then happened again 5 mins later pulling into drive way. could be heat related?!?! maybe, as the dash was Bleeding hot when I touched it, or a sudden change in temp being just under the air vent and I had the A/C cranked up.

Ill see if it happens again this week as its meant to hit 40 on Thursday(kill me now).

There is no "from the many". Only 14 units were delivered in the pre-production in this GB & most have commented.

I had a few white screens today while running the GPS. Again, car was out in sun today so might be a heat thing. Radio runs fine, however as soon as I load GPS and it runs for a couple of mins it white screen (the slow fade to white).
