My exact concern with the questions I asked around HARDWARE for both additional MFD capabilities and Android MHL "link". Sandy, need you to confirm that these are absolutely going to be part of this unit's specifications. I am not naive enough to think newer models with newer technology will be inevitable in a year or two but.....

Here's a video of the software I got, which was released Friday. I'm told a new one will be released tomorrow. Sorry about how late this came, I had some issue updating my unit (I was doing it wrong, not the unit's problem) and at one point I thought I bricked it...

So there are still some flaws in this version, mainly SD not showing artist / album info, and video controls not yet having been implemented. Note though I played an .mp4 and .avi file both of 720p without issue, and the video is correctly scaled unlike the ANS series and all other head units I've come across. The unit supports up to 1080p video playback.

Sorry about the video quality, it's as good as I can manage on short notice with my phone. I've yet to show BT because well I'm using my phone to record the video, I'll upload a better one hopefully during the day in a couple of days with new software.

I realise this demo may not be the best example but it really showcases the unit's speed - it's very snappy, especially notable throughout the GPS software. I promise I'll make a better one, but right now I'm dead tired and I'm off to bed. I'll keep everyone posted about that second demo I'll make.

Agreed! Looks very nice Sandy. Could you try to include Bluetooth in the next one?

Ya I would be happy with it the way it is now. But we will wait....another couple weeks?
You didn't show the blue tooth. .but can you confirm it works? And does it show info in the mdf steering wheel?
