DNS series head unit (new generation dual core RNS-510 alternative)

Sandy when do you think the new units will be ready? My unit seems to be quite stable but I'm not using the current firmware.

Do you think there is any chance the monsun.exe error is temperature related. As I had it pop up twice within a minute of jumping in the car on a 40+ degree day.

Hmmm that does bring up another concern, what will these units do in the hot temperatures, we already know what they did in the cold temps, wonder if they will overheat and shut down or do anything funky

Well being 40 + for multiple days and this only happened once. Basically it got the monsun error as it loaded SD.
Then I shut it down. And started it again.
And about 30 SECS into the song it did it again.
Hasn't happened since. Might be coincidental.

It's been 35+ (and mostly 40+) degrees here since Christmas, and my car has been parked outside in the sun, and I haven't had any stability issues at all, so mine at least doesn't seem to be heat affected.

I'll still need to organise a replacement when I get back (first week of March) to Brisbane, though, for the BT issue.

Hey also, Sandy, how will the switch to 32bit effect the GPS software compatibility? As far as I'm aware most WinCE6 apps are 16bit? I imagine it will either run in emulation or the GPS module will run as 16bit while the head unit os will run in 32?

Either way 32bit should help with the sd read issues, since it should allow it to address memory quicker etc.

That's why I said it could be coincidental. But definitely keen to replace the unit. Hopefully the BT static will be fixed as that's really stopping me from using my phone for music.

Wouldn't the bt static be more a hardware issue vs software ? Or are you still on a pre-release unit there polski?

Still on pre-release. I don't think any of us Aussies have got a 'final' unit.
