9W7 and 9WZ.....awesome bits of kit.

Good work on finding the Kufatec unit and reporting back so quickly. Others will be thankful to see this result when they experience similar problems, and will have confidence that it is a job they can tackle themselves.

Good to know and thanks. I updated the firmware on my Fiscon Kufatec Plus this past weekend. Originally it was running Mainboard 1.73 and PBoard 1.83 and after updating it changed to Mainboard 1.73 and PBoard 3.12.

However, I still cannot wait to replace it. Two key things are the insistence on the phone to interrupt whatever is happening on the screen (soundwise) whenever anything happens on the phone - so message of any sort, email etc, and everything gets paused. No sound is played - just pausing as the phone symbol comes up on the display, then after about 3 seconds it starts again (although it used to be a longer before I updated the firmware). On some occasions it does not receiver from this and you have to resort to turning off Bluetooth on the phone to allow sound to commence again, which will only happen when the car is restarted so that it goes into pairing mode..

Secondly, it only allows Bluetooth music streaming through the front speakers which takes me back to the 1980's.

Most definitely time for an upgrade me thinks...
