Re: Sinosmart Android Head unit - UK Forum member offer

@GaryT as i remember the Japanese model has some differences in the canbus communication(memory a bit foggy). I'm not sure if that was sinosmart or any other vendor but they had a separate version for JP models. I would recommend you contact sinosmart through the chat function and ask them (give the...

Re: Sinosmart Android Head unit - UK Forum member offer

For me it was a new harness for the unit, but my Bose worked with the old one jut very very loud and with a constant hum in the background. As expected the bose amp expects a line out not an amplified signal.

Re: Sinosmart Android Head unit - UK Forum member offer

Solved the BOSE issue as software or the "new" harness? The only nagging issues remaining are the really crappy mic (my internal/external switch does not work - mic sounds terrible and produces an echo because it listens to them both.) and non working PA. I could live without the PA - bit ...

Re: Sinosmart Android Head unit - UK Forum member offer

Just putting out my feelers, would anyone be interested buying the 2019-2021 6G-128G model (with dab stick and bose harness if you need it) from me? The park assist just does not work with my model year (might not be an issue for someone without it) and it's bugging me to no end. ballpark half price...

Re: Sinosmart Android Head unit - UK Forum member offer

and while I'm complaining there is a constant background hiss while nothing is playing. if I set the volume to 0 it goes away. I'm assuming it's sending an already amplified signal, but I have a bose system which should require just the unamplified signal. Can't really see enough line out connection...

Re: Sinosmart Android Head unit - UK Forum member offer

yep I did no difference. the go forward prompt is because it's trying to find a parallel space. if I activate the camera view while in drive exactly the same happens.

the stock unit lets you switch between modes, and the button is supposed to to that.

Re: Sinosmart Android Head unit - UK Forum member offer

So I pulled the trigger, and ordered the 6G/128 model. Everything mostly works as I want it (fiddled for a couple of hours, we'll see what I find in a couple of days), except for the park assist function. The reverse camera/360 fires right up the PA button is present but when I press it, it jumps to...

@dvu_74 would you mind commenting a bit on microphone quality? How does it perform in call (over BT and carplay/androidauto)?
