Getting really excited for this thing to finally show up on the doorstep. I have an RA1 stock unit, so this thing will be leaps and bounds better than what I started with.
Barring anything being fatally wrong with it, it will give me loads of extra features as well as fix my broken fan speen dial (2nd position not responding) by turning it into a digital control.
If weekends weren't so important for me (most time per week I get with my family) I'd be wishing these few days away.
Any hints, tips or tricks you guys could recommend?
Was thinking of using a different launcher (CarWebGuru) straight away. Is there something better?
How easy is it to load movies, and music? Is USB transfer my best bet?
Thanks in advance for your help with this transition from plain Jane radio to something worth something.
I tried three different launchers on my T-style units and I liked CarWebGuru the best. I even purchased a few of their add themes. Keep in mind only the vertical themes will work from CarWebGuru and are indicated by a 'V' on the theme.
I don't believe there is a quicker way then usb to load movies and music.
You had the same radio I did. I would say to take pictures of your radio stations before pulling the old radio. Test the reset button on the new unit before changing any settings. Test your speakers by fading/balancing to each speaker individually. Listen for a change in fan speed when moving from 1-4 and test hot and cold temperature settings.
