I built a small, arduino based, gear posititon indicator "gauge" and the radio wont connect to the bluetooth module on the arduino!!. It shows on my phone, my tablet without an issue, but it wont connect to the radio. I had so many plans with this unit, but now I am going to have to sell it and go with a tablet instead which is sad because I love the radio, but the guys at Joying need to understand how important having good bluetooth connectivity is nowadays!!!!!!!!!
And if all of this is because of trying to sell a few more dongles, well....they missed out on selling at least 2 more radios (just to me, not even counting my brothers who where asking about the radio) because of this.
All the Android head unit makers do that. Someone here did mention that they said they're going to update the firmwares to enable more BT function though. Hopefully it's true.
You also didn't need to make an arduino gear indicator. If you connect to the OBDII and use the app Torque, there is a PID in most car computer systems that indicates what gear the tranny is in and Torque can display it.
