demon1300 Member 435 Member For: 12y 10m 16d Gender: Male Posted 19/12/18 07:24 AM Share Posted 19/12/18 07:24 AM Good feedback Rab, pulled the trigger on the MK2 unit for my F6, to replace the sh*tty MK1 piano key unit. Going to pick up the unit tomorrow and have asked them to customise the boot logo to be the FPV version.Here's hoping it's all well and good and that I don't have any of the speaker feedback that's been talked about. I believe retro fitting the MK2 unit into the MK1 is ok, but fitting the MK2 to a MK2 can have some issues...Could you like the exact OBD2 dongle you used?

Apparently they are upgrading the Ford screens to the same super speedy ones they use in the VE (2 second boot time) in January. Dont buy the current (now obsolete) version.

demon1300 Member 435 Member For: 12y 10m 16d Gender: Male Posted 19/12/18 09:50 AM Share Posted 19/12/18 09:50 AM Ohhhh really!? When I first contacted them, they said they only had 33 units left of the MK2 unit and that they wouldn't be getting more until July 2019. I asked specifically if they would be a different spec and they said no, they'd be exactly the same... Any source for your info? Edit - just remember that the MK2 unit is vastly superior in spec to the MK1 unit already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger screen has an inbuilt mic which can be an advantage. Someone on AFF mentioned the upgraded units. Look at the video of the VE units. None of the fg units boot or work that fast regardless of screen size Edited 19/12/18 10:11 AM by sixman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon1300 Member 435 Member For: 12y 10m 16d Gender: Male Posted 20/12/18 10:56 AM Share Posted 20/12/18 10:56 AM Spoke with them today when I went to pick up the unit. There is def a new unit coming early Jan which has what he described as almost a super cap that keeps power to the device for 48hrs so the boot is instant. Apparently it has more RAM, and a slightly brighter screen by around 10%He kindly let me exchange my order for one of the new units! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot is slow.Os is locked so you can't remove the bloatware sort of apps on it.Once it's going though it's good, usually using Spotify and Google maps. Sound is better quality aswell.It's better than the stock setup but theres still room for improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just send 'em a message. I wonder if the same thing is occurring with BA/BF units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrs Donating Members 448 Member For: 17y 5m 3d Gender: Male Location: Darwin Posted 20/12/18 10:22 PM Share Posted 20/12/18 10:22 PM I literally haven't touched the parcel since it arrived. But I'd feel sorry for the guy if everyone is returning units and he gets stuck with a bunch of old ones. I already got him to change my order from mki to mkii after I had ordered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
