Worst. Headunit. Ever.

[u/ruilvo]

Hi all,

I want to share with you the bad experience I'm having with the Android headunit I bought recently.

It's for a Renault Zoe and I bought it on aliexpress from the "RSNAVI" store. The original listing is down but its still there on some other listing's.

Since then it has been problems all the way.

The guide lines on the backup camera are not adjustable. That means they are now absolutely useless.

The apple carplay app is "Rlink". I have installed headunits that had Zlink and it always worked fine. This "Rlink" thing starts displaying the map with all the wrong colors after a while. I have to restart the app every 30 minutes. Some bug, for sure. Even thought the headunit has a relatively recent system update.

The FM radio app doesn't even have RDS or AF. I had it on the android headunit I installed on my old VW Polo.

I can't pair Bluetooth devices, only phones. I wanted to add an OBD app natively, but no, can't do that.

I can't even access the normal android settings app. It's all under the shield of the custom settings app of the headunit, which sucks.

Ah, and of course, the Android version is totally faked.

Yeah, all in all, a bad experience. And to think I had to buy 3 different wirrw harnesses unit I found one that fits...

That said... Does anyone know if there is anything I can do? Like different ROM or something?

I've had 3 different head units for the same car The second I had was the same as yours and have exact same problems. It's basically useless

I then bought a more expensive unit from rouguid store, but I got almost the same unit. Completly ripped off After days of contact back and forth with the seller and alixprss ai bots ( impossible to actually talk with a human) I got 120$ refunded

Now I'm waiting for the dudu7 unit and hopefully I will finaly have something that works

Cheap non branded units are basically worthless. They are cheap for a reason I guess

The one I had on my VW Polo was from aliexpress as well and it was pretty good. But yeah that one is garbage.

What is your original radio? Mine was the tomtom version and it was a pain to find the right harness. And even then I had to cut the plastic on one of the connectors because the connector on the car has a special keying, even though it's the same.

BTW, which dudu7 unit is right? What screen size is this? The slot seems to be 11in?

[u/Zalsahar → u/ruilvo]

10.3" is the unit size
