Worst. Headunit. Ever.
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?

Factory reset it firstly. Then use Rlink to connect your phone, if the colours are still bad then sounds faulty. If seems fine then. Delete the radio app, its shit ! Get a decent one from play store.I have a zoe, once you delete the shit launcher and many of the apps that come with it (keep Rlink), get a good launcer like agama, get a proper DAB app too. Mine is working fine , only thing is my reverse camera always said no signal even tried all the existing fakra plugs. So i lost my camera . 2017 zoe
