Has anyone figured out how to change the default apps you get when you press the mode button on your steering wheel (circle with three dots). It cycles through NAV/MUSIC/RADIO/AUX for me but I can't figure out to how to change most of the default apps. I found an option for the navigation so I could change the default to Sygic, but can't find a way to change it so that the radio uses my DAB app, and PlexAmp for my music. I had a look the steering wheel button mapping app, but couldn't get it to work either. Anyone worked it out?

Just carried out a quick test call on my unit using the built in microphone, by leaving myself a voice message. Quality seemed OK (I think!). Tried with engine idling and reving up a bit and still seemed OK. I suppose it might be different after a while or when actually moving with all the road noise, so will test properly another day.

I've ordered a free PAYG Vodafone SIM so will let you know if it works in my SIM dongle. I've had a look at some of the videos for the boot handle camera online, and it does seem you need to just connect everything up without any coding changes. Took my a while to get my head around the power cables, but I think I saw a positive power cable labelled for camera power on the back of the unit, and I guess I connect the negative/ground to any point on the boot.

I'll see if I can get hold of a Vodafone SIM for you, and give it a go. The seller forgot to send me the "free" camera. Apparently it's now being sent with the modified factory USB lead. From the pictures I kind of assumed the camera provided would be rubbish anyway - maybe I've been too quick to judge. The camera I bought from Alixpress was the one that is integrated into the boot handle, which looks like a neat solution. Just not looking forward to running the cable through the car! Is there a backup function? Haven't found it yet. Or do you have to install an app to backup.

Tested a PAYG Three 4G SIM and it seems to be working in the SIM dongle provided. I've bought the DAB USB dongle, and that seems to be working as well using the Fakra to SMA lead from amazon. FM Radio working with two blue wires connected together for power. Software updated to latest version. 😎 Must admit I'm impressed so far! I haven't tried bluetooth calls yet but by the sounds of it the built in mic is not up to much. I've also ordered the reversing camera, so that will be the next challenge when I'm feeling confident enough.😁

Thanks everyone for your help so far. So the seller has agreed to send me the modified factory USB cable (for a charge of $1!🤨). Where and how do I connect the additional power wires from the cable to? Also is there anywhere that tells me which 4G bands this unit is compatible with? I'm thinking of getting one of the 24 month Three 4G data SIMs from Amazon, but wanted to make sure it will work before I purchase.

Hi All. Just to let you know I've joined the club thanks to this great thread, and bought one of these units. It arrived yesterday, and I've had a go at fitting it which went kind of OK considering I'm not very good at these things. It looks like I've received the same factory USB cable that doesn't work (only 4 pins), no power leads. I've emailed the seller to see if they can send me a modified cable the same as nickytheshaft was sent, so fingers crossed they agree to send it through. A couple of questions (apologies if they are stupid!) : Does the bluetooth phone app import the contacts from your phone and call history like my original MIB1 Amundsen used to? The call history and contacts don't seem to be appearing for me at the moment. Where do I put a 4G SIM? Does the unit draw power continuously when the ignition is off? I'm having problems with my car battery at the moment and fitting this seemed to tip it over the edge yesterday and the car wouldn't start. Thanks
