Hi there. I have an evo x that did not come with the rockford system. I am getting the head unit at a good price but it's the one that's for evo x's with the Rockford system. Can I still use it and hook up an aftermarket sub and amp?
Whats up guys I'm pretty new to evos. I have a 2015 mr with the rockford sound , but iv noticed that these head units get suggested a lot vs like a Kenwood or pioneer. Why is that and is it possible to add more amps and subs to the system? Are tweeters and mids interchangeable with speakers form say crutchfield or the likes?
I've been looking at this one for months but I can't pull the trigger just because of the price. I know it will be worth it but ugg. You can also get the 6.0 which is the older version from Walmart for super cheap.. like 200 bucks haha.
I got 8.1 with octa core and 4Gb of ram for $380 from eBay Sygnav store. You can huggle on eBay and can't on amazon... Didnt' install yet but it came with everything.
I will post a review once I have it installed. I think the key is to get a good hardware. a lot of these are low on memory. The one I was after I watched a video of the exact unit being operated by a person and saw no scrolling lags, etc.
turned out the Android 8.0 is not that great. i have the exact same apps on it as my 6.0 and the 7 had , and the 8.0 keep crashing it to the point where the screen froze s completely. i have to always do a soft reset...
So i am nor sure why the newer version of Android crashes. the unit is fast much faster then the older ones , at least seems that way to me.
i am hoping some updates coming out soon for this.
the main apps i have:
TQ
Waze
Pandora
World Map Pro
Google apps , like Google Map , Email and store
Tunein Radio Pro
Youtube
Amazon Video
Power Amplifier
beautiful Widgets
Weather Pro
the two earlier models didnt crashed with those. i didnt use any new apps or more vs the older models .
This one boots faster, and runs faster. But crashed down, where ask you for the factory reset or try to restart again ( this two options and you need the pin to push the reset button) , that black screen, if anyone saw it before.
Not sure if they improved streaming over Bluetooth. The music quality is really poor. Also downloading updates through WiFi is extremely slow as well. It needs 5gh WiFi option. Also when adding extra memory, you can’t tell the unit to use it as it’s main storage. Other than that it’s great. I mostly use waze, Spotify, and a BART scheduler.
My whole plan was to download spotify onto the unit, and to use the WAZE app/ and twitch/youtube. Spotify seems to be okay streaming on the unit though yeah? No reason to stream music via BT if this unit can download spotify for me. Wonder how phone call audio is...
It is capable of better quality, but out of the box it will suck. I had to install Viper4Android to actually get it to be nice. They don't bother with software there.
It's a software that installed on root level and changes the sound coming out of the unit. It has all sorts o advanced optimizations installed. Basically does the sound quality improvement that is usually achieved with a quality amplifier on a software level. Brilliant thing, Google Viper4Android.
I have the 9.0 with rockfordgate and the sub in the back isn’t kicking on and I have the canbus anyone else with this issue.. all speakers in the car work tho.
