For 20 years, IT professional and Android users the first hour: since the decision was obvious to a car radio based on Android. But what is Perl delivers here to say the least not operational. In short, you would buy the product again or a friend? Absolutely not. Reason: Processing is on a Perl-usual level. The price not cheap but OK. (The list price of 779.99 is of course complete nonsense, the unit never had this price!) But you should concern the additional cost of installation frame, CAN bus and adapter cable. Here came at me again around 250, - together. The CAN bus is nowhere described. There are CAN bus adapter for Sony, Kenwood, Becker and many more, but not for Perl. The recommendation of Perl is to contact the manufacturer of the vehicle or a certified workshop. Have I made. Answer: We do not build a! I could really use anything from the CAN bus and had to pull cable. The Radio App has been programmed by someone who has never used in his life, a car radio. Cumbersome to operate without radio text or RT +. Traffic (TA) does not work, no switching to alternative frequencies. Channel buttons can not be self-occupied, were instead favorites buried deep in the menu. During 2 months I use the appliance 3 times need to take the power since the radio is no longer allowed to operate. Will probably need to mount a switch in front of the continuous current. Use another app is unfortunately not possible. The Bluetooth Music app can not be transmitted in small fragments, sounds like a CD player without anti-shock on a mountain bike. Phoning works in theory. In practice, you can not 1. rauswhlen since the phone book without some sort is not available, get 2. I for incoming calls neither number nor name of the caller displayed and 3. can not make a call because the caller so strongly heard in the Echo he does not want to call it. Summary: Not good. The Music app to play the MP3 off after 10 sec. Without touching the touch panel to display the time and date Even when using the navigation order this module completely useless. Here you can but other apps inserting. Navigation is visually not that bad, but it shows no traffic information on to the track. It jam detours can be suddenly offered, without specifying why. In addition, the predicted travel times are totally absurd. For a drive speed of 360 km I was shown initially 1h45min. An hour later, then just still 1h30min. Compare and select alternative routes is buried deep in the settings, an optimal or recommended route does not exist. Shortest via farms and dirt roads, fastest ever over the highway and the Green route simply avoids all motorways. A few more details are partially incorrect or not play at all on the Internet: The start of the device (boot) takes about 40 seconds for a new (empty) device. However, this is still influenced by what everything should be loaded at startup. (Launcher, Startup apps, initializing connected media, etc.) For me, the first sound of the radio is played after 50 seconds. In the settings you can set the time until the shutdown of the unit: There is a choice for 1 min, 3 min or 10 min. Why not 2 days or never I can not explain it. Well when programming just not thought about it. The (optional) rear view camera is not provided in advance, but only after the boot process (50 seconds). A CD drive was possibly intended times. The slot but was taped with a visor. (If the first sunbeam direct) The key can not be freely assigned and are firmly connected to the internal functions. An exception is the key to Navi. The blue illumination decides autonomously when it comes on and when not. No meaningful rhythm, not brightness depending, not adjustable. In summary, one can say: My Dream of Android in the car is not yet given. If the product manager for Perl would be used instead of its permanent installation of this device in its Cayenne then that could be perhaps also with this device sometime yet.
