Navall 3 replacement?
 

Hello All

It appears after a few years of use my Navall 3 is possibly on its way out, it keeps blacking out during the boot up sequence. I've done a master reset but the problem still persists, if this is unfixable has anyone found a reasonably priced replacement for these Navall units? Preferably one that I can just plug straight in when I take the old Navall out?

Many thanks

I don't know what your definition of reasonable is but if it is around 250GBP you might want to have a look at AndroidIce.co.uk. And if you wait until October ( ;) )this one looks very interesting: https://www.androidice.com/blog/mgzt-android8/
Support is good and seller is trustworthy.



For around 170GBP eBay offers some units but I don't know these sellers or the quality of the products:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Android-8...D/202760977111


If you really want it dirt cheap and like to gamble, you might want to try this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33015222043.html. The only guarantee you have is that you will not have any guarantee that it works.:D


HTH

That's great thanks for the info, I'd probably lean towards the Chinese import, be zero customer service if I had problems but that's the risk you take I suppose. 🤔

I wondered if anyone had managed to reflash the software on these Navall units it could possibly solve my problem?

Thanks again mate 🙂

A chap near me bought one of these a couple of months ago for his BMW

It boots up quicker than my Naval 3 and seems to work well.

Might be worth seeing if you have anything you can delete off yours, my son deleted a couple of bits on mine I was not using and it has been better since, mine would lock up when I was using the Sat Nav sometimes but is great now.

Please note that it is a WinCE unit. Not Android. This means: no additional apps, no app updates and no security updates (which probably is no issue for a car radio ;) ). And a lot more difficult to customise if you are in to such things.


On the other hand: if the device works, it works :)
