Xtrons
No-one should EVER buy one of these.
Nothing but absolute garbage. Avoid at all costs. 1) Slow 2) Hangs 3) Locks up randomly requiring hard reset. 4) Wifi just drops making it totally useless for downloading maps, ive spent DAYS even trying to download from a laptop IN THE CAR RIGHT NEXT TO IT. 5) when Nav is running unit is so slow volume commands take up to 30 secs to take effect. 6) When volume takes 30secs to work, sometimes it turns it up instead of down meaning I have had to physically pull over and get out until it has recovered. 7) units iant acutually the same dimensions as the BMW original, and if you want it flush like OE you have to modify. 8) Each time I get in the car I have to scan/search for radio stations, it never saves, NEVER. 9) It actually lies to your face, when the Wifi has dropped, it still has the connected icon in the top, pretending all is well, but when tracing things on the laptop, there are no packets from the c-rappy xtrons. So the wifi stack is crashing, its pathetic. Right now if I had an alternative, I would rip this P.O.S out and smash it to bits with a hammer, its disgusting chinese filth. These pieces of garbage have more bugs than a Bangkok massage parlour. Last edited by T16; 7th June 2019 at 12:42.. |

The firmware I have is:-
MTCD_HH_V2.30 Not sure if that means the unit is rubbish, or the firmware was ever updated to remove bugs etc... |

All these "brands" come right out of the same factory in China. |

Well thousands of people are using them Ross with no complaints and the units from trader Jubberbelly receive nothing but praise. Your comment about them all coming from the same factory, is that made out of anger or frustration or do you have proof that this is so.

Don’t recognise many of your problems except poor fitting but one thing missing on your list which my Xtrons (Jubbs) suffers from is GPS lag, it takes ages to find satellites unlike my old Win unit. Repositioned aerial, tried another GPS programme, still the same but weirdly, once it finds them it’s fine for hours, can go into shops, restart the car and instantly there but next day after a long sleep it’s the same procedure again.
