Brando Car Handsfree Kit Experience

Hello, does any one has some experience with the Brando Car Handsfree Kit ?
Is the charger powerfull enough?
Does it mount good in the car?
Here is a link:
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02680&dept_id=039&cat_id=0763

i have one like this it was broken after few months from the sun and the headphone/radio exit stoped working

I've tried at least 4 units like this one, and they always suck.
The only brando handsfree kit that I could see working well is to have one sitting in the passenger seat.

Have you actaully tried this unit - or just ones LIKE it?
Reason I ask is I am after one for my Diamond and the Diamond Brando Handsfree kit which appears identical but for the cradle itslef has good reviews from people using it.
So while your post puts me off somewhat - it appears you have not actually used this one. Is that correct? In which case I will take what you say with a grain of Salt.
Can anyone else who is actually using this give some feedback please.

[Q] What to do with my Nexus 7

So I have a few Nexus 7's... One 2012 and 3 2013. I have no use for the 2012 model at the moment and I am trying to find some off the wall use for it. I already use a n7 for my car stereo and the rest for standard tablets. What should I use this 2012 n7 for? I am looking for very non traditional uses. In other words I want to use it for something it was not really intended to be used for that might breathe some life into this extra piece of tech.

Not very non-traditional, but you can mount your N7 in your car and use it as a smart multi-media centre. Check out AutoDroid Rom.

Yep already have one in my dash. Needing something else.

WIFI MOD
do this
i did it to my N7

I think I'm going to use it as a test dummy for modding my 2013 n7.... Like move the rear camera out of the case on a ribbon and install it and the microphones in my dash. That way I can do video and hands free calls via hangouts.

Cheapest smartwatch that does turn by turn navigation?

I bought an electric scooter earlier this week:

It's easily twice as fast as walking, so I get lost twice as fast
I'd like satnav while avoiding the phone mount (cumbersome & risk of breaking the phone). I've been searching for a few days if I could get the turn by turn instructions from my phone (because Bluetooth) and display them on a mini OLED display but I don't think I can do that.
So, the next best thing would be to print a bracket to permanently install a smartwatch on the handlebar:
So, here's when I need your advice.
Ideally, I'd look for a place on my computer or phone and ask Google maps to send the itinerary to my watch/scooter. Alternatively, I'd be ok with having to start the navigation on my phone and then have it displayed on the watch.
Internet connection (if need me) will be shared wirelessly by the phone. Phone is a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S on Android Oreo (MIUI 10).
So I think I want the smartwatch to run Android. Not sure I want it to run Android Wear
I don't have a shape preference but I want Google maps to be usable.
Budget is tight, used watch is welcome, which one would you choose?

Joying Head Units Bluetooth workaround?

Sorry to bother you guys but figured I have tried two of the resident experts on this type of stuff with no luck, and I apologize that I am not very knowledgeable on this stuff. I totally redid my 84 Monte Carlo SS both outside and now finishing up the inside of it. While doing so I came up with the idea of having a dedicated head unit run a backup camera, air ride controls, and other accessory type of stuff. While having a second unit run the stereo and front facing DVR, I thought I was all set because it had Bluetooth and I avoided the issue of having my phone run bluetooth stereo on one while the other would be able to bluetooth for the air ride.
What I currently have is these two units, JY-UOS02N4PX5S and UK-JY-UOS01P4V. The UK-JY-UOS01P4V is the unit I was hoping to run the Ridetech air ride app on to control the air ride. But I can change how I have the two setup if it would make a difference, but think they are pretty much the same specs except that the UK-JY-UOS01P4V has fast boot which is part of the reason for choosing to run it on the accessory stuff. Thanks for your time and sorry for creating another thread but have searched through and not found anything related to my specific units. Here is a pic of the basic setup of them to mimic modern cars to a point.

*Beginner Post* Asvegen/Joying/Hyundai HVAC questions

As a disclaimer, I am a total novice in the world of anything Android, so please have patience as I come from the Walled Garden of Cupertino. Anyway, I installed an Asvegen (the names they come up with, sheesh) branded unit in my 2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe that I ordered from AliExpress. As far as I can tell, it is somehow related to Joying, as I can access the factory settings of the unit with with a Joying code. Getting any information from the seller/manufacturer is somewhat difficult because they are using translation software that doesn't always work right, making it difficult to understand. Also, with the time difference, I normally have to wait 12-24 hours for them to respond, in addition to 24-48 hours for an answer pertaining to a questions I have. I've searched here and tried other sources, but I've come up with nothing.
ANYWAY, this is turning into a long story.
It has, from what I can tell, an RZC Canbus decoder. They are telling me to use the IX45 Low Profile setting for the car type. I can see most of the settings for HVAC on screen, except for set temperature, which always shows 17°C, otherwise that all works. Is there any way changing a setting that I can see what temperature the HVAC is set to? And if so, can I change it to Fahrenheit, as I am a clueless American? I will include a photo of the HVAC display for reference.
