Hey guys. I bought an s100 unit from china. Wanted the ogm1 but could not put the money out. 3 young ones all with food allergies which consumes a lot of my paycheck. I am very pleased with the unit. Everything works as stated and the sound is incredible! My only issue is that it does not stay on the factory amp "on" when I stop and re start the truck. Can I manage with having to turn it on every time, yes, but I don't want to. Anyone ever see this problem with any unit?

 

Thanks for any help guys!

 

Below is the only pic I have of installed. Everything connected to the canbus works fine. Not sure why it says connect failed. Also installed the back up camera. This unit was 400.00 shipped to my door. Only reason it's not a ogm1. If you have the cash I would go ogm1 because you will get walts support!

That is an off brand. I need more info to research this. Who makes it? What is the full model number? What vehicle( I can't see the tag line)? Do you have a Bose system or aftermarket amp?

It's a roadnav 991-8921c same one as from smartauto24.com. Ido have the bose system. Sounds incredible if only the amp stayed on after I turn the ignition off. Lol

 

I believe the no canbus is right. All steering controls me everything else works. It just does not remember to keep the amp turned on.

 

Also, it's a 2007 tahoe lt

Well I sorted it out. I got the latest updated firmware for it and amp now stays on. I used that for about 3 days until I found out someone installed android 4.3 on these and it rocks. Waiting for my usb wifi dongle to come in the mail! Really loving the android installed on this unit

So what all did you need to install this and does all your factory stuff work? Im a big Android fan and this would be awesome!

I used an 8gb sdcard and followed his instructions to the tee. You need to format it with the software he has a link to. Load the firmware and let it go. At one point the screen goes blank and you'll here some beeps but it will come back after a minute or so. Just read his page a couple of times. Which unit do you have? Get the backup of your firmware over at the roadnav forums in case you ever want to go back. After having android I don't think I will ever go back though!

Cool do you have a install parts list for what you needed to put it in?

It was absolutely all plug and play. What year truck do you have? You can buy the same unit with android already in it. It's called an s150 but with the s100 you can get it with the wince version and then update it to android with kotix firmware. Only thing with android is if you use an app like poweramp the steering wheel controls will not change it. Steering wheel controls will only work with the radios internal operations like radios dvd and so on.
