I plan on doing a detailed write-up on my install of EC Offroad 16" unit. So far I'm happy with it. I knew going in that there would likely be some issues and things that would take time to resolve and maybe somethings I'd just have to accept to get what I really wanted which was a large nav screen without having to mount an iPad separately. Apple Carplay was a bonus.
Here are some thoughts/current issues I'm trying to figure out:
1. Apple Carplay is pretty good. Never used it before. The only thing I don’t like is the Apple dumbed down version of Google maps. Maybe there are some settings I have yet to find but I like the full version of Google maps I can run directly on the Android unit better.
2. Wifi will not auto connect to iPhone. It does autoconnect to home wifi. After forcing it to connect to iPhone it works but when rebooted, the wifi is off and I have to delete the saved iPhone and reconnect it manually. This is my current biggest annoyance.
3. Altitude is in meters. Was able to change to US units for everything else but not altitude. Can this be changed to ft?
4. Clock is off by 13 hours. I reset it to local time but after reboot it reverts to +13 hours ahead. I have toggled DST on and off, no difference.
