Bluetooth, CarPlay, MirrorLink, HD Screen: This Stereo Does it All! | BRV REVIEW

[@Ms.Frankenbuilder]

Awesome setup, trying to figure out how to put a rear view camera in my old 2006 sprinter.

[@bigrobsvan]

Well, this would do it, but I wouldn't recommend swapping out the stereo just for a rear view camera. Amazon has some add on kits for around $40 that look pretty simple to install -- 12v power to the front and a wired camera to mount on the rear bumper. (amzn.to/3WzIt5x)

@@bigrobsvan thanks, going to check that out.

Looks super sweet!

[@bigrobsvan]

I'm liking it! You can email the company and they will give you a custom firmware that puts any image you want as the boot image. I just sent them the Big Rob's Van logo for mine!

Great video. I have one very similar to yours but it will only connect to one phone from Bluetooth. It would allow connection to another phone, what could be the problem?

[@bigrobsvan]

I have a pair of headphones like that, that will only connect to one device. It's so annoying, I wonder why they limit them like that?

How much GB of RAM and Storage does this device have on board?

[@bigrobsvan]

Sorry, the manual doesn't say how much RAM it has. I don't think it has any accessible storage. Any audio or video content needs to be on a USB stick or streamed to the device.

@@bigrobsvan Thanks, I've always had name brand head units and I'm was kind of leery of these brands on rather I want to pull the trigger and buy one

3monthw later... how is it?

[@RobOHara]

I still have it installed and it's still working great! It's a little finicky about which USB sticks it'll read, but other than that, no problems.

How do you move your clock to the right side?

[@bigrobsvan]

I'll be 100% honest -- I have no idea. If your clock is in a different position than mine I suspect we may have different firmware versions. AFAIK there is no way to move it around.

@@bigrobsvan gotcha, thanks👌👍

Did your mirror link lag in KZbin?

[@bigrobsvan]

With a solid phone connection I didn't experience any lag or buffering, but when my connection speed drops, I have seen some choppiness. Mirroring involves pushing a lot of data. The units that allow USB connections between the phone and the unit are less convenient, but seem handle mirroring better. Recently I learned that not all USB cables are the same and I've upgraded replaced a lot of my older ones with newer ones from Amazon.
