I connected the small USB fan to one of the two USB cables they provide. I can use my internal GPS as well and the 360 video works(ugly though cause of the 480p cameras). I split screened youtube and maps at the same time with no issues and very little lag , even after using it for 20 mins. I also talked to Sergey and he will provide a way to root his ROM once I get it from him so I expect the screen to be close to perfect with no lag. I think the fan is making the difference as it dissipates the heat very well and the cpu does not slow down to avoid overheating. I am going to use the stock ROM for a few days just to make sure things continue to work before I get Sergey's ROM.

Despite the update, these comments still highlight the problems inherent with this low quality hardware. The software side can be handled via update and isn't a big deal but this screen lag and a few other things is fully due to the super low quality cpu/gpu. The PX6 (RK3399, RK3399Pro) was introduced in 2016 and the integrated GPU (Mali T860) was introduced in 2015. This is exceedingly ancient by aftermarket tech standards and it's pretty absurd that this unit costs anything over $500. This same processor is/was in the Samsung Chromebook back in 2016 and that thing cost $500. It was significantly higher performance than this thing currently is. Software refinements will help but why bother? This SoC is severely outdated and the unit is overpriced. Perhaps the newer unit will have a processor from this decade, that would be nice.
@OxBlitzkriegxO2 жыл бұрын
P.S. most other items (tablets and din units with fold out screens) that use this SoC are priced around $200-$250. You can by the SoC itself for around $40 wholesale and about $95 as a consumer. It makes you wonder just exactly why the AuCar Mark 5 costs $800+.
