Have a look in your packaging and see if you have a micro sd card somewhere, or look at the two micro sd card slots on the front right and see if you have a card already sitting in there. I do recall I had to set it up the first time I used it.

Mounted my GPS antenna to the flat bottom middle of the metal bar behind the dash. Left the extra wire tied up in a circle. Works perfect picks up the GPS fix quickly and accurately. All location apps are working - Google Maps, Waze, etc... Shows 6/6 SATS in my driveway here in Tahoe.

Still waiting for my damn hidden radio antenna from China :/

Right on and thanks for the tip on the GPS antenna I was going to try to mount it behind the windshield middle since I was concerned about signal quality but guessing if my phones can get a fix easily indoors then an external antenna should have no problem. I think that technology has come a long way. Originally I was going to run a coax cable to the rear and use the antenna embedded in the rear side window but I'm trying to avoid ripping out my interior entirely. I might coil the wire around the metal bar to further improve the signal and keep things tidy. Didn't even realize it was magnetic figured I'd have to put some decent double sided adhesive tape on there or velcro.

It would be more work to route the wire and hide it behind the dash. Did that for my V1 hardwire was a little bit of a beeyatch.

Glad you are still happy with your unit. What is IGO Primo? Cell service? Is this unit GPS or aGPS (like most android I've seen). GPS is better and doesn't require cellular service for triangulation fix but also consumes more power (which doesn't matter much for this application). The GPS app on the Eonon seems pretty pro. There are many good ones on Play Store too like GPS Status.

Hooked up my mini bluetooth OBD adapter. Paired quickly and works like a charm. Torque PRO works perfectly. Found a nice theme that matches the cluster pretty well. This picture doesn't do it justice really looks AMAZING I am so happy with it. The response is nice and I get everything I want on the screen (RPM, Digital Speed, Coolant Temp, Airbox Temp, Voltage, Fuel % Remain):

Also the Waze experience is just kickass of course.

FYI - I've found playing music from Pandora & Spotify instead of via my iPhone Bluetooth makes the unit much more responsive (especially with Torque running. Now i just pair my phone for phone calls.

:drool: I love that set up! The only thing holding me back is XM/Sirius intergration. I gotta figure out a nice stealth install of a seperate xm receiver I guess. That torque app looks sic! What bt/obd2 dongle are you using.

Can't you just use the XM app? There is an aux in also and plenty of room to hide shit behind the dash.

I am using the cheapest shorty (maybe an inch sticks out when plugged in) OBDII ELM1.5 bluetooth dongle I could find on eBay from China. I think I paid $5-7 for it. I can take a pic or find the link for it if you are interested. I think they are pretty much all the same.

looks awesome!

That does look really nice.

Damn my OCD wanting the OBC functions to work!

You get access to every sensor and function of the OBC in Torque and well beyond IMHO.

If you are looking for MPG calcs, stopwatch, throttle %, hp at wheels, etc... it has it all...

For me coolant temp and voltage are the most important and those are only available in the secret cluster menu which is a biznotch to access.

I know... but you can't reset anything on the cluster... It's stupid I know. LOL that's OCD for you.

Correct me if the above is incorrect. I'll order one of those units today if you can actually reset it in Torque and it reflects it on the cluster. But I doubt it...
