Can you please post some photos? I would like to see it fits in the car.

See posts #'s 10, 14 and 24 for fitment

Fixed the streaming from iPhone issue.

I was screwing around trying to get the CD changer to work and changed the "source" to CD in the DSP page. Changed it back to "tuner" and have music again!

Stupid IBus app will not open on start up though. Really annoying.

My iBus app starts automatically with starting up the car every time. BUT, this doesn't mean the App recognize the USB dongle successfully or not.
Often times the App is started but didn't recognize the USB. When this happens, I loose OBC ability and cannot force the App to recognize the USB, unless I unplug the power from back of the Headunit.
Having said that, on next day, the App connects to USB successfully. seems buggy.

Try this option.
In iBus App, go to Settings > Other > Start app when Ignition is off > Check ON.

Tried this and it still doesn't load. Not sure what to do with this? I have emailed the app developer, but not sure I will get an answer.

Are you able to change your home screen? My apps are fixed and I have to swipe to the next page for my home page. It's a slight inconvenience, but it's still lame that I can't arrange the factory home page with my own apps.

Planning on throwing a SIM card in today for giggles. We'll see what happens there....:rolleyes:

Crazy how different the UI looks on yours. Is it an Xtrons? How old is it? IBus just released a new version of the app. Have you tried to update it?

Not even half a year old yet. From my understanding the version I got comes with a vanilla version of Android, while the other ones have some kind of a specific UI from them. I haven’t as I am away from my car for a few weeks, but I am strongly considering just resetting it to stock when I get back and go from there, install everything one app at a time and see if there are issues.

That is an interesting option for me to think about as well. Still busy trying to go through all of the settings on the HU and the IBus app.

That's another question I have. I have factory DSP. The Xtrons HU has the built in DSP and the Resler controls the factory DSP. Is there some sort of overlap there that is messing with the DSP? I never got to hear it on the factory HU so I have no idea what it is supposed to sound like.:dunno:

Are you sure your DSP amp is good if you never got to hear it? Not uncommon for them to fail.

How would I check it? I have power to the speakers and sub. I can't image the HU would supply everything without distortion?

Seems the Xtrons site is having some technical difficulties....try eBay, man. That's where I got mine. It's the cheapest through eBay.:thumbup:

This app looks extremely intriguing. I downloaded the app and will install this week. Hopefully it won't brick the HU.:confused:
