Actually this week, not so much. Or maybe a lot. But not on the Android GPS or his other products: as his web sites says, he's on vacation.

I really want this but I feel like it has too many small issues need to be fixed with all these posts. I hardly use my OEM screen now for anything but the navigation is just god awful!

Haha..No! They actually sell ours that I have put so much work into. They are just a reseller. Not a maker. And they have NO V2 for that amont. Might be the V1 then. They dump prices just to sell And they DO NOT offer ANY support. Almost 100% of their customers comes to me for support and help as soon as they get them...
And yes, our V2 is 8 core...

Every reseller in every forum wants to be the owner of this product. Ridiculous.
And carsara gives support...

Anyways, I'm wondering if one can power up these things at home and set them up before installing it in the car?
In my case, I've almost no signal in my underground parking, so I'd rather install and set up all I want at home instead of driving out and taking so much time waiting for downloads.

Carlife Mall Tech is registered as a manufacturer as Carlife Mall Technology Co Ltd, specifically of car interface technologies, with Emily Pei the registered business manager.
The first Industrial Area, Tangwei, Bao'an, 518000, Shenzhen,China Shenzhen, Guangdong
Sure looks like Carlife would be the actual manufacturer although being Android and apparently rooted, any end user could modify and then resell it with some added/changed features.
Carlife does their own trading and marketing.

I e-mailed Carsara for price and the quote was US$650 including shipping (and PayPal fee of $20). Chris' price, without VAT but including shipping, is US$667.
So for $17 I get native English speaking support and detailed knowledge of the product which would be very important for me when trouble shooting.
Your mileage may vary.
Yeah, family IS more important than money.
For many of us.
According to Chris' website he'll be back on July 26 (European time).

From what I see, I can get it for $490 including shipping + $33 of VAT. 20% cheaper becomes tangible.

And to be honest, I don't need mph and F° units, so I thing I don't need the CarelifeMall updates (unless they added something else? Is there a changelog?)

Could be, I'm not sure: I've seen some units claiming to have a faster quad-cores CPU with Android 7 for a few months; then this one with the same 8-core CPU since 2 weeks.

When watching the video some of the explanations are kinda difficult to understand as Carsara's support is Chinese English, Chris' is native. .

I think AVM is 360 degree "Around View Monitoring", a top down view of the entire car surroundings using down facing cameras front, rear and mounting on the bottom of the mirrors. I have seen videos about how to place all the cameras for the 360 top down view. eg youtube HJc8fU-bW5o

would you mind making a video going through the menus?!? I'm sure not only is, but others on the forum would love you forever. Communication ****ing sucks from this Chris guy...how many questions did we ask and all we get is one sentence that he's back? Like...wtf...seriously? Are you in the states? Install was pretty easy? Any complaints about the unit? What was the total cost.. ...did u have to pay customs? Care to provide the link from the seller you bought from?!

New Android 7 Settings
I have posted a video of all of the "Settings", so that you can SEE all of them. I don't have the previous version, so I don't know what is new.
"Turn to start AVM" = when you use the turn signal, it will switch to the selected camera (either RCA input or Stock) while the turn signal is on. Then, switch back to your previous screen when the signal is turned off.
Mirroring works well for Android over USB, but not over WiFi
Touching the screen interacts with the Android phone, if you enable USB debugging
The device does not support Google Assistant (the app), but it has a mic that pics up pretty well for voice commands/search
e.g. "Ok Google, Play The Eagles" will launch google play music and start playing The Eagles
but "Ok Google, pause music" does nothing
Let me know if you have any questions about the settings.
