I have been testing the binize box for 3 weeks, unfortunately my experience has not been great, I have been trying to return the unit for a week now but their support team keep sending me troubleshooting steps ( their support is very responsive though).

I have found the following issues with the binize mercedes box on my EQS:


1.- Wheel controls do not work as expected...instead you get a mouse pointer that it is very hard to manipulate with our crappy touch controls on the wheel.. I was expecting a discreet movement from button to button (left, right, up, down) on the screen not a mouse pointer that you need to precisely line up with the button you want to click on screen.

2.- I could not find a way to change the theme to dark mode... the android settings are trimmed and the themes section is empty... this makes some app like google maps, waze, etc display bright gray background which is very distracting

3.- Other devices allow you to change the intro/boot animation... this one does not.... the video is low-res, eventhough it is only 5 secs it kinda looks cheap on the hyperscreen..

4.- Bluetooth controllers for gaming do not work properly

5.- Carplay audio (when you connect your phone to the binize box) is choppy, sometimes after you hang up it shows as if the call is still on.... I ended up connecting my phone to the EQS bluetooth directly ( you can have carplay from your phone to the car directly while the binize box is plugged )

6.- Streaming videos have Audio out of sync (audio is always 400ms late) and again makes the whole experience cheap (speedtest shows 80 Mbps speed, the same happens when connected to my home wifi at 300Mbps)

7.- You can't zoom in google maps... you are stuck with the main zoom factor... when you approach a turn google will zoom in and out.. but you can't do it manually for some reason... zoom in other apps works ok but for me GMAPS was very important

8- iPhone mirror (airplay) only works if you connect the binize box to the iphone wifi hotspot....I have a hotspot on the car itself and I connect my phone to the car along with the benize box... screen mirroring wont work that way... other airplay emulators just require the sender and receiver to be connected to the same network, this one requires the receiver to be connected to the sender directly (per their support team)


The last 4 items are show stoppers for me.. I am not sure if I received a defective unit... wondering if @thebigkat82 had the same issues...
