Mounting My GPS

[Dragonstaff]

While Rusty has had no problems, mine dropped the maps side of android auto after about six weeks. It tells me see a seemingly non-existent update. I reached out to the seller for help on two occasions and got crickets. I would not recommend that particular seller to anyone after this.

At this point I have no regrets in my purchase of my Android Auto Screen... 

Famous last words! 

Mine started acting up a while back with Android Auto disconnecting a few minutes after it connected.

I haven't had cause to use it in recent times but decided to give it a try coming home from our recent RTE.
All was good until I tried getting directions using Google Maps...
Google Maps "froze" although I was still able to control my music through it so it had me scratching my head!

Upon arriving home, I found it was actually Google maps on my phone that had lunched itself, and not the Android screen.
Hmm, I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and it was back up and running!

Unfortunately, it wasn't long before the Screen started to disconnect again so I spat the dummy and decided enough was
enough, time to buy a decent Android Auto screen...

So, this is what I came up with: https://tinyurl.com/3sz4s2k3

I'll post an update when it arrives...

 Sorry Rusty, hope I didn't jinx it for you. 

That is definitely a lot pricier, so hopefully you are paying for quality as well as a brand name.

Keep us posted, please.

No worries, Dave... 
I got the new one for a lot less than the price shown as I was able to use some discount coupons.
It comes with a 2 year warranty and full support.
I've read and watched a few reviews so fingers crossed...

It comes with a 2 year warranty and full support.

That sounds a little more promising than the usual Fleabay warranty of until it gets to you.

Apparently you can also send it back within 30 days if you're not happy and get your money back!

I did consider the 7 inch version but ended up going for the smaller model as i thought the larger unit might have been a bit of a squeeze between the dash and the screen.
