    I bought one from aliexpress, exactly the same device for under 100 EUR with 2 x cameras and TPMS sensors. I love it and i just bought the second one for my ADV 350. 100% worth the money!

    I bought one of those units from autoabc. Funny enough they have your video linked on their products page. Regarding the Audio. There is one setting within this device which says, use phone audio. Meaning the audio will come out of your phone, or if your helmet headset is connected to your phone, then you have audio via your helmet.

    • @4KMotoring

      I tried that option, but it seems that once your phone makes the WiFi connection, it won't broadcast over Bluetooth anymore. Simply, to work with every device, it needs to have an output Bluetooth connection. Hopefully this will be present in a future iteration

    Is this a rebranded GreenYi? You'll need to connect the dashboard to the headset (i am using packtalk edge) afterwards. I think there's a Bluetooth Emit function in there.
    If you want a more premium version of these, there's this brand called Chigee (in Japan, the brand is called Akeeyo), with the model AO-5 lite -- but that's 3x the price of GreenYi

    • @4KMotoring
      @4KMotoring  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I appreciate the information! This is definitely a Chinese knockoff of something, and in their typical fashion they rebrand things a million times. There is no Bluetooth output on this unit so that is the root of most of my disappointment. I'm glad to hear there are similar products that have usable features on the market, I imagine we'll see more of them in the future

      It does not have an included adapter for that but can be wired for it pretty easily. Alternatively, you can just splice into the wiring for that cigarette outlet and have a great experience

    Water proof doesn’t matter to me, I keep sandwich size freezer bags and zip ties in my bike and use them even if it’s water proof. You can see through them and operate through them, so that’s not a problem. What is a problem, no audio output that will connect to the bike sound system or Bluetooth headset. Actually that’s a deal breaker. Wouldn’t use it if it were free.

    • @4KMotoring
      @4KMotoring  ปีที่แล้ว

      True, there are work arounds for waterproofing, but I agree about the audio. I'm testing another unit now that seems to fix these issues

      Ducati uses the Bosch wifi mirroring unit, which is apparently where the limitations are. Hopefully they've had enough feedback to push for it on the next version

    if the monitor connects to your phone to use it then why not pair the ear piece to your phone? why do you neeed the monitor itself specifically to connect to the headset? everything android auto is doing comes from your phone anyway, no?

    • @4KMotoring
      @4KMotoring  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It comes down to the settings in Android auto, which uses a Wi-Fi connection for screen mirroring rather than a traditional Bluetooth connection to a helmet communicator. The software that this device was using at the time said it had audio capability so my phone would not allow me to pair a different device and transfer audio to a different device. I'm sure it's something simple they could have fixed with a software update but the fact that they sent it out the way it was is utterly ridiculous. There are so many better products out there for the same price point

    So you think this device is "absolute garbage" only cause of the problem with sound? Thats nuts. There is no device on the market which is nearly perfect. Android auto lacks of good nav apps but for apple no problem. And if you dont use helmet speaker(sena etc) you wont miss the sound.
