After hours and hours of a lot of experimenting and NO information anywhere on how to actually do this, I'm on the road to figuring out how to bind a Taranis QX7 with an IRX4+ TX module in the back to a UMX Timber park flyer. I thought I should share because this is going to matter to anyone with this radio wanting to bind to this Spectrum protocol. The default channel setup in the Taranis is standard TAER but in the DSM protocol it is AETR. So, I selected "0" on the yellow knob for serial operation on the IRX4+. In the Taranis Radio Setup I turned off the internal transmitter (of course) and selected the external transmitter, Multi DSM, Subtype X 22ms, CH1-7, RxNum 07. I did NOT change the Taranis INPUTS from standard TAER, but I added channel 5 (gear/hopefully AX3S/SAFE) and 6 (for flaps). In the the MIXER Channel 5 will eventually be SAFE/AS3X. I changed Channel 1 to Ail, channel 2 to Elev, channel 3 to Thr, channel 4 to Rud and added channel 5 and 6. In channel 6 (flaps) the source is Flp, I selected switch SB, and Multiplex is set to "Add". I could have selected any switch, but I want to use my left hand AND I'm reserving SF for another function. Also, in the Taranis outputs I changed channel 1 to Ail, channel 2 to Elev, channel 3 to Elev, and channel 4 to Rud. No Curves, no logical switches (yet), no special functions (yet). Now I have all four flight controls plus full flaps on with SB but I'm still trying to figure out how to get SAFE and AS3X. To bind, I turn on the transmitter then connect the plane battery. You don't need to use the bind function in the Taranis model setup menu. If I figure out the rest I'll post back. Hope this helps someone else get started on this project. Maybe we can finish it up together?
Helpful. Well done. I like when you make extra comments that might not be exactly on topic but do provide useful information. As a raw beginner, all of those comments are educational. It is also useful when you slow down a little when you mention a detail such as the exact name of a product or the steps to be followed in some process. It saves a lot of time in rewinding the youtube videos. Another good point about your channel is that you give opinions and not just raw specs. Your opinions seem to be rational and well thought out so that helps us viewers sort out the wheat from the chaff. Thanks again.
Hi Nick. Another great review. I bought an earlier model of this (six months). Did the soldering, add the case to the PCB board. I use it with my Turnigy 9xr Pro. Fits just like the Taranus. I can fly all my quads and planes. When something new comes out, I wait for the deviationtx people to come up with the proper coding and add it to my system. Thanks again, great presentation.
I picked up a qx7 and the irangex module and love it. I have 10 quads with flysky receivers in them and didn't feel like switching them all out right away so this was a much better option. It works well and range is good. Was a little hard to figure out how to set it up at first but after watching a few videos I got it working. Thanks Nick
Nick, I can't thank you enough for this video. I just recently got back into the RC hobby after a rather long hiatus. My son and I have really gotten into the FPV drone thing. I'm using an old Spektrum DX6i, and I bought him a new DX6 Gen 3. What a mistake! I should've researched the latest/greatest tx's and rx's and protocols before dropping 200 bucks on a Gen 3 DX6! Recently, I have been considering Taranis tx's for both of us. After seeing how easy it is (thanks to your demonstration) to update the firmware on it, and use a multi-module to use other protocols, I'm sold. I'll be ordering us each a Taranis and iRange IRX4 modules today. Thanks again! Edit: And I'll be using your Affiliate Link to BG to do so. ; )
Looks good, thanks for the review. I'll probably pick one up since the cheapo multiprotocol transmitter I recently picked up burned out after only a couple of days of use in my Taranis X7.
Hey Nick, two things I'd like to add to the video. One, in companion you must select use nightly builds before you can download the right firmware (at least for me when opentx 2.2RC10 came out I had to) Two, the multi module firmware must receive AETR1234 and nothing else. The different orders are done by the firmware and not on the TX.
I just bought the taranis qx7 myself I'm starting to get familiar with the controls and everything I don't have a quad just yet but I do have the sky Viper s1700 that I bought from Walmart to play around with and I was wondering would the range receiver connect to the sky Viper I seen that there was lots of different makers and brands in there but I don't know the difference of what is what actually I'm new to this I need all the help I can get
Maybe you can help me. I'm just now getting back into the fixed wing RC hobby after 20 years away. The radio technology is totally different now. I am successfully flying an X-vert and UMX Timber with the Spektrum SPS1000 that came with the X-Vert BUT there are control tradeoffs when binding to the Timber, i.e., loss of flap operation and panic button. I also have an FrSky QX7 that has lots of open channels and lots of model memory, so I want to add to the Timber to the model memory. My question is simple, but I have not been able to get a simple answer anywhere. Will the iRange IRX4 allow me to fly my Timber? The protocol list mentions DSM but UMX and E-Flight are not in the compatible manufacturers list. I know there will be firmware updating to perform and all of that, I just need to know if this will work. THANKS in advance!
Instead of plugging in a cable, could I copy the sd card content file to the micro sd card for the transmitter and then update the firmware from just the card? Do I have to plug it in to the computer or can I use the micro sd card? Hope that made sense.
Does anyone know a protocol that works for Futaba FAAST Receivers? I have a Futaba 6EX and a T7C transmitter and there are 3 receivers that work with them....the FrSky, the Hobby King Orange receivers , and the Futaba 617 receiver. I see there is a protocol for the FHSS receiver, but it would be good (for me at least) that the FAAST receivers had a protocol on the 4 in 1. Thanks.
it seems that one could buy a bnf frsky quad but also dsm2 or dsmx bnf? i saw in the settings you can choose dsm2 or dsmx with this multi module. am i wrong or right?
Reading the product description, it seems it only does the toy grade protocols. The hobby grades listed all have one or more transmitters that the module can fit in, for most it's plug and play, the FlySky TH9X, requires modification. But looking at your video, whoever wrote the description must've been confused.
Hi Nick I was wondering if you can help me I have the eye range eggs irx4 plus I have updated the firmware for the undercard everything seems to be working good but I can't get it to bind to my flysky what am I doing wrong can you help me please thanks George
The older versions used the button and dia only when in PPM mode. In serial mode it's fully controled by software as well. I wonder if you can update the firmware on this iRange like you can do with the older cards? (that where not in a housing) The newer version (with more memory) even has a USB connector on it for that.
I am not sure. I would look for info on general setup for that radio. Hopefully there is a general guide available from flysky or someone made a video walk through.
@@NickBurnsFPV It seems to fly the Syma X11 just fine now. Certainly more pitch and control w a hobby grade transmitter. Also, what do you make of eachines patriotic clone of the Ur 65 ? The main difference seems to be the motor kv has been highered to 19000 versus the Ur 65 at 17000. Do you think that will reduce flight times at all ?
Sorry I can’t say if it would or not. I don’t have any experience with that receiver. If the product listing shows the protocol is supported then it should. Sorry I can’t go further than that
Nick Burns I actually got an answer. They are automatically in high rates and is sometimes more extreme than stock high rates. Thanks for the reply man.
were you able to connect it to an inductrix pro (aka tiny whoop)? I got mine to bind to the actual unit because the unit goes from a flashing red light to a solid but then when i move the sticks...nothing... im stuck, please help!
is arm and bind different? when you say down and to the left for a moment, which stick are you talking about on the taranis? the left stick or the right stick? and when do i arm it? immediately after i turn on the receiver and the tiny whoop?
yes bind and arm. binding is for the receiver and arm to fly. use the left stick down and out for a moment to see if it arms. If not try down and in with the left stick.
Hi Nick .. i recently purchased this module iRangeX IRX4 plus ... trying to bind it to eachine e010s flysky version .. not sure what i am doing wrong .. but does not bind . could you help me please .
I think we have to flash the taranis firmware to get "all" the protocols. Out of the box the IRx4 supports the protocols, but the radio software/firmware might not.
Can you help me? Can you check please - in this module there is a protocol - Flysky AFHDS 2A? This protocol is used in the receiver FS- IA6B. Thank you very much for the video !!
Hi nick I purchased this based on your review for my qx7 to run spektrum rx External rf options are Off Ppm Xjt Dsmx Crsf R9m Sbus Why am I missing all the modes you have Why can't I bind to dsmx Regards bob Uk
Hi - thanks for the video. Have you tried binding a Cheerson CX10 by any chance? I have a Hubsan X4 that did binding with no problem but the CX10 won't bind. Thanks
Hi Nick, I've done all the updates and downloads to my Taranis QX7 but can't get it to bind to the RX703A receiver in my Q-RX350 Pro Quad. I've selected the Devo option but still can't get it to bind to my RX. Please any advice from a pro would be great 😁
Hi, I'm new to quad's and I'm just putting together pieces together that have yet to arrive. I ordered a Taranis QX7 but the quad I ordered a Wizard X220S has either a iRangeX iR-A8S / Flysky FS-A8S receiver that comes built in. I'm not too familiar with what I need but I was told that the QX7 would not be able to communicate with those receivers and I would either need a new receiver like an FrSky D8R-II PLUS 2.4Ghz 8CH Receiver or could I use this module to get it to work? If so would you suggest that as the best option or just to replace the receiver? Thanks, sorry if I sound like a complete newb, but this is all new to me. :)
Thank you for replying. I was told that using the module might not be best for outdoor use, that the range will suffer and the module is more for use for small drones in close proximity or indoor micro drones. I appreciate the feedback.
The module is only 1/2 of the range equation. If our quad has a poor receiver that could hurt the range with any radio/module. I think i show that it has good range with the equipment I tested with.
Nick Burns have you used it with any bnf spektrum dsmx planes? I'm having an issue with the qx7 warning me about "rf signal low/critical" and sometimes with further range it even states telemetry lost. I have it bound with a spektrum 636a with SAFE Select. I haven't actually lost control during any of my flights but I'm worried about the range and stability.
thats pretty awesome. ive been wondering about something like this for the hobby transmitters. would you need a different module for the hobby grade protocals?
the boldclash is bayang protocol, the furibee i don't think is supported and I do not know what protocol the h31 is but I really want to fly it with the taranis. I wish there was a list of what quad will work with a certain protocol. I only have about 30 of these toy quads and most use a known protocol but there are quite a few that I don't know the protocol, I should just st down and go through all the unknowns and try to bind them one protocol at a time, but that sucks to plug and unplug the battery every time you try a new protocol and there are a lot of them in the module. sorry for the long comment.
@@NickBurnsFPV 😂 It was recommended to me by youtube! But yeah I do occasionally take a look back in time. Your content has been consistently high quality, very informative and easy listening/Watching
Hi Nick I am having a problem with my Taranis Plus ever since i upgraded to 2.2 version . I can't get into bootloader mode, all I get is the backlight and a blank screen, and when I attempt to download firmware I get the message "Splash screen not found" I don't understand what that means. It would be great if someone could help with this.
Start with a generic google search. www.google.com/search?q=taranis+doesn%27t+boot&oq=taranis+doesn%27t+boot&aqs=chrome..69i57.5639j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Thanks for the link Nick, i have my bootloader back, though it is the Taranis one not STM32. My Taranis is missing sound, beeps and haptic activity, and will not connect to PC, I think i have tried every suggestion that other users have made.
FPV Jos because that line is for multi_module telemetry and not rx telemetry. The idea is that the module tells the transmitter what version of the protocol your using. But I didn't get that to work with the IRangeX module. It does work with the older atmega version.
Radiolink at9, seems like radio not really for miniqads and sticks feels pretty wear off. Also want to try different modules in future, like yours and something long range:)
Oh, that type of model doesn't have arming I don't think. Once they are bound and on we should be able to just throttle up. Might need more tweaking of the radio to get it to operate those quads.
Wow a copy off of the 4n1 module for the Devo transmitters...If it's as good as they are it should be a winner i have 2 devo 12s transmitters both with the 4n1 modules and they work flawlessly..And they only require soldering 3 wires unlike the old method of adding each module individually ..
What about the Horizon line of UMX planes,can I use this radio for airplanes or is this for quads only? Sounds like it is a quad only radio. Nothing wrong with that. I only have a couple quads,personally I prefer flying helicopters and planes,Quads bore me,no challenge really.
Just out of curiosity and if you don't mind me asking, have you flown a quadcopter in acro mode? I ask because planes are something I have loved for years and got pretty good at flying them, aerobatics and all that good stuff. My first hour or two with Q7 ( syma x5c clone ) and I knew it would not last as I did not even drain all my batteries and went home lol. I have only flew acro on freerider ( a simulator ) I purchased the full version one for $4.99 a couple of weeks ago, that's when I woke up again and realised how much of a challenge a good race or freestyle quad in acro mode is to fly well, try snappy mode one then two then custom it up more if ya like. I actually started getting bored with sport planes and now this has brought me back to rc. FPV race style quads for me is a new dimension of the hobby that I'm loving. I fully agree that toy syma type quads get boring fast if you have been flying planes or heli's. Funny thing is, heli's were not really my thing although with FPV they may have been. For belting through gates and around trees with cheap replacement props I feel quads are where it's at for me. It may be worth your while to try freerider free version in acro if you haven't already. Horses for courses apply here I guess though :)
I don't think I can give up my Devo 8s because of the butter sticks! LOL Nice to see these things getting out there though. I imagine the X7 sticks feel better then the devo 10 though right? Does this module increase the number of channels available since it is using OpentTX ? Curious about that sense Deviation software does.. I have friends however that don't want to do any soldering even though the new 4 in 1 mods on the Devo's are only 3 wires to solder except for the 7e. Great Stuff as always Nick!
Nick Burns I I hear what you're saying I don't often notice much difference in the Sticks on radios. then I got my Devo 8s and I could not believe the difference in the feel from the sticks on the 8s. it was honestly the first time I ever noticed a difference in radio gimbals.
And oh I am a new subscriber I've been watching a lot of videos by everybody because I would love to build my own quad but as for now I think I'm going to buy something almost ready to fly hopefully but I really like your channel in this particular you about the eye range multi module but please if you can let me know if it will fly the sky Viper s1700 thanks
Welcome to the hobby, you will surely have a lot of fun. I don't have the Sky Viper to test, I would suggest searching for it on the deviationtx.com website.
I would suggest people not purchase this from banggood. I purchased one for my taranis qx7 because the concept is fantastic. Unfortunately like many others, it has constant and random dropouts. I contacted banggood and they just replied that it was not covered by warranty. I attempted to contact I range multiple times but they will not reply. Finally I ended up going to buy an orange module
I got this FRSKY 20S and I wanted to program this thing so I could fly my RC model here in my ranch. not to fly a SpaceX or NASA rocket into orbit. Cause im not a rocket scientist… I’m gonna return this transmitter tomorrow. This is just a bad nightmare. Couldn’t even find those menus. Very frustrating to try to switch to this radio brand. What’s the best brand ? The old one JR that works wonders. Not going thru this.
After hours and hours of a lot of experimenting and NO information anywhere on how to actually do this, I'm on the road to figuring out how to bind a Taranis QX7 with an IRX4+ TX module in the back to a UMX Timber park flyer. I thought I should share because this is going to matter to anyone with this radio wanting to bind to this Spectrum protocol.

Hey, one off the best videos I’ve seen very well explained. Thank you 🙏
Hey Nick, two things I'd like to add to the video.

On the radio are you choosing the external module or "external rf"? then select flysky below that.
The older versions used the button and dia only when in PPM mode. In serial mode it's fully controled by software as well. I wonder if you can update the firmware on this iRange like you can do with the older cards? (that where not in a housing) The newer version (with more memory) even has a USB connector on it for that.
The protocols are in the firmware on the card, Open-TX does not do more than just select them. (If I'm right, not 100% sure)
Good info thank you
Instructions say must be AETR on your transmitter. How can you input this? I'm using a flysky FS i6

chose DSMX on the protocol in the menu map on the radio.
will it work with hitec optima receivers

Once you bind to one of the toy quads how do you change the rates? If only one rate which rate? Thanks a million.
Thats a good question. I would think one of the switches would do it, but I haven't done it myself.
Nick Burns I actually got an answer. They are automatically in high rates and is sometimes more extreme than stock high rates. Thanks for the reply man.
Whats the range on this with a toygrade quad?
Thanks for sharing!
What RX are you using in the video for the distance test on the brushless quad? What is the latency with a module like that?
Its the redcon r720x. latency is reported to be 22ms or 11ms, depends how you bind it with either 1024 or 2048.

Will you burn the module if you switch the Tx on without an antenna attached to the module?
yes, could be instantaneous or take some time, but yes.

The external rf needs to be on? The module itself is the external rf. We should see a menu under the external rf with the bind and protocol selection.

I ordered a Taranis QX7 but the quad I ordered a Wizard X220S has either a iRangeX iR-A8S / Flysky FS-A8S receiver that comes built in. I'm not too familiar with what I need but I was told that the QX7 would not be able to communicate with those receivers and I would either need a new receiver like an FrSky D8R-II PLUS 2.4Ghz 8CH Receiver or could I use this module to get it to work?
If so would you suggest that as the best option or just to replace the receiver?
Thanks, sorry if I sound like a complete newb, but this is all new to me. :)
the qx7 with this module will bind to flysky receivers.
Thank you for replying. I was told that using the module might not be best for outdoor use, that the range will suffer and the module is more for use for small drones in close proximity or indoor micro drones.
I appreciate the feedback.
The module is only 1/2 of the range equation. If our quad has a poor receiver that could hurt the range with any radio/module. I think i show that it has good range with the equipment I tested with.
Nick Burns have you used it with any bnf spektrum dsmx planes? I'm having an issue with the qx7 warning me about "rf signal low/critical" and sometimes with further range it even states telemetry lost. I have it bound with a spektrum 636a with SAFE Select. I haven't actually lost control during any of my flights but I'm worried about the range and stability.
If you have to pick between devo 10 and x7 which one would you choose?
devo 10. The formfactor is still good, and there is more room to add a 4 in 1 module, if you choose to do that.
thats pretty awesome. ive been wondering about something like this for the hobby transmitters. would you need a different module for the hobby grade protocals?
they are included
Way better and way cheaper then spektrums dm9 module plus being able to use dsmx with 11ms! Cherry on top yes pleas!
Nick, Do you know if this will work on a Furibee f36, Boldclash b06 and jjrc h31? Thanks.
Sorry I don't know for sure. I would poke around on the deviationtx website.
the boldclash is bayang protocol, the furibee i don't think is supported and I do not know what protocol the h31 is but I really want to fly it with the taranis. I wish there was a list of what quad will work with a certain protocol. I only have about 30 of these toy quads and most use a known protocol but there are quite a few that I don't know the protocol, I should just st down and go through all the unknowns and try to bind them one protocol at a time, but that sucks to plug and unplug the battery every time you try a new protocol and there are a lot of them in the module. sorry for the long comment.
Wow!!! What a video!
Digging into the archives eh?
@@NickBurnsFPV 😂 It was recommended to me by youtube!
But yeah I do occasionally take a look back in time.
Your content has been consistently high quality, very informative and easy listening/Watching
I cant get this modual to work on my nirvan do you have any suge
I can't say, I don't have the nirvana.
have you tried a long range antenna with the irx4 module yet?
I haven't. I fly almost exclusively fpv, likely loose fpv signal before rc link.
I’m now very enriched bro thanks! Have you any lists made up of the protocols for it on pdf etc?🤔🤔😃👍🏻👏
I don't, but I do believe the product page has a full list.
Nick Burns thanks for your reply bro!:)👌👌
Will this work on the new taranis x9d plus radios?
415bryant Yes it will
Hi Nick I am having a problem with my Taranis Plus ever since i upgraded to 2.2 version . I can't get into bootloader mode, all I get is the backlight and a blank screen, and when I attempt to download firmware I get the message "Splash screen not found"
I don't understand what that means. It would be great if someone could help with this.
Start with a generic google search. www.google.com/search?q=taranis+doesn%27t+boot&oq=taranis+doesn%27t+boot&aqs=chrome..69i57.5639j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Thanks for the link Nick, i have my bootloader back, though it is the Taranis one not STM32. My Taranis is missing sound, beeps and haptic activity, and will not connect to PC, I think i have tried every suggestion that other users have made.
cant we use the devo 10 antenna on the irange?
I don't see why not, as long as the connector is correct.
cool, I think the devo 10 has a high gain antenna. How is the range on the irx4? is as good as stock devo and spectrum?
Nice. I thing the devo 10 antenna is a high gain so gonna do that.
How is the range on the module. Is it on par with stock walkera and spektrum?
Link to module is broken.
working fine on my phone and computers.
Does it do telemetry for dsm receivers?
FPV Jos It will do telemetry for DSM
Ok thank you, but why does the screen on model setup says "status no telemetry" for the dsm protocol?
FPV Jos because that line is for multi_module telemetry and not rx telemetry.
The idea is that the module tells the transmitter what version of the protocol your using. But I didn't get that to work with the IRangeX module. It does work with the older atmega version.
Great review! gonna get my taranis soon:)
Nice. What are you using now?
Radiolink at9, seems like radio not really for miniqads and sticks feels pretty wear off.
Also want to try different modules in future, like yours and something long range:)
My first quad was also a syma x5c. :-)
From Italy grazie!!!nice 😎💪👏
thank you
How do you arm your models, cheers.
I use a switch to arm. This allows us to confirm it will arm in betaflight before going out to fly.
Oh, OK, I am trying to arm a Syma X5C and a Hubsan X4. My Hubsan and Syma bind but I can not get them to fly : /
Oh, that type of model doesn't have arming I don't think. Once they are bound and on we should be able to just throttle up. Might need more tweaking of the radio to get it to operate those quads.
Wow a copy off of the 4n1 module for the Devo transmitters...If it's as good as they are it should be a winner i have 2 devo 12s transmitters both with the 4n1 modules and they work flawlessly..And they only require soldering 3 wires unlike the old method of adding each module individually ..
What about the Horizon line of UMX planes,can I use this radio for airplanes or is this for quads only? Sounds like it is a quad only radio. Nothing wrong with that. I only have a couple quads,personally I prefer flying helicopters and planes,Quads bore me,no challenge really.
I can't say with any certainty, I have not had any UMX planes.
RC Hobbyist Extreme UMX is Spektrum protocol I believe, so DSMX/DSM2 should work.
Just out of curiosity and if you don't mind me asking, have you flown a quadcopter in acro mode? I ask because planes are something I have loved for years and got pretty good at flying them, aerobatics and all that good stuff.
My first hour or two with Q7 ( syma x5c clone ) and I knew it would not last as I did not even drain all my batteries and went home lol.
I have only flew acro on freerider ( a simulator ) I purchased the full version one for $4.99 a couple of weeks ago, that's when I woke up again and realised how much of a challenge a good race or freestyle quad in acro mode is to fly well, try snappy mode one then two then custom it up more if ya like.
I actually started getting bored with sport planes and now this has brought me back to rc.
FPV race style quads for me is a new dimension of the hobby that I'm loving.
I fully agree that toy syma type quads get boring fast if you have been flying planes or heli's.
Funny thing is, heli's were not really my thing although with FPV they may have been. For belting through gates and around trees with cheap replacement props I feel quads are where it's at for me.
It may be worth your while to try freerider free version in acro if you haven't already.
Horses for courses apply here I guess though :)
Suggestions
I don't think I can give up my Devo 8s because of the butter sticks! LOL Nice to see these things getting out there though. I imagine the X7 sticks feel better then the devo 10 though right? Does this module increase the number of channels available since it is using OpentTX ? Curious about that sense Deviation software does.. I have friends however that don't want to do any soldering even though the new 4 in 1 mods on the Devo's are only 3 wires to solder except for the 7e. Great Stuff as always Nick!
I do think the sticks are smoother on the x7, but unless I am going back and forth between the radios I can't say I would notice.
Nick Burns I I hear what you're saying I don't often notice much difference in the Sticks on radios. then I got my Devo 8s and I could not believe the difference in the feel from the sticks on the 8s. it was honestly the first time I ever noticed a difference in radio gimbals.
And oh I am a new subscriber I've been watching a lot of videos by everybody because I would love to build my own quad but as for now I think I'm going to buy something almost ready to fly hopefully but I really like your channel in this particular you about the eye range multi module but please if you can let me know if it will fly the sky Viper s1700 thanks
Welcome to the hobby, you will surely have a lot of fun. I don't have the Sky Viper to test, I would suggest searching for it on the deviationtx.com website.
I would suggest people not purchase this from banggood. I purchased one for my taranis qx7 because the concept is fantastic. Unfortunately like many others, it has constant and random dropouts. I contacted banggood and they just replied that it was not covered by warranty. I attempted to contact I range multiple times but they will not reply. Finally I ended up going to buy an orange module

one more reason to quit flying
I got this FRSKY 20S and I wanted to program this thing so I could fly my RC model here in my ranch. not to fly a SpaceX or NASA rocket into orbit. Cause im not a rocket scientist…
I’m gonna return this transmitter tomorrow. This is just a bad nightmare. Couldn’t even find those menus. Very frustrating to try to switch to this radio brand. What’s the best brand ? The old one JR that works wonders. Not going thru this.
