You gain a much high fidelity media source for your oem or aftermarket stereo, you gain access to every app within the android App Store, you gain vehicle obd connectivity, you gain much larger backup/360 camera overview, the list goes on. The sync 3 pass through is an excellent feature but just scratches the surface.

Here is where you buy gen 3:

Thanks for the reply. We’re an Apple household, so this would be our only Android device. Would you mind doing a video or write up explaining how you use it and what your favorite features are? I feel like the demo they did showed that things actually work, but didn’t really show how someone might use it. I’d just love thoughts and examples from an owner/user.

Thanks...DH

Here is a pretty robust conversation of information/explanation of features.

Let me know if you guys need anything else. I will do my best to answer all of your questions.

Auto Hotspot
Thaks for this Killintime,

I tried it with LG GThinQ 8.0 Android & while it does show BT Connected in Tasker, it gives message 'An error occured while executing Action: Wake Device!"

Any ideas?

Aw man... I haven't messed with this in a while and it didn't seem as anyone was interested so I don't even use this anymore. Sorry dude.

I only used the trial versions of everything so when the trials were over, I quit using it.

I seem to remember there was a "Wake Screen" command in one the apps that I listed.

That is a feature being worked on. Someone on the raptor forum requested it.

How long did it take for y'all to receive your unit? I ordered mine 9 days ago and just got an email saying 7-10 business days plus another 3-4 to ship it

Same here. I ordered on the 7th. The Chinese New Year is what is causing delays. They had a banner on their website about it.

Has anyone who ordered recently received shipping updates or the radio itself? Ordered 2 weeks ago and still nothing.
