@MADNESSSsss - I think since the Gathers one supports Apple CarPlay life has become a bit easier. It shows the time on my phone and can use maps. But the time in the multi info display is still the Jap time. Nope, unfortunately the time did reset after I changed from Android to Gathers.

@MADNESSSsss audio quality was good. The resolution and the menu was good too. When you change the climate settings it appeared in the head unit, also you could meddle with the time and other settings which then got reflected on the multi-information display in the dashboard. You could also change climate settings from it. Cons for me - 1. Unavailability of Apple CarPlay 2. There was a configuration that made it think the car was left hand drive. So when you steer right while reversing the guidelines turned the opposite way. It worked fine the first few days then all of a sudden switched to being LHD. 3. Also I liked the proper guidelines in the Gathers with the 3 camera options, which I missed while using the Android unit. To be honest I didn’t spend a lot of time with it to give you a proper review. I just felt it wasn’t worth 55,000. Since the Kenwood ones I’ve bought before in the same range had much better audio quality. Therefore decided to buy the map SD card for 20,000.

@MADNESSSsss - I faced the same situation. Looked like our one got nicked at the port. Tried a few options like fitting a Chinese head unit that came for the CRV. It was Android and costed about 55k. There was no need to do anything to the wiring since it was simply plug and play. But it had some issues and thought the best option would be to find a map card. Attached some pictures of it. There’s this place I go to for my audio stuff In Kandy since a few years now and that guy found a map card but it costed me 20k. But I’ve never been happier. Apple CarPlay works like a charm, which is all I wanted for now. I remember him having a few extra ones as well, so let me know.

Hi @danss70, going through the same issue you did . Couldn’t find any of these SD cards up for sale though. Hows the experience so far?
