If/when they release a faster, higher resolution model I’ll be first in line. But I have no regrets over the PX6.

Is it the boot up or the general use that is slow? Is the menu not as crisp looking as stock?
I think the resolution is way better than stock 8" screen. The problem is that it can be glitchy. Sometimes by rear camera just doesn't kick on. It's intermittent and I can't recreate it. Also the handshake going back and forth between Sync and Android has its own little nuances. When its 100% it's great. When it's not it can be inconvenient. So IMO the software side of the house still isn't that mature. I would still get it again though.
Do you have the Serg firmware? Wondering how much of a difference that makes.

Sergey’s fw makes a big difference, but I still get the random issue where audio won’t switch from sync, and if I go into reverse before the Console app has loaded, the backup cam will freeze once it loads in the background. If I wait for Console to load first, it never freezes. I have the Android 8 model without fastboot, so it takes around 30 seconds usually to fully get up and running.

You can get an app from Phoenix that lets you wireless CarPlay to the tablet I think.

Yea I have the 9.1 fastboot px6 with the wireless CarPlay from Phoenix. It works ok for a bit but seems to degrade. Waze seems to have issues with screen rendering after about 5 minutes it starts rendering weird blocky artifacts on the screen. Apple and Google maps doesn’t have the issue. Plugging the iPhone usb cable into the CarPlay dongle gets rid of those issues so it’s probably just some issue with their memory management efficiency with wireless CarPlay.
Other than that this unit has been way less buggy than the px3 unit and I’m quite happy with it. Upgrading to Serg’s firmware makes it even better.

Ok so I'm just wondering but what is the point of carplay or android auto with this? The only time I've used it is before I had the PX6. The PX6 is basically a tablet so I just run the apps straight off the unit and it has its own dedicated wifi source from the trucks hotspot. Am I missing something here that makes running the phone in carplay or AA worth while?
