Hey guys, ordered Myvi 1.5 Advance two weeks ago from my local dealer. It’ll be my first car, so apologies for being such a noob. Never really driven a car before, except my mother’s old Iswara around my taman and going to the market, etc.
I’ve been following this forum and the facebook groups for weeks now, but I noticed that nobody really reviewed the touchscreen head unit (forgive me if I missed an actual review about it).
I’m curious whether :
1. Is it an android based? If so, which version?
2. Is it really just ‘meh’?
3. How is the navigation? Good enough to use instead of Waze or Google Maps?
4. How does the bluetooth answering call function works? Is it totally hands-free? Does it use our phone’s microphone or does it has its own microphone?
I’m asking these questions because I think navigation is really important to me as I’m not familiar with Malaysia’s roads yet and I am a very inexperienced driver. Living in KL, I used public transport half of my life, and then I studied in another country for my degree, so I really have no to very little experience regarding this matter. Now I’m waiting for my intake to start working, and I decided to buy this car. Moreover, my music is really important to me, so yeah, I really want to know the details about the head unit, if anyone can kindly provide.
I’ve also found a usb dongle from Lazada that can be used in any Android 4.4.2 (or later) head unit to allow for iPhone users to use Carplay. The youtube review for it is quite impressive.
If anyone can enlighten me regarding this, I’d really much appreciate it. Thank you in Advance. (see my pun?)
i dun think the head unit is Android based.
you can still open navigation app on your phone, just get a phone holder and that's it.
bluetooth answering works by connecting the phone and the head unit via BT, then it will use the car's microphone.
and i suggest u to try out the music quality first before rushing to change it, who knows u can accept it and save u money?
