Growl Audio vs others

[PePeLePew]

I also just purchased a Growl HU to replace the Panasonic HU on my Altis 2014, mainly for its GPS function and DVD/movie player on top of the radio. Before the replacement, sound quality was already bad, probably due to the low quality speakers. After the replacement, bass became noticeable but the higher and mid frequencies were still flat. I'll replace the stock speakers (paper cone) with Rockford Fosgate (Mylar cone): separates for the front and 3-way co-axial for the rear that I salvaged from my old CRV.

Any suggestions for a shop that can install my Rockford Fosgates? Some shop that does professional installation. By professional, I mean, a shop whose employees use gloves to avoid smudging the car's surfaces, among others.

By the way, TV reception is poor. I guess it will improve once digital broadcast goes on line. I'm sure a digital module should be available as an add-on to my Growl HU.

I was told that the HU can only read avi video files. So I need to convert all my mp4 files to avi.

More, it takes a long time to read files on my 8gb USB stick. I haven't tried the SD slot.

What did you mean upgrading of Accumap is available only for MM?

boss pa pm naman price ng growl hu mo..thanks!

ano kaya mas ok growl or pioneer 5650?

If growl, windows or android?

in terms of price halos pareho yung Growl na windows and Pioneer (around 20K). Yung Android is 45K - sulit pa kaya to?

salamat!

Windows ce ang os ng growl, which makes it able to run Garmin software. Free din ang map updates sa growl, punta ka lang sa kanila. Di pa ko nagtry pa-upgrade ng map, maybe this month kung sipagin. What i do not like is that the default language is chinese. Pag di mo na set ng maayos ang gps then you open it and it will be in chinese. Manghuhula ka ngayon anong icon ang dapat mo pindutin to get to the set up utility so you can set the language to english.

What i read before about avt e hirap sila looking for maps updates. Not sure about now baka nagbago na. Chinese din yata origin nito so expect chinese to be the default language also.

Ok naman ang growl, it can read even the worst pirated dvd. The only complaint is the usb, pag malaki ang usb like 8gig matagal siya magbasa. Need mo din ng good quality usb, pero that is a given naman na kasi bakit ka bibili ng class 6 kung konti lang difference sa class 10. Yung sd card reader nya ok naman, kahit 16gig kayang basahin. Di ko pa na-try sa 32gig sd card so yun wala ako alam. Yung ipod/iphone connection nya nasa loob ng glove box, same as aux in. Some like it that way since nakatago, me i don't care since i do not use apple products. My samsung phone connects to the usb.

Radio is as good as any radio.

Sound quality, well presets lang ang adjustments - rock, classical, jazz, pop then bass and trebel, and loud (more bass). Ok naman, lalo na pag nagpalit ka ng speakers. Pero don't go looking for something like sound quality ng pioneer, growl is a china product and we get what we pay for.

Touch screen is easy, sensitive enough for a car hu. Hindi siya ipad or galaxy note kaya wag ka maghanap ng ganun ka responsive na touch screen. And it is lcd, not led. Good contrast even in broad daylight and lightly tinted windows.

Back up camera is very good even at night, and di nasisilaw ng headlights ng kotse sa likod.

Wala siyang back-up battery/capacitor for the memory, so pag na-disconnect ang battery ng car (during pms, for example) e burado lahat ng settings mo.

Ask ko lng kung may idea kayo n kapag Brand new at nagpakabit ako ng Growl Audio eh di mavovoid ang warranty ng car ko. Please help sa may idea.

Yup, mavovoid, in case may nangyaring electrical fault at may nasira or nasunog wala kang habol. Mukhang ok naman ang installation ng Growl make sure na ok pagkabit nila ng wirings at nailagay yung fuse.


Nagpakabit kasi ako dati ng foglights nakalimutan lagyan ng fuse, buti nacheck ko, 2x na ako nagpalit ng busted fuse, kaya mahalaga talaga ito.

As long as no splicing is involved your warranty should be good

Nagpainstall din ako last weekend, yung Windows CE variant yung kinuha ko. May android headunit na rin sila, pero mas mahal. So far, ok naman sya. Isang observation ko ay yung ipod compatibility nya eh para lang sa mga lumang iPods (yung 30-pin connector pa ang cable na gamit), tapos wala ring shuffle function. Medyo nanibago lang ako kasi yung stock headunit ko dati eh kaya i-shuffle yung mga kanta sa iPod touch ko.

Yung navigation software na gamit nila is Sygic. accurate naman base sa testing ko sa San Juan area.

Kaya rin nya magsync sa phone mo via bluetooth. After ma-sync, pwede í-save yung contacts sa head unit para pwede na dial sa headunit. Nadetect nya yung Lumia na phone ko (which hindi ko na inexpect kasi konti lang gumagamit ng Lumia :D).

My TV tuner rin sya. Hindi ko masyado nagagamit, konti lang ang nasasagap na channel sa area ko.

Yung GrowlAudio HU ko pinakabitan ko ng BlackBox. Yung built in tuner kasi ng Growl Audio is analog.

Question: can I use OSM navigation in a Windows CE based HU?

Guys whats the difference of the Generic Android head units thats being sold sa mga car shops or online vs sa Growl units other than marketing nila? Parang at least 10-15k more expensive sa Growl.
