    Carsync tech decoder issue. I installed the supplied jump drive to update my firmware, I waited until the glow stopped, then shut everything down and rebooted. To which I received this screen, it’s locked up tighter than a drum.. anyone have this issue? How did you fix it?
    Thanks,

    You ever get a solution? I've been having issues with mine too, different problems. Their tech support is sending me a replacement module altogether... Hope it helps. I'd reach out

    Yes, customer support got back with me within the hour and said the included jump drive had an assortment of files for a variety of stereos. They then sent me the correct file, I removed said files from jump drive, and placed the ones they sent me onto the drive. Reinstalled per instructions and had it up within a few minutes.
    Very happy so far, and everything seems to works well. Their support group was on the ball. I did a 500 miles round trip over new years, and liked the map/routing a lot. Simply mapped the route the night before on my iPhone and it launched in the taco upon startup. Wireless. I was able to jam to Sirius via the steering wheel controls, and still have the map on screen, full screen no less. It took some trial and error with the contrast settings and such, to get a good screen, but over all, much better than the encore 2.0 I had previously.
    Hope ya got it all working.
    Ohhh average speed was around 63MPH.. quickest I’ve ever done it.

    I've had my CST unit for just over a year now. I don't recall being concerned about pinching a cable but it's been fine. I've used it on many road trips and absolutely love having google maps on the dash.

    Just ordered and installed the carsync tech unit. I took a chance and kept the xm radio module connected. It was a bit tight getting everything back in there, but it all fit. It seems to work well except I can’t seem to get my OBD Fusion app to display. That was one of the high ranking reasons to get CarPlay. Anybody else have the same situation? My anytime backup camera works just fine.

    The OBD Fusion app works for me but it only shows a list of 4 PIDs you have to set up in the carplay settings on your phone. It does not display your OBD Fusion dashboard on the head unit screen. Can you tell me what anytime camera setup you have? I have the carsync tech unit and I want to add the anytime camera mod with a front camera, but I want to make sure it is compatible with the carsync unit.

    Thanks, I figured out the OBD issue, or rather what it does display.

    I use the Germes camera system. Let me know if you need more details.
