Bought a Witson Android head unit for our car…
Bought from Witson in China a Android Sat Nav head unit for our car a Jaguar XE, which came direct from the manufacturers.
The video for install was for the wrong car, No install or operating instructions with the unit when it arrived, when they did send them they too were for a different model
I doubt I have ever come across a more problematic piece of IT related equipment in all my years,
It fails to integrate with the car in a number of important respects, phone doesn`t mute radio on calls, fails to engage parking sensors in reverse gear or while going forward.
Multiple `factory resets` fail to help, loosing USB inputs on one occasion.
When technical support is reduced to relayed messages through a technician who contradicts themselves, it’s not support—it’s a game of broken telephone. And it leaves me doing unpaid quality control for a product that should’ve been tested before it ever left the factory.
The mismatch between the unit and our Jaguar XE’s systems—no radio muting during calls, parking sensors failing to engage, USB ports vanishing post-reset—is not just inconvenient, it’s a breach of basic functionality expectations.
Support from the factory is via WhatApp messaging and relayed through a `technician` often getting contradictory advice and instruction which fails to deal with the main faults,
Just to add fuel to the fire they won`t, despite asking twice, give me a returns address
Would I recommend.....an absolute and categoric NO!
