Hi again. Here's a n update on my Android unit.
I've had many exchanges with China. They provided 1/2dozen software upgrades to fix the HVAC buttons. Each upgrade made no difference.
I decided to give up, and send the unit back to China for repair.
I removed the unit from the dash, and as one last test, and plugged it back in, sitting on the foot well. The damn thing worked, the HVAC buttons were responsive.
I put the unit back in the dash. It's been 2 weeks since, and have had no further fails.
I can't explain why it now works. It could have been the software upgrades. I suspect that the unit cleared its memory by being disconnected from the car. Don't know, but I'm happy that the thing is working again, as I suspect the cost to return would have been close to the original cost of the unit.
I hope this helps you. I can probably find a way to provide the software upgrades if you like, but as I said, not sure if this was the fix.
Good luck.
Dave
