Clarion VX406AU

Clarion Head unit VX406AU piece of crap – Really, after months of dealing with the seller and Clarion I am done with cheap hardware running old dysfunctional software. I wanted to listen to USB stick music and after 2-3 songs without a touch the hole unit froze, had to be restarted. Happened every time, used a 64GB SanDisk. I wanted to display the rear camera view, but couldn't change the angle. Only one setting for camera view, 'sound on/off. I wanted to listen to Bluetooth music from Iphone. Ones connection established I couldn't start music from the head unit, only from Iphone. Half a minute later the head unit control became available. The remote is cheap, the manual control difficult to handle when driving. You push ones but get double feedback, fields are too close to each other. Also it was not possible to listen to a complete folder of music, only one folder/album can be chosen. Sound is bad. I now run a Fusion MS-RA70 and be surprised that not the speakers were the problem. Firmware upgrade brought no change. Sending it to the seller/ forwarding to Clarion brought no change. They did a firmware upgrade not mentioning it, just said, no faults detected.

When I received the stereo back Clarion informed they did an upgrade for SIRI support!

Clarion accepted to take it back and refunded.

This is just an older model but I am quite confident that all other Clarion models have the same level of quality and support.
