I tried the developer mode thing before to no avail. I've mostly got used to the noise now. It's running really well, hasn't missed a beat.

Edit: I tried tapping developer mode again, a lot, and something did happen, it came up with a number pad, I assume to type in some sort of pass, I tried the usual, 1234, 0000, 123456, but they did not work

FYI, I had a play with this as mine arrived today, if you go to Settings -> Firmware Info, then tap "Firmware Version" you'll get to that screen you showed in your photo, the password is 888888, but it looks like there are no factory settings because it then says "Developer settings not available yet!" (something like that anyway). Is it possible to update the firmware on the unit from podofo and there's an update available which has this?

Also, you can tap the other version number at the bottom and get into all the tests (brightness, wifi, bluetooth, power button, touch screen) etc, but you need to clear your connections to the unit first.

Oh, I did mean to mention (and I am sure you already know) but obviously you can only install the bottom 2 screws before sticking it to the dash!, I am sure it holds just fine with the top 2, in fact it might be better for being able to adjust the viewing angle.

What do you mean? I've got all 4 screws in, I'm about to go put it on the dash though so maybe be about to find out what you mean..


- Edit: Got what you meant, install bottom 2 screws before putting on the sticky pad, yup.

Doesn't impede from the driver's view at all.
