Yeah, that kinda bugged me too. No solution around it. To go through your presets, hit the up arrow on the actual dash controls. It actually works out pretty well, my hand can rest across the shifter and I just use my middle finger to hit the up arrowBefore installing the Tomtop, I would scroll through my radio preset channels by using the arrow on the steering wheel. With the Tomtop, that same arrow button on my steering wheel basically scans to find the next channel, which is not necessarily my next preset channel. Is there any way to fix this in the settings? I like to use that button to go through my preset channels. Am I missing something here? Thanks.
With the price tho, I would say such grade of customer service is somewhat expected and acceptable for me.So what I am gathering from reading this thread and a bit of others on here that the software used with the Tomtop just taps into the car's Sync system but is not using My Ford Touch. Just a knockoff MFT UI correct?
And with all these issues people are talking about does Tomtop offer Firmware upgrades and if so where do they post them? I didn't see anything on their site.
My only concern is if there is no support from Tomtop with their product what's the point buying this if there is still issues that need fixing and what if phone compatibility issues arise as Apple and Samsung - among others - upgrade their OS year after year.
And noticing that people are having issues getting full refunds for defective products and no customer support for some turns me off. BUT I really want this to be a solution! HA. So someone talk me into it.
Yeah but if you get a defective unit and they only offer a 50% refund it's rolling the dice and pissing your money away.With the price tho, I would say such grade of customer service is somewhat expected and acceptable for me.
Yeah I know that feeling. But thats kinda the only option out there. The tomtop unit is close to the stock unit and has similar system. I really hope someone can come up with some better units and I wouldn't mind spend like 1000bucks if it works flawlessly. At the moment tho, I would just spend 300bucks and just use it as a GPSYeah but if you get a defective unit and they only offer a 50% refund it's rolling the dice and pissing your money away.
As much as I want a shiny 8" screen in my center console I don't want it to be buggy and crap out 8mo later and have to tear my dash apart agin.
I wouldn't worry about the software updates on the phones. Essentially all the Tomptop unit is doing is connecting to the device via bluetooth and then the Sync system takes over from there. I don't see updates being an issue unless they completely change the way bluetooth works, which wouldn't make sense because of the existing market for the way bluetooth currently works.So what I am gathering from reading this thread and a bit of others on here that the software used with the Tomtop just taps into the car's Sync system but is not using My Ford Touch.

Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear that! What seller was it?Wish I would have got lucky. Still waiting for a resolution from eBay. Everything works but there is no picture. Even the touch screen works lol.
Same one i got it in 9 days and it worked for a whole day and then blank screen.:frusty:Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear that! What seller was it?
My seller's name was "Newmango". It arrived in 3 days (from LA to Nor Cal) and the unit has been excellent!
That's awful, bro. I'm sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how frustrating that is. So I guess I did get lucky.Same one i got it in 9 days and it worked for a whole day and then blank screen.:frusty:
That's a great point. I normally use Pandora so I never noticed that until today.Before installing the Tomtop, I would scroll through my radio preset channels by using the arrow on the steering wheel.
