Isudar Carplay for PCM 3.1
#1351
I had similar with pulling and shaking all the cables when it was connected in the car (but not back in the hole) and I couldn’t get it to cut out. So I’ve now removed it and put it back to stock for the moment. Taking out those antenna cables are such a pain in the **** that I’m not in any rush to try it again (The purple one in particular is a hateful thing). Hopefully the slow shipping back to China will give them enough time to come up with a new hardware revision or a new run of boards without this issue as I can’t face installing it again to have the same issue.

Had to return unit as static noise was unbearable whilst PCM functioned normally. (see previous threads) - Took about 4 months plus shipping time to resolve with Isudar but they finally sent a refund. Pity because it looked very promising graphically at least.

However, I’m holding off sending anything back. Because unless they find a fix, I will simply ask for a full refund on the premise the product isn’t fit for person for the full amount. And failing that, take the matter up with my credit card legal team. May be I’m optimistic, but hoping the new mcu fix the problem. But before I mess around I want confidence that it has worked for isudar customers who’ve experienced the same problem.

Hi Alex, seems you have/ had the same issue as me, and hoping you, @Prince Li or other can advise how to fix it.
I've had two boards. The first board- (April 2023) kept randomly cutting turning off/ resetting when setting off slowly, or turning hard into bends. The PCM remained powered and returned to AUX screen, then the Isudar home screen returned 10-15 seconds later. So I thought it was down to a bad power connection to the Isudar board so spoke to @kimi and she supplied a new board.
Replaced everything with the new kit, and at first everything seemed ok. But then the same problem returned. PCM remains powered yet now I needed to do a hard reset holding the INFO button down - to reboot the systems for it to restart. After a five day/ 1500+mile road trip around Scotland this is what I've noticed:
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The unit is great (when it works), but when I need a unit I can rely on a 100% of the time.
TIA

After a five day/ 1500+mile road trip around Scotland this is what I've noticed:
- It's not related to CarPlay - happens when I'm on the Isudar Home Screen
- Generally the Isudar runs fine 90% of the time even on really really bumpy roads, hard breaking/ accelerating
- Occasionally randomly resets when I reach 27mph very slowly, with smooth gear changes on smooth road.
- Harsh cornering/ accerlation often induces a reset
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The unit is great (when it works), but when I need a unit I can rely on a 100% of the time.

It seems the problem is only affecting UK cars... which suggests a hardware/compatibility issue (or the Brits are simply cocking up the installs). I've a firmware update to try... fingers crossed.
Hope this helps.

So it seems Kimi, was banned from here so she is not seeing anyone's messages. She has asked if anyone is experiencing the same problems @alex.qts or other to email her on this address: kimi@isudar.co.

Fixes to previous pcm/ info reboots - full factory reset. Giving this ago before trying the new patch.

So this DAB, is it a UK version of XM or is it something else entirely? Is it a daughter board sitting above the main like the XM board?

Yeah, I suspect its something like that. Interesting as a friend has bought two Isudars - one for him. One for his dad. Both with 981s - yet one has DAB. The other doesn't. So we will see.
