Okay, I’ve reviewed the provided text and images about the Ottocast Aibox i3. Here’s a summary of the key points regarding its functioning and equipment, along with some observations:
Functioning & Equipment Summary:
Connection: The Aibox i3 connects to the car via a USB cable. It then presents itself as a “Mobile device” in the car’s connect menu.
Operating System: It runs on Android 13.
Connection Type: Even though it’s Android, it connects through the car’s WLAN/Apple CarPlay interface. Initial Setup:
It requires pairing codes, similar to connecting a smartphone.
The system displays a data protection notice upon initial startup, but the screen layout isn’t fully optimized for the in-vehicle display.
App Updates:
the pre-installed version of Disney+ was outdated and didn’t run initially.
Attempting to update via the Google Play Store failed. It required registration and CAPTCHA, and the update still didn’t work. The review found success updating Disney+ using an alternative app store called APKPURE.
APKPURE includes advertising, including some perhaps misleading ads.
Streaming: After updating Disney+ through APKPURE, the reviewer was able to log in and stream content (Simpsons). The streaming was reported to be smooth, and audio/video were synchronized. Slots: The device has slots for SIM and memory card.
Observations and Potential issues:
Compatibility: Connecting via Apple CarPlay despite being an Android device suggest it’s designed to bridge the gap between Android apps and vehicles designed for Apple’s ecosystem.
Update Process: The failed Google Play Store update and the need to use APKPURE is a significant drawback. It suggests potential issues with Google Play Store certification or compatibility. APKPURE, while functional, comes with the risk of potentially harmful ads.
User Experience: The initial setup and update process seem clunky and potentially confusing for the average user. The mention of screen layout not being optimized further suggests that this device could need some refinement to be truly user-friendly.
In essence,the Ottocast Aibox i3 appears to offers functionality,but might require some technical savvy from the end-user to get everything running smoothly,especially when it comes to app updates. The reliance on APKPURE for updates raises concerns about security and user experience as of advertising.
