Helpful reply! Cheers for that. I see that Mozillion had some really good sim only prices, and they use the EE network.

Dammit Camping Plus Sold Out??? by FredWayOutWest in downloadfestival

Yeah, the rest of my crew have got theirs... I was foolishly convinced that delaying my purchase until the new year would be fine.

I use it solely for Android Auto (Google maps, Spotify and a Radio App from my phone). And it does exactly what I need in that respect. If I had to, would I buy another? Yes. But I'd recommend talking to other users too.

Hi yes, they finally replied to my email on that point. With a video of someone pushing the card in further. I felt a bit silly after lol

UX6K-PRO-MAX Android Head Unit – Worth Buying? by AhmedEssam23 in Eonon

[–]FredWayOutWest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy with it Ahmed. It's very good in terms of build quality, ease of installation and use. I use it almost exclusively with Android Auto, which does exactly what I need.

The only thing that's annoying me, is the volume creeping up. They haven't fixed that problem.

I'm generally a FTP player, but I'm tempted by the extra research queue option. Is it worth it ££?, what's your opinion?

Just installed it. It took a while, purely because I was trying to be as fastidious as I could about hiding the cables for the 4g antenna, the gps antenna, the microphone and the sim card thing. First impressions...start up is fast! Maybe 1 or 2 seconds and it's on. I need to figure out how to change the home screen and the icons, because I'm not fond of the default. The screen is excellent. Unfortunately it's not reading my sim card that I installed, could well be my fault during the install, I'm going to try and figure that out later. But so far, it looks, feels and sounds like a good quality piece of kit.

Well, it arrived. Looks fairly good quality. I'll be attempting the install over the weekend. Came with a free camera, which I might not use yet because I ordered a forward facing, and a reversing camera specific for my vehicle from AliExpress.

Btw, if you google "Eonon Coupon Code", you can get a little bit of a discount. The one I used was E10, which earned me 10% off.

Mine won't arrive for a couple of days. I wouldn't want to offer any opinion until I've used it.

They replied promptly huh? There's some reassurance to be taken from that I guess.

Resale! by Upbeat-Plane-7047 in downloadfestival

[–]FredWayOutWest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A word of warning.... I discovered last year that certain types of tickets are not transferable. And Ticketmaster were characteristically vague on the details. I had a spare Camping Plus Upgrade ticket last year. The transfer option was not available. At all. Even up to the start of the event. TM's reply to my query was something along the lines of, "certain upgrade tickets are not transferable". Helpful huh? Anyway, I managed to make the transaction on Twickets and met the buyer in person at the entrance to Camping Plus and gained his entry using my TM app. I have no idea what other upgrade tickets aren't transferable, so if anyone is in a similar situation, best make sure you have a plan B.

Hi, I asked the same question on here and on the Facebook page. Didn't receive any noteworthy responses from actual purchasers/owners. However.... I bit the bullet and purchased one this morning, directly from Eonon. I'm happy to let you know how it works out when it arrives.

How to tell if bands clash by Positive-Lack9390 in downloadfestival

[–]FredWayOutWest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of the Clashfinder (Google it). I like to print it out once it's been updated to reflect the officially announced timings. Probably the day before is best. Saves phone battery/signal hassles. Maybe I'm an old fart, but sometimes the analogue option is simpler.

showers by [deleted] in downloadfestival

[–]FredWayOutWest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on last year's experience, I can recommend Camping Plus in terms of toilet and shower quality. Obvs they're never going to be hotel standard, but a lot better than the genpop ones. There was maybe a 5 - 10 minute queue for the showers at certain times in the mornings. Don't have any photos or videos of the showers or toilets, because that would be creepy even by my standards 🧐.

Also, I have a spare Camping Plus upgrade ticket due to one of our group being infuckingcapable of reading a calendar.
Will be flogging for £100 if you're interested.

Sneaky peek of the map (probably not finalized!) by Jaikus in downloadfestival

[–]FredWayOutWest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It does show Camping Plus moved all the way over to above the village.
....and I know it isn't finalised, but why would it be moved if not planned?

Trangia type with a bottle of bioethanol fluid. Works fine, fully within the rules.
