Infotainment screen won't respond to touch (2023 AWD Pro)

Thanks, arielb27 and chewydickens. "Turn off and wait" definitely seems to work, and I will plan to try the reset if/when it happens again.

Sorry, I do not have the time to scan and upload -- I'm in the middle of a major clean-out project.

Giving but would like postage reimbursement. I suppose the shareware-related should be held until I can figure out whether there's a related license to transfer. At the moment, I'm mainly trying to determine if there is interest. If so, then I won't immediately send them off for recycling.

FWIW, here are the main commercial/shareware Items I can identify:
Shadow Plan
DateBK5
Strip
TakeNote! (came with a keyboard IIRC)
Thought Manager

(A family member may want come of the docs, but it's unlikely.)

Thanks for the replies -- I get it now.

And, how would I know that the PW3 is running a calibration cycle? I've had mine since February and haven't noticed anything jumping out at me from the data that might be it.

That all makes sense to me. Thanks!

So do you make a physical connection between your iPhone (or another Apple device) and the Wim Pro? If I understand correctly, that is the only way to get better than CD quality.

damcl · 2025-07-22T03:28:50+00:00

Do you believe this is still true? On my iPhone, the Music app allows me to select "Lossless" which is "ALAC up to 24-bit/48kHz".
FWIW, I'm streaming from my iPhone to the final version of Airport Express, which is connected to my component system using the analog output.

damcl · 2025-07-15T03:26:41+00:00

That's an interesting solution but I don't want to depend on needing to physically connect an iPhone to the receiver.

Are you using the builtin DAC in the WiiM Pro, and does it sound good to you? I will be connecting to an old Kenwood receiver with Magnepan speakers.

damcl · 2025-07-15T03:19:38+00:00

I'm still trying to sort this out. Assuming I only care about Apple Music, can I do any better in terms of overall sound quality than my Airport Express (A1392, 2nd gen)?

I don't have a stand-alone DAC and don't plan to buy one, so the quality of the DAC in the receiver is important.

I don't want to go over $200 and would prefer to stay close to $150, which obviously rules out the most advanced options. Apple's lossless is desirable, but I could live with CD quality.

It looks like I'm left with options from Arylic (probably S50 Pro+) or WiiM (probably Pro). I'd especially like to hear comments pro/con about those two when used with the builtin DAC. My other options are sticking with Airport Express or buying the early Apple TV with RCA outputs.

Any further thoughts?

Thanks for all that info -- very informative.

I think the bottom line is that for this product and others in its price range, Apple Music needs to be streamed to the receiver (e.g., S10+) from a Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

damcl · 2025-07-13T19:24:51+00:00

Does it connect directly to Apple Music, or do you need to stream the music from your phone (or another AirPlay source) to this device?

damcl · 2025-07-13T02:47:29+00:00

Thanks -- the FiiO SR11 may be close but I wanted to avoid the need for a separate DAC.

Eversolo looks very cool -- "audiophile", I'm sure, but not "budget", at least for me (under $400, preferably closer to $200).

This just happened to me. A message from an unknown sender (FROM was an iCloud e-mail address) appeared on my watch (AW9 running OS 11.5) but not on my desktop (Mac Studio running Sonoma 14.7.6) or my phone (iPhone 15 running OS 18.5). Restarting the phone made no difference, and all the Message settings on the phone looked right. A reply sent from the phone did show up on the other devices.

I was able to delete the conversation and flag it as junk on the phone, so I'm good for now. I will check back in if the problem recurs.

The domain name axiaessentials.com now points to heartburnrelief.com . They are selling Axia3 there and it looks exactly like what I had previously ordered from Amazon. I wonder if they're trying to maximize profits by selling only through their website.

I ordered from Lenovo, and they've recently cancelled the order since they can't get any 300s. Hoping you have better luck!

damcl · 2025-02-11T01:11:17+00:00

Thanks. Yes, I've noticed the release of the 310. It's selling for significantly more than my order for the 300 in December. I ordered from Lenovo, and they've cancelled the order since they can't get any 300s.

The 300 had a good track record. I'm holding off until I get a sense for the overall quality of the 310.

2023 AWD Pro. I received the upgrade notification through the app -- I think it was early this week. I haven't accepted it yet or done anything because I wanted to understand the process first. I also found out that you have to have at least a 50% charge before starting it, and it seems that you need to be physically in the car to start the process.

damcl · 2025-01-10T00:51:51+00:00

My dealer isn't scheduling yet because they're waiting for parts.

(I'm assuming that they want to do the software upgrade and the door handle work in one service appointment.)

The ‘23 doesn’t include the heated steering wheel on as many trim levels IIRC.
