Having just bought one
I thought it might be useful to have a Sub Forum area for FM3 Users, as we seem to be so few.
Might be nice to introduce yourselves, and a few facts.

Yes, note Mercedes Keyless Go can hiccup it, and you have to “Confirm” the ‘Reboot X’ . But its good code i.e. provides an on the fly additional script to handle it.

I'm in ... us Vicos are a rare species around these parts. I'm happy with mine ... only I need some more runs on the board to judge its reliability over the longer term.
Had it for about 6 months and good so far. I use a cig input extention. Sometimes it doesn't turn on and I have to do it manually.
Probably the connection at the cig input hub .. reach up and press a button ... no biggie

For UK users, I got exceptional support from HiDigitsl Eye ... the official UK importer/ Distributor. See Amazon and eBay.
He was Happy to let one check out any questionable instructions ... like the update instructions says >> after Update “Reset” the unit. <<
They actually mean reset the options via the Reset factory settings option in the Menu. I.e. do not press the hard ‘Reset’ button on the base of the unit. Tha
That is only there in case it freezes.
