MDT-X7000 broke, out of nowhere.

I also bought this monitor and had a problem with the touchscreen. I sent it back for RMA and they also told me it would be about 2 months before I got a replacement. I ended up getting a refund from them and just bought a different monitor.

Though the monitor is great, they definitely released it before it was ready, thus the number of problems. I think that once it is around for awhile they will have a solid screen that will be awesome for many users.

As an update, Xenarc sent me an e-mail and said that my unit has been repaired and new firmware loaded. They asked me if I wanted the repaired unit, or wait for a new batch, which could be another couple months. I told them I wanted the repaired one, and they shipped it out yesterday. So it'll be here in a little while, and once it gets here, I'll tell everyone how it is.

Just got my xenarc last thursday and now its locked up with the screen out and will not respond to any buttons or the remote, ignition is off, and now i think ima have to rip the dash out to cut the power... At this point I would say go with a different brand, the half-interface is slow and the buttons are VERY laggy.

p.s. MP3Car.com, your rules waiting thing wins this years award for the most childish script for a forum this year. (I only made this account to post here and plan to never again)

Sorry to hear that you have a poblem with a Xenarc screen, but rather than throw a tantrum, you might consider reality and why there are Forum rules. and no. I am not part of mp3car.com, or Xenarc, but a person who seeks to find answers from Xenarc, which may have been a better approach you could have followed.

Any news?

Not frm my side. I still eagerly await Xenarc's firmware upgrade at my local supplier, or a new screen.
They keep telling me that Xenarc are shipping, but the stuff never arrives.

I had identified the MDT-X7000 as the best monitor for my application. And was pretty willing to shell out the big bucks for one. But with stories like this, I think I may go with a simpler (and probably not Xenarc) monitor and a separate amp or head unit.

Thanks for sharing your experiences so that I, and others, don't have to risk sharing them.

Has anyone tested a unit with the new firmware? Does it fix the previous issues like slow responsiveness, randon hangs etc...

KarPc.com have this posted on their web site:

NEW UPDATED MDT-X7000 WILL FEATURE:
UPGRADED FM RECEIVER SUPPORTING EUROPE, AUSTRALIA AND AMERICA
NEW FIRMWARE FIXING PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BUGS

I think this montor would be perfect for my installation but I am relucant to commit until someone can confirm that the firmware bugs have been addressed.
