No. You can power the unit from its USB-C port on the bench, which makes initial setup, image changes and firmware updates far easier than working in the car.

Yes, preloaded with clock faces and splash screens.

Yes, as many as you like. They must be PNG files on the SD card, with names starting C_ and no longer than eight characters — for example C_MYCLK.PNG. The supplied SD card comes preloaded with a set of community-designed clock faces and splash screens to start from, and the app can upload new ones…

Yes. Add a PNG file to the micro SD card named SPLASH.PNG and it will be used as the startup splash screen. This can also be done through the app without removing the unit.

No — it’s plug and play, and typically takes under 30 minutes. The pod levers out of the dashboard, the two halves come apart, the module swaps over, and it goes back in. No cutting, no soldering, no wire taps, and it’s fully reversible.
