UPDATE YOUR FREAKING APP!

It been three gd years since this app has been touched by a developer. Do better or make it open source so we can update this ourselves. D-Switch (Diode Dynamics) can update theirs, why can’t Garmin? …switching to d-switch, much better.

Needs software updates

The unit does what it’s supposed to well. It just needs to have some more modern updates to the software. There are several other brands now that can offer a lot better control over your lighting needs. Much more customizable options as well

Buggy switch

Generally, a good product, but sometimes the switch will not turn a channel off until tried repeatedly. Garmin has no more customer service and it’s all Chinese now. So this is what you get at a high price.

Bigger Buttons

Garmin please please please make the buttons bigger in the CarPlay function. When you get a text message you can’t operate the bottom row until the notification disappears. Why are the buttons so small to begin with?
