Introduction:
Hey folks,
I want to share my experience with the Woodman X9 in my Swift. I chose this system because it promised a lag-free experience and boasted 60W DSP sound for that extra bass kick. Before I hit the order button, I had my doubts about the brand and the authenticity of its specs. Let me take you through how it all played out.
Ordering and Delivery:
I did my homework and finally decided to buy the Woodman X9 from their official website, hiwoodman.com.
The product was delivered quickly and came securely packed, which was a good start.
Installation Hurdle:
Things got tricky during installation. I opted for a local mechanic instead of a Woodman authorized technician, and, well, it didn’t go as planned. The product wouldn’t power on, possibly due to a short circuit.
Panic set in as I worried about explaining this to Woodman and whether they’d accept a replacement.
I reached out to their team on WhatsApp, explained the situation, and to my surprise, they asked me to pack the product for a replacement.
Quick Response from Woodman:
What happened next was a pleasant surprise. The very next day, Bluedart picked up the parcel, and within just two days, a brand new one was at my doorstep.
What struck me was the minimal questioning – they didn’t dig into why I hadn’t used their authorized channel. This kind of swift, no-nonsense service is a rarity, especially from Indian brands.
Sound Quality Upgrade:
With the new product in hand, I turned to an authorized technician for installation. I had to shell out an extra 1100 INR for both the rear camera and the X9 unit. I suggest woodman should start offering free installation.
The sound quality was significantly better – a whopping 80% increase in bass, and the overall audio quality was top-notch.
Testing Performance:
I put the X9 through its paces, trying out voice commands for Google Maps and giving the split-screen feature a whirl.
As promised and as praised in reviews, the X9 delivered on all fronts.
Verifying Specifications:
To be doubly sure, I even ran a fake device test, and the results matched the stated specs – Android 10, 2GB RAM, and a zippy 1.6GHz octa-core processor.
I did face some initial hiccups with the 4G SIM slot, but a video call for assistance sorted that out.
I’ve grown fond of Woodman’s user interface, especially the car speed display and the vivid song images.
While Woodman’s prices might be a tad higher than local brands and systems, I see this as a long-term investment. I’ve spared myself the daily map-related struggles and now own a lag-free system that should serve me well for years to come.
So, that’s the story of my Woodman X9 journey in my Swift. It’s been quite a ride, with its ups and downs, but in the end, I’m thrilled with my choice. Looking forward to many more miles of happy driving with this fantastic product. Cheers to a brighter future with Woodman!
Considering a Dash Camera:
Here’s where I’d like your thoughts and suggestions. I’ve been contemplating whether to add a dash camera to my car. I’ve seen a few brands like Qubo, 70mai, and even Woodman is launching its new dash cam.
However, I’m struggling to decide if I should install one, and if so, what things I should look for in a dash cam before making a purchase.
It seems there’s relatively little discussion on this topic in the forum, so your insights would be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to share your thoughts on Woodman x9 and suggestions regarding the dash camera, and let’s keep the discussion going!
