Correct if you have a stock sound system these are.... Ok at best. If on the other hand you have a factory upgraded sound system with amps and subs, or even worse a custom setup, these typically output a trash signal for your amps, which in turn boost the already garbage signal to your nice/expensive woofers/tweeters. Tablet functionally they're fine. It's the AUDIO side why it's $150 headunit and not $400-$500 headunit.

Well for what it's worth, I've had an even older Android radio from out of China I installed into my blazer four years ago and it worked surprisingly well in the high humid heat of KY. In winter though when it got really cold, around 20 degrees or lower the screen capacitive touch was very finicky until the heater got temps back up. But the apps themselves worked just fine. I finally updated the radio simply because the only real downfall to many of these is getting updates on these is almost non existent unless you get one from a very well known company that is known to support their android radios with software/firmware updates and they usually cost a bit more for it. I don't think car manufacturers themselves are testing it like you say unless they are making the devices in house. But whoever the manufacturer is for the device before it reaches the car manufacturer indeed has prior and I can almost guarantee that most of your factory radios is made of parts from China too. 🤷

If you can get a double-din dash panel I used a KKmoon K5980 in my old Jeep and Android Auto worked wonders. The only thing to be aware of is the length of the USB cable; The stock cable from the head unit is about 6 feet, which is great if you need it to reach the side of the dash but if you're putting it closer I would suggest shortening the cable if you can, or limit the amount of extensions/adapters used. I had my stock cable plugged into a short 6-inch panel mount extension so it would look clean. But, that limited me to only being able to use USB cables 12" or under. It ended up not being a problem for me as there was a pocket to store my phone right there, but it is something to be aware of.

I used it in my 1960's cars because standard DIN radios won't fit without hacking a big hole in the metal dash. This box is thin enough to not stick out far from the dash and required not molesting the dash (just ran bolts thru the radio knob cutouts to secure the mounting plates.

@@DailyCorvid I'm only good if the opportunity exists lol. For the Blazer it's odd. They came factory with 1.5 din radios so you had to have an adapter to replace a 1din radio in. But the space for the radio itself is actually closer to 2din. The issue in my case was there is a plastic piece that is used as a support for the back of the factory radio that had to be cut down and just a few cm cut around the edges. This is with the trim taken off mind you. The trim piece though that goes over the radio though is 1.5din. The trick to that? Find the same color trim from a Bravada lol. They essentially were the step child of the Blazer using a lot of the same parts and color interiors except they came factory with 2din radios meaning their trim that also fit Blazers, also gave Blazer the proper 2din factory look. I wouldn't say I'm a professional or anything, far from it. I just like to tinker with things and if I can make something work and have it look like its supposed to be there, I'll do it 😊.

I've used a redmi 9 C to a USB dock to a topping AD-10 and the sound quality and of course everything else is just dead silence there's literally no Distortion from the topping DAC and it's just over the top wonderful! an outboard DSP that takes USB input is simply the way to go if you are using Amazon HD. Download all the songs from Amazon to a SD Card, and its Heaven! the most expensive part of your system is usually the speakers the installation and of course the DSP but the amplification part that's as cheap as peanuts as you can get a great performance dual amplifier for less than $109 and it has the specs that literally trounces on just about everything out there on the market.

The fact that these have android auto and carplay mean they are without a doubt worth it, even on cars that are relatively new (ones without AA or carplay that is). I have one and never even use the main interface, but to add carplay on a good quality screen that is responsive for anywhere under 200 is incredible. I think you need to reevaluate what you expect from these haha

Nice to know cheap options like this exist. I despise the fancy uconnect turd that's in the car I drive.

I ordered one in the same housing, I'll be seeing how long it takes or if it even ships. It's got a UIS7862 SoC 8-cores, 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage, 720p 10.1" QLED display. It cost around $325 US and very close to $400 shipped, not gonna be playing games on it but hopefully it'll do turn-by-turn GPS navigation and Spotify while being buttery smooth.

If your building a high quality sound system this radio might work. But I would spend a lil more lettuce on a better one

Really depends on which android headunit you get. There are higher spec models that I bet would perform just fine

The wavelink the wifi runs in wont determine speed 5ghz va 2.4 unless the area you're in is flooded with 2.4 devices. All it does is decrease static similar to when 2 radio starions are very close in number to each other and you get interference

I've heard the 4gb units are pretty fast and was recommended to never buy the 2gb. The ones I've seen seem alot better than this, including the display setup and its abilities. Not saying they are top notch, but not as bad as this
