Great head-unit at this price point!

This price point allows for some "cheapness" but so far, I have experienced nothing sub par. It fits well, and almost looks stock in my 2005 Ford Crown Victoria LX (The buttons color can be changed to what ever you want). The supplied trim piece does not work with my dash, but the radio fits so snug I hardly need one, Initial boot up is a little slow (like any Android device it takes about 45 seconds to a minute), but waking from sleep when you start the car, it is up in a second or two. I have not installed the backup camera, but it appears to be of decent construction. I use my mirrors to back up, so I don't generally look at my dash when backing up. I have not hooked this up to any aftermarket amplifiers (but I shall, oh yes I shall). When I install the amps, subs, and updated speakers, I'll also put the backup camera in. Pros: - Came with Android 10 installed - 64gig is nice to have (my Pixel 2XL is only 16) - Google Play Store works just like it does on any other device - GPS Antenna has a nice long cord (I put mine on top of the steering column close to the wheel next to my flasher button) - Buttons and knob feel firm and secure (wish it had more tactile buttons like forward, play/pause, reverse) - Screen is clear and bright - USB cords are nice and long - Regular apps sound great (Google Play Music, Local radio station apps, Bootcamp, etc...) - Can use a keyboard and mouse via the USB 0, and USB 1 cables (I used them during setup, not while driving) - GPS button can be mapped to your chose of GPS guidance (I use Waze) Cons: - Volume at 1, is a little too loud - Home-screen puts the default apps back on the home-screen after reboot - Screen basal is a little deep (when sitting in the driver's seat, about 1/16th of an inch of the screen his hidden by the basal) - Basal makes getting to the very edges of the screen with your finger difficult - Instructions are "okay" but could be clearer (especially the steering wheel control wiring) - Radio sound quality is not good at all (tinny, sharp, treble heavy - regular app listening is good) - Some apps can not be fully utilized because their "okay, continue, finish" buttons are below the screen, and can not be scrolled to access - Clock seems to forget my settings occasionally (defaulting back to it's original location) This unit "may" be able to root and use custom ROMS, but I have not messed with it. I am good with how it is. Except the home-screen icon deal and resetting clock persistence, I really want MY apps on the screen when I start the car, not theirs.Read full review
