I only bought from ebay... Rarely amazon, but when GearBest opened... If I see something on ebay I like, I always try to get it from GearBest. Even if it's a bit more expensive, I feel really assured when buying from them and I expect the items in 2 weeks time with free shipping from China! Not even their EU warehouses! Basically if I wanna buy from China they're my only choice. You don't have to deal with scammy sellers anymore and you always know you'll get your item. I've also bought my past 2 phones from gearbest. Not a single problem. What I like best though is to throw my money away buying little weird and useless gadgets :p that's my hobby hahah

Of course. Just elaborating on my experiences with the units themselves.

Have you seen what the Chinese are offering for the camry? A vertical 12 inch tesla like touchscreen, even replacing the AC controls! Sick! I wish they had them for other models as well, would have bought it instantly!

No, I haven't but will take a look.

I couldn't open your link but the model number is the same in the link I posted. It's a nice radio for sure. One question: does it have RGB adjustable color button lights. I like to match the dash lighting color to make it look more factory. It seems this feature is getting harder to come by. At least the cheaper units don't have it.

Yes it does! Although I didn't like the white, doesnt look white, a bit more greenish/blue
That's because of the rgb leds, they don't have 3 individual smds, but rather one RGB chip.

Neat. One of my older units had lighting presets, but you could use the color pallet adjustment. My kia had an orangy colored lighting which I managed to match perfectly.

Stereo finally installed...

I decided to support local business and farmed this one out. There was a lot to install: head unit, 4 door speakers, tweeters on the a-pillars, 4 channel amp and underseat subwoofer. I simply didn't feel like doing another install at this time. Shane, the proprietor, did an fantastic job. Pro Audio and Installation - Quispamsis, NB. System sounds AWESOME!

https://www.facebook.com/pg/proaudio...llation/about/


Tweets on the A-pillars bring the sound stage up and add great clarity.



Torque Pro. Unfortunately Toyota doesn't appear to make a lot available for monitoring with Torque, unlike my Kia for which I can get endless data like trans temp, oil temp, etc). I



PowerAmp Digital Sound Processor App



Chrome



Google Maps. The head unit has iG08 Nav built in, but I much prefer Google Maps. I may download Waze.

On-screen nav and the other apps is super cool. I wouldn't mind having an Android Auto unit.

I really do like these factory fit android radios. Not sure how the os in these differ from Android Auto, or if they're very similar.

Android auto is just a phone mirroring service. Android headunits are a full mobile OS within a headunit. basically a mini android PC for your car. much more flexiable, much less expensive and can even get tv.

Despite the nomenclature, my intention was to say, it's awesome to have Android on your head unit.

It is awesome indeed! One thing I think I am not going to like about my head unit is the volume control. It's right in the touch screen. I think I'd prefer a knob for volume control.

That's interesting. My touchscreen has a manual volume button, mute button and one or two other hard buttons along the left side. Like you, I like them.

Yeah, all of my other Android head units have buttons. I guess this was an attempt to maximize screen size. My other units are 6.2", whereas this is 7". That said, I don't know of the actual viewing area is really any larger.

I just installed the ATOTO A6 and it is by far the best budget android head unit I've worked with. Price is VERY reasonable and the accessories are good like the dash cam. Just a usb plug and play and is run by a nice app on the console.

Best thing about the ATOTO was that it has a "2 second" on
