I read somewhere that unlicensed versions of Android OS are used in the Chinese units.

FM as we don't listen to AM - way too muddy even for a voice. LOL

ASAP information+opinions for Android Headunit.
I think I am more confused than before now
Damn what should I do. To put it more simple. Should I buy this Android headunit or the pioneer fh-x730bt? Both will cost the same, because I will need bessels etc for the pioneer. These are my choices. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Maybe make a pros and cons list for each unit? I be willing to bet that you'd be happy with either.

That would be hard to know. I had one failure (touchscreen) of all the units I had and I would guess that the oldest is 3+ yrs old.

One thing I don't like about the latest units is that the screen resolution is high, making the text hard to read. The one in my van is like 800 x 640(?) and vastly easier to read. My eyes aren't the best and I'm far too vain to get glasses. Actually, I'm just a bit farsighted. So, are you leaning farther in one direction than the other at this point?

Oh yeah I have seen your topic already. It looks nice. I would like to buy something like this with universal fitment and bigger screen, but I will need bessels. So it’s not worth for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well you made me more confident with my decision to go the Android HU way. I hope it will be a good experience. The only thing that bothers me is the poor radio signal you mentioned before. The HU comes with RDS thought. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

FYI, the few times over the years that I've seen aftermarket HUs with the integrated trim pieces installed, the fitment has not been the greatest. Edges don't quite line up with mating oem dash bits.

It’s fine I guess. I can live with that. I don’t expect everything to be perfect. It’s China after all. But I saw pictures with this particular hu and the fitmen was on point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

ASAP information+opinions for Android Headunit.
I went for it guys. The guy I ordered from, even had it in silver color (like my entire dash) so I will have the most factory look like result. He was kind enough even thought the silver edition is more expensive than the black one (maybe because it’s painted unlike the black which is just a black unpainted plastic), to sell it to me at the same price 280$ - 250€, like the black...
Now I am waiting for it to arrive. I hope I made the right decision. Wish me luck. I will keep you updated, maybe in a new topic to give my opinion about my experience with this headunit to those who are in the same boat like me, and cant decide if these Android headunits worth our attention.
