You get what you pay for. Of course, you may get lucky w/ a unit that is satisfactory, but the risk is high that you'll want to rip it out and replace it w/ something else within a week of use. IMO, these are just a gimmik for shady used car lots to put into a used car, and really not worth the effort.

Stock BRZ navi units are about $300... car mount for your cell phone is $15. I just use bluetooth of stock system and a car mount, control everything from my phone. No problems there.
Yea, the OP's decks are not promising. I don't like using my phone as I prefer less clutter, but when I replace my deck it will be for a newer android deck that has a good history/reviews.

For me, once you eclipse the 200 mark, you have alot better chance of a decent deck, just have to do your research.
