Even when signal is quite strong (2 out of 4, phone connects without issues) it takes couple minutes for head-unit to load website (sometimes connection drops). As I know there is a crappy wifi antenna inside.
As for fitting, did not cut any wires. Only one wire needs to be soldered/crimped to make unit ready for use - amp wire. Instead of cutting factory wire, I got similar pin from electronic components store and installed it in plug adapter harness included with headunit. Works great. Also added reverse gear and parking brake wires (optional). Just soldered a simple pin on wires, and plugged it into factory connector. Secured with duct tape so it wouldn't fall out. Once again - no factory wires cutting/soldering.
Bracket holding radio fits fine, but you will need to modify it if you wish flush fit... The plastic face/front of this headunit is not as tall as on stock radio. Thus radio needs to be pushed out ~5mm (1/5") for good fit. Also little bit up, as it seemed to sit lower. What I have done is drilled new hole on bracket (close to original one) and used dremel to make little rail that allows to adjust bracket. Some sanding on plastic panel is also needed, as plastic pushes against radio when it is moved out

I am also interested in this unit. How has the unit held up over time? Some of the other android units have bad microphones for calls. How is the sound quality of the mic on this unit? I especially like the look of the UI, very simple and modern.
