prepare to be totally disappointed in operating system, audio quality, screen quality, and quality of construction.

Just get a stock navi unit for cheap. Getting a cheap POS android HU is like getting a first generation android phone in this day and age. gl

What do you define as a cheap POS android HU? To me, 250 to 300 seems reasonable. Although, anything older then 4 for Android is not a good idea.

It does what I want, Looks good, I spend more time driving the car that playing with the deck. we have laws here that prohibit the use of cell phones while driving. I will problie upgrade the speakers and amps later due to sound is not perfect. its made in china.... what else can i say.

OP's link is to a ~$160 unit. My personal experience with these is that they really suck, and are NOTHING like the pictures in terms of picture/screen quality. Bluetooth connectivity issues are likely, Audio may have noise, RCA outs may be low volt and have noise, etc.

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.

Is the sound an issue with the deck or the speakers? I have heard just upgrading to these decks make an improvement cause you have more control of the sound.

I havn't had time to play with the deck yet, only just installed it, there isn't any form of equalizer that i have found yet.

Well, good to know. Atleast there are plenty of apps available.
