Hizpo 7" Android 7.1.2 head unit

Recently purchased one of these new Hizpo nougat powered head units. Boot up is instant after first power up. Sound quality is good, and the unit is very zippy. I'm still in process of getting it fit properly, but so far I'm very pleased! A few shots:


Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/332212703301

Ok took a bit of creativity but it's finally in. Unfortunately messed up the dash a little bit . As the picture shows, that was only way to really get it to fit. The head unit bezel is too tall so it really needs to sit far back.

In for details - nice clean looking unit, aside from a little bit of dremeling, how was fit? Gaps?

Edit: nvm I just saw the text with the last pic, so sitting further back how is overall fit? thx

I will be honest, it's a bitch. Unit needs to sit far back. I used double sided tape to stick on the adapter for the gaps. The bezel on the unit has a step so it causes it to bang against the dash trim. So my disclaimer is you will need to do some modification to make it fit. Wiring is very easy, everything is color matched and labeled. All you need is the harness kit and you're good to go. Overall now the fit is good.

Nothing that could be fixed with a different mount? Is the unit itself just too large?

Just the bezel on the unit is too big. As long as you can get the unit mounted far back you good.

I like how this unit doesn't have the stupid name on the bezel.

Yeah it's clean, no logos. Only negative thing is that the SD slot is not spring loaded.

So far I'm really happy with the sound. I guess these newer units have a better sound MCU. I have no complaints. One thing I love is that unit never powers down completely unless you cut power. Unit has instant on, I guess it goes into a deep sleep.

The only thing holding me back now is mirrorlink (please tell me if it works well) and try using 64gb card if u have one. 32gb is nothing. I have a 64gb USB with all my music :/.

But holy crap man this hu is pretty cheap and seems well made! Any complaints from u?

Does it crash a lot? Does it lag?
Does torque work smoothly?

Need to try the mirroring, haven't done it yet (should work) I myself have a 64gb SD and it reads it. No noticable lag, had an app force close but that's about it. I tried using torque but the unit wasn't picking up the Bluetooth odb dongle I have. Not sure why it's not picking it up :confused: honestly it runs great imo.

Please update me on mirroring whenever u get the chance. This unit is cheaper than joying and kinda looks better. How's the volume knob? Does it move smoothly? Sorry for asking too much. Sound quality wise, does this sound better than oem?

Sound is better than OEM. Volume knob has like a click to it, not an actual sound but you can feel it going thru the levels ( I personally like it). It does move smooth though. I'll update when I try the mirroring.
