Looks nice, but the lack of a physical volume control knob pretty much puts it out of contention for me.

The touch volume buttons aren't that bad. Just takes some time to adjust.

Yea, The unit is great, since its android based I am able to use spotify on it so I don't kill the battery on my phone. Only problem was that the unit does not fit with the stock trim around the unit. Had to slightly modify it and get brackets to cover empty spaces on both sides of the unit.

Here is a pic.

what did you use for the mod brackets on the sides?

I had to cut the stock trim in the back to fit the unit and had to cut the brackets I had to buy to cover the empty space on the sides so it would fit into the stock trim. Nothing major, it maybe took an hour to do.

Looks like a cross between the Ca-Fi and the Newsmy Carpad. Specs dont look the greatest, hows it run?

looked at that. And read some iffy reviews, same with the ownice unit. read some reviews that the updates were not getting done and customer service was not very good. Have not read a bad review yet on this one, from XDA, or any other forum I checked.

customer service for this is great. Tommy the owner I believe, is the guy we have been talking with and we constantly email him about questions and he reply's fairly quickly.
