Revainrating 3 out of 5

Affordable Android device

It's like a tablet, but for my car! Very easy to install but there are some issues which I will cover later. I'm happy with the setup, features and definitely WiFi capabilities. The GPS antenna works like a charm for me BUT they didn't include an SD card with an offline map for North America so I used the one that came with my other main unit. I use Spotify on the go for all my music BUT when I turn on the device and jump straight into Spotify it auto closes after a second of loading so I have to open it twice for it to work. This isn't the only problem. Sometimes when I open the app again there is a 1 in 8 chance that it just crashes and there is no way to fix it unless I restart the computer. So sometimes I just need to use Bluetooth music on my phone . . I also have a problem with the volume in the Spotify app, the volume on the head unit goes to the maximum of 30, but when I turn the volume from 20 to 30 nothing happens anyway, the volume goes down! I think the volume for bluetooth audio is ok. Now let's get down to the smallest details of why I gave this 3 stars; I have a 2008 Toyota Camry LE and initially received a Hizpo Windows CE 6.0 head unit but later returned it in exchange for this Android head unit as I felt very limited with Windows operating systems. However, the bracket that screws into the head unit and the air conditioning controls are not suitable. On my machine I could only put 2 screws on each side of the AC controls, I couldn't put 3 screws on each side of the main unit because it was crooked (and yes I positioned them correctly, I watched some youtube tutorials). I've had no problems with it on a Windows CE main unit, which installed without a problem. Due to this issue, the stereo is not properly positioned on my dashboard and there is a large gap between the vents and the unit. Essentially, the vents don't snap onto the top of the device, creating a seamless dashboard. I'm very upset about this, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Although it's pretty ugly.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • There are nuances
