Insane features at a great price, I can actually see it giving it up now

This head unit is way better than the Audi RNS-E system that came with my car from the factory. I connected it to the camera and the car was transformed. The default camera is now the same quality as my wife's 2019 car (though without the moving camera lines). Finally I can see the movement again. I bought it mainly to improve rear vision, but there are other benefits as well. It definitely sounds better than the original and the EQ is solid so I was able to get a decent sound but I really need to upgrade the speakers to determine if it sounds good or not so can't rate it. .The navigation function is also excellent, a clear improvement over what I had before. The screen looks good and is quite responsive. I know it also has a front and center SD card reader; I actually just load all my music onto a 16GB card, so I'm not worried about plugging in my phone, although that's an option too. My biggest complaint about this device is that the volume +/- buttons are a bit bulky. I'm missing a factory volume control, so I'm going to hack the SWC input and use a rotary encoder with an Arduino to get a rotary control. The results are promising and I think it will work. Overall it has really improved my car and I love it, but be prepared for a lot of work on installation (every brand will be the same in this regard). If it's good enough for my Lamborghini, it will definitely work in your car.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
