The new standard for car radios - Android Head Unit

This device is actually the latest version of Android, it will be updated after power on. The double din installation allowed me to fit in the center console like it was really there. With just a few modifications to the car radio frame I was able to keep the radio in place without looking like an ugly modification. The device works great, good radio signal, plays MP3s from the USB stick without any problems. To be honest I thought I would miss my old CD player but I have all my music digital and it plugs straight into USB and plays local music. I've also watched a few music videos and they look great on screen, but I've yet to try a full-length movie to test storage and playback quality. It connected to the phone's hotspot and then let me go to the Google App Store and download my favorite apps with no issues including Netflix, SmarThings and Revain Alexa, all of which worked flawlessly. I also switched the Home Launcher app to Agama Radio and so far so good. My next addition will be a rear camera and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Cons: - cannot change color of side control buttons - cannot match steering wheel controls exactly, only increase and decrease volume and change channels/tracks - power turns off when key is removed unlike the original radio which keeps playing , if you continue playing sat and waited for resetting the equalizer settings in the car when the car restarted. None of these "cons" matter, the unit is still a 5 star radio, it makes my 15 year old car look like a new 2021 showroom model.

Pros
