Review on 🚗 Advanced 4G Bluetooth GPS Radio RDS Mirror-Link SD WiFi Steering Wheel Control 7 Inch Navigation Android 10 Octa Core Double Din Car Stereo by Luke Hodes

I bought this unit to replace a similar broken Joying unit. With its 8 cores compared to Joying's 4 or more RAM, I was expecting even faster load times and better performance. When it comes to booting, I'm disappointed - the older, less powerful Joying booted MUCH faster than this unit and was often fully functional before I put it in reverse. This unit takes much longer, often not fully loaded, for me to pull off the road and shift into a forward gear, which I estimate is around 30 seconds. It doesn't seem like much, but it's very noticeable. The MP3 player is elegant and easy to use; However, sometimes there is a tiny random flash in the music. That's something I wouldn't expect from a 20-year-old MP3 player, not one with an octa-core processor and gigabytes of memory. I thought it might be related to playing files from SD card (which doesn't matter but worth a try) but no, when I moved the files to internal storage the glitches persisted. The glitches don't recur, so I don't think it's part of the MP3 files, but more software related. The steering wheel controls on my Mazda5 are better than the older Joying, but not all buttons are recognized and there is a slight delay between pressing and performing the desired function.
