I have an AVIN unit, bought it & installed in mid 2019. So far unit is working with no issues, it took a few weeks to get accustomed to how it works and what I was able to do in the OEM menu vs. the new one (the iDrive control vs Touchscreen) so is more a learning process.

In retrospective, a good portion of the issues I had read in the forums could be fixed with proper configuration and better understanding of the limitations & behaviour of the interface (and also rational expectations of AVIN customer service --or lack thereof--). I have had a few questions since a bought it which were responded, not inmediatly for sure, but at least they returned back the e-mails.

The new screen significantly improved the interior look and feel; it made the car a few years "newer". I would buy again with no second thoughts; in fact, I should have gone for the top-of-the line one which at that time was like $100 more but at that time did not want to invest more.
