2017 Android 6.0 9" New head unit, Opinions yet?
Just came across this one. Most of the discussion has been centered around the smaller screen units. Curious if there is any real use feedback yet on this unit?

UPDATED: I went with the factory looking 7" Android head unit instead of this 9" version. Pics on page 9 of this thread.

That's 1gb of Random Access Memory is quite good for an Android unit. Storage memory is probably 16gb or 32gb. The soccer mom minivan has an android unit with 32gb of storage.

My 2012 nexus 7 has 2GB of ram, trying to multitask with 1GB would be a struggle.

Who multi task while driving? I just listen to the radio or stream music from my phone while the GPS tells me when to turn. If you are composing letters or memo while driving you need to stop.

Man, that would look A LOT better if he just rounded the corners off the bottom of the unit so that he could make it flush with the dash. I'm pretty sure I'm going NBT though. $$$$$$
