What do you guys think about this Android HU?

[Dr.M.Kassab]

The audio is crap.. bass is almost non-existent.. and forget about Bluetooth calling.. otherwise.. the screen is nice .. however I think this exact mode you got is android 8.1 .. it’s android 4.4 with 8.1 overlay.. u need to look for the same with px6 processor for 8.1 to work..

2GB RAM is bare minimum Mr.R. Let us know how it performs.

What are you guys doing with the headunit? Playing games lol?

I have a 1GB 4.4 unit on a 350z and just took it out for the drive and the unit is as responsive as needed.

No games but I would want at least the most power I could get at the time. Your unit is also only a quad core which is a little light to today's standards. I'm not knocking your choice at all, just curious how it performs on Android 8+.

There's a similar unit with an Octa-Core and 4GB RAM from the same vendor and looks like the price diff is not much. This one would be lightning fast:

No I get but just from my own personal experience with Android units (I had 3 total now 4 including for my X) top performance specs isn’t my priority. For what I do with them and it’s plenty.

I'm talking about all Chinese android headhunts in general.. unless you don't really care about sound quality and priorotize screen clarity and connectivity.. because Chinese headunits rarely use quality audio drivers..

I tend to think that unless one is an audiophile who is extremely discerning and with impeccable tastes, these units meet most people's needs and are very OEM looking. They're so much better in every way than the ancient factory head unit, and at a price tag of <$450. I wouldn't imagine someone installing a $6k high-end audio unit that looks out of place in an $8k vehicle. Just my thoughts.

I upgraded my speakers and added a sub with amp from BSW many years ago. There was a dramatic improvement from DSP stock system. There was also a dramatic improvement when I installed the Seicane using the BSW speakers. I will never need anything better than I have now.
