I currently own this and it absolutely fantastic and clean.

I hot spot from my phone daily and run Waze and Spotify.

Plug and play. Did not need a wifi adapter, or additional antenna. It is literally a tablet that you have access to the Play Store to download apps etc..

They're all basically the same function from Android. I went for the unit with the highest specs and latest Android version at the time. I didn't really *want* the big screen, and I *still* would rather have a dial for volume, but after ~7k miles on it since the Spring, I have gotten more accustomed.

How is the viewing and and glare with that unit? Have either installed an ibus interface and app to be able to set the mid display values?

It's a little better on the larger unit that I have. The glare really got to me at first and I put in an anti glare cover. After less than a week, I removed it. Now the glare is still there, but it no longer bothers me.

I use the iBus interface. It's far from perfect. For instance, I choose a time and date format different from US and my MID still shows US time and date formats. However, it is the best we have and it is miles above having no function or ability to set the time and date without connecting the old units.

It is also VERY cool that we can now set our daytime lights to be what we want with iBus. The benefits far outweigh the little things I wish they did better.

All the Android HUs I have the glare is terrible. Can't see crap during sunny days.

Had to put a antiglare screen protector which helped a bit.

Well... I pulled the trigger on this:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-8-0...72.m2749.l2649

It was on sale for $419 and Ebay had 10% off yesterday so I ordered it and a bunch of other stuff for the install. Will let you guys know if it's any good once it gets here in 2 or 3 months. Ah shipping from China. I can say that it does not come with the 5m extension cable so I'll be making one myself. The listing is not clear about that but they emailed shortly after the purchase to inform me... and link to a listing of course.
