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?

9" BMW X5 E39 Android 6.0 9" Car Video GPS Stereo Player Head Unit 5 SERIES E53 | eBay


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

1GB of ram, no thanks

I input my 2006 X5 into the compatibility boxes and it says its not compatible?

Get with 32GB from seicane

Hey pearlpower let me know how it goes with that radio? I wanted to get the same radio for myself.

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. $$$$$$

I like the way it looks in the dash thinking I'm gonna get one today

I don't mind the tablet look. I just mean that the unit is designed for an e39 and not an e53. Avin used to have this problem with their units. You had to manually round off the bottom corners of the unit to get it to fit flush (like factory) in the dash. The e38 (and possibly e39?) uses flat bottoms so they are manufactured that way to fit multiple chassis.

If you manually round off the corners... it looks great and no one can tell. But not all have the cajones to take a dremel or sander to the faceplate of their new android nav unit.

I strongly believe in solid customer service. When someone is looking to buy these units for the price, pause for a second and ask yourself what's the level of customer service are you gonna get when you run into an issue?
I was the guinea pig so to speak for the Dynavin N6 for DSP equipped E53 when they first came out with them (long thread on here called Dynavin N6 install).
I had numerous problems with the unit since no one really tried it before to see how it behaves but Jeff from J&T Distributing went above and beyond to make sure it works and that I wouldn't have any problems in the future.
I even shipped the unit to California to have them look into why so many errors and screen flickering etc. Everything got fixed and it's been trouble free ever since.
Jeff would even answer my emails late at night . That's what I call great customer service.

So if you were to run into some issues with these cheaper no name units, who is gonna be there for you when you need them the most?
I don't know, it's just a thought but one worth taking into consideration.
