This thing is amazing. There is so much more you can do. There are some minor issues that can be resolved with a little perseverance.

Pros:

  • WiFi Tethering: This unit connects up fine to my cellphone and tethers perfectly, everytime, without fail.
  • Bluetooth: While the head unit is connected to cellphone’s WiFi tether, it’s also able to connect to both my cellphone’s Bluetooth for audio and cell, as well as my Bluetooth OBDII unit which I use with the provided torque app.
  • Play Store: All apps work and I have not had any issues at all.
  • Radio: Signal in my part of the USA is fantastic. Sound is strong, and very little “hiss” for weaker stations.
  • DVD Player: Mine worked when tested, but I don’t use it, so I can’t comment extensively.
  • USB: I connected a 64 bit USB thumb drive and it has not given any issues.
  • 3G Dongle: I haven’t used this, but from reading at XDA forums, there are some issues with powering the device. A powered USB hub fixes this issue.
  • GPS: iGo app is not my favorite, so I simply downloaded Waze, and changed the setting in the GPS settings of Android to use the Waze app when Navigation button is pressed. You can do this with any GPS app, such as Google maps, which worked perfectly well with the satellite view as well.

Cons:

  • Tuner: Looses presets occasionally. Not sure why yet. It’s not a big issue for me.
  • Random: When I use certain apps, and don’t close them before I turn off the car, they force close when the head unit restarts. Not a big deal, but something to be aware of.
  • Fitment: Unit is about 1/4″ wider than USA standard double din head unit. You’ll need to trim the bezel on your car to fit. If you don’t want to do this, then this unit is not good for you.

In Summary

I have waited a long time for a head unit that could do everything I wanted it to do without issues. This unit does them all, with only very minor issues. All of which I feel will be resolved with future firmware and ROM releases. The manufacturers are constantly releasing updates and fixes, and are very hands on in the development and support. I highly recommend it !

I installed this stereo in my 09 Mazda 3. I say “stereo” but it really is so much more. It’s more like an entertainment center for my car, because it has changed the whole feel of travel. Simply put, I love this!
  • GPS
Great GPS included with accurate maps and still can use video outputs, so DVDs play to rear monitors for kiddos in the back seat.
  • APP 
All the apps I’ve tried work flawlessly and switching between them is very fast.
  • Quality
Not much else I can say other than if you are debating on this unit, take my word for it, you will be very pleased with the build quality and ease of install.
  • Audio
I should also mention the audio playback is well above stock car stereo sound and everything is crisp and clear.
  • Customer Service
On a side note, I contacted the seller to ask a question about SD card playback and was pleased to get response almost immediately. It seems that customer service is top notch as well.

Pros:
  • Very sleek quality looking head unit. This unit fits perfectly into my 2010 Corolla and now it looks more modern. I can’t describe how happy I am.
  • Radio functionality is great. Plenty of preset slots for all of your favorite radio stations, and it will tell you the name of the song and who’s singing it. Besides, the radio automatically shuts off when the phone rings.
  • I purchased a backup camera to use with this and the screen shows a nice clear video feed. It was also very easy to install, and auto switched when I shift the car into reverse (you need to connect the reverse wire for this to work).
  • Bluetooth audio quality is good and CD player is perfect!
  • You can change the boot logo from “DVD” to your car’s manufacturer.
Cons:
  • GPS load time is about 15-20 seconds, which seems like a long time when comparing to a factory GPS.
  • Sometimes callers have trouble hearing me over Bluetooth when they call.
Overall, I’m quite happy with my purchase. Both of the cons listed are very minor and do not change my overall  opinion of this head unit. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an economical upgrade to their Toyota Corolla. Nice work, Pumpkin !
