UPDATE: The radio reception isn't as good as past radios I had. The clock doesn't retain setting memory, even with the instructions per seller. Time will tell as far as quality. I still have the box it came in just incase I want to return. I like the OEM fitted look and I hope the glitches will improve. I'm still working with the seller on fixing, updating these items.

Yeah, they do fall short on radio reception. I never had any issues with the clocks keeping time. I didn't pursue it, but I think there is either a radio antenna booster wire with the harness, or you can buy a radio booster. This really doesn't bother me as I just listen to music from my 16G microSD card. Last count is something like 1700 songs and still lots of room on the card. I'm still subtely working on my wife for approval to install an Android unit in the Yaris.

The latest Android units employ octacore processors and have tremendous processing/multimedia power. Mine are all quadcore and can handle multitasking with ease. I often run Google maps, Torque Pro, Power Amp, web browsing and other background apps and it doesn't even blink.

The good thing is that you bought it from eBay so returning it shouldn't be cost prohibitive (shipping). I bought all my units from Aliexpress and return shipping, for any reason, is simply out of the question.
