New Android Head Unit for My '06 RS

[IllusionX]

Where did you buy it?

I'm a little skeptical about sound quality of these Android devices.
I was going to get one Joying brand, which seems to be quite popular.

I picked it up from Aliexpress - the same place I bought my others. I can provide a direct link if you'd like one. I always run PowerAmp on my android devices. It improves the sound considerably, especially with the multiband EQ. The system in my van sounds amazing with relatively inexpensive speakers (11 of them including MTX 8" powered sub tube) and 4-channel amp. But, yes, out of the box, these head units have just so-so sound.

One disclaimer...

If one of these units fail, they are basically throw away item unless you're electronics-savvy or a willing to find an electronics repair shop willing to take a repair on. The return shipping to China would be cost prohibitive. That said, I have only had one unit fail. It was the touch screen. I still have the unit in my closet and the replacement screen - which is connected with plugs only - is about $40.00. At some point, I'll repair it and have it as a back-up unit for my Sedona. It's a Kia factory fit.

Yes please, do post a link:)

Im trying to find a cheap unit with at least 2GB of RAM though. We're switching to DAB in Greece and my Sony CDX-MP80 doesn't support it, and DAB adapters cost around the same as a headunit.

This is the one I have my eyes on.

Here is the link to the one I bought. I got my DHL tracking number yesterday. Since I bought mine the price has gone up from $207 CAD to $255 CAD.

However, while waiting for my tracking number, I discovered another unit that I would actually prefer, and it's less expensive. I has no DVD which would make more sense for me as I don't used DVDs but rather MicroSD cards. Also, this unit has DAB+.

DISCLAIMER: I make no assurances that these units are direct plug and play, but I suspect that they are.
