Wish I could offer more help but I don't have any experience with Chinese Android head units. I've seen a few people complain about them here on the forum. One member punched one to death when it arrived with a bad screen and he didn't realize it until it was installed lol. On the flip side, my bro-in-law installed an eBay Android head unit in his BMW and was happy with it. He didn't have a good sound system in the car, though, just stock speakers.

What I do know is that the head unit is the main point of sound processing so if you're looking to build a system with sound quality as a primary need, I'd make sure to do as much research on the unit as possible. See if you can find reviews on it from other online sources. There can be a difference in sound quality from a lower level Pioneer unit to a higher level Kenwood unit, so it's hard for me to trust the no-name brands. Again, I have no personal experience with any of them, so take it for what it's worth.

Yea I have seen this post you mention. But I do understand that there are many differences between all these HUs.
And the other member had an older version. I think that Chinese makers have come a long way since then. But again, like you, I have zero experience on this. That’s why I am so skeptical

The price is amazing bargain thought.
And it’s from a local seller. Not from amazon or eBay etc...
