To put it more simple. Should I buy this Android headunit or the pioneer fh-x730bt?
Both will cost the same, because I will need bessels etc for the pioneer.
These are my choices.

For me, it would be a no-brainer, but I have lots of experience with the factory fit android HUs and have become well accustomed to them. However, if I was not planning to add extra gear (amp, sub etc) my approach might be different. And, the Pioneer does look like a nice unit.

Maybe make a pros and cons list for each unit?

I be willing to bet that you'd be happy with either.

How much do you think it’s the average lifespan of these Android HUs?
What’s your experience ?

That would be hard to know. I had one failure (touchscreen) of all the units I had and I would guess that the oldest is 3+ yrs old.

Oh yeah I have seen your topic already.
It looks nice. I would like to buy something like this with universal fitment and bigger screen, but I will need bessels. So it’s not worth for me
