Here is the link, I have the RK3188 quad core. Using Malaysk's firmware and 4.4.4 Kit Kat. I've been rooting since the first android phone G1 so I am pretty comfortable with it. You can brick your device if your not careful. I had a Kenwood DDX512 before this deck and the Android deck is lightning fast compared to the Kenwood lol. It also comes with the navigation software IGO that is not available in the north american PlayStore. Once rooted you can extract the apk and put it on your phone. No service needed for this nav software its pretty good. Overall I love this android deck and recommend it!!!

Simple, good sound, matches the interior industrial design and doesn't attract theft.

I still have the stock speakers, plus added a sub and amp. Stock speakers sound good to me.

Always go after the HU before the speakers. Putting new, underpowered but higher performance speakers, is a useless exercise without the proper power delivered to them. In fact, you're probably going to see flatter bass and mids if you just replace the speakers. The stock speakers in the truck are paper (at least SR5s are) and are therefore more responsive with less power. Better speakers with better drivers will REQUIRE more power to move the drivers...

Deck, amp, speakers.
That's the order I'd follow.

This.
My other car ls400, granted the stock speakers have their own box in the doors.
I replaced the deck for a pioneer avic 1xxbh, a 4 channel zapco amp for the doors, and Hertz components for the doors.
I never got a chance to change out the passenger side and they sound great amped.
I'm not sure how many watts I'm driving them, probably around 75watts, and they are doing quite well.
It's distortion that kills speakers.
This spring I'll pull the door apart and install the rest of the speaker's.

I rooted my Nexus 7, but I used a tool kit to do it, so it wasn't bad. Flashed Slim cat to it, and redone the file system to f2fs.
Does this unit come without having to do a lot to it, or do you have to root it and all

I am very happy with it. I use the hands free quite often, and I stream Iheart radio daily on my commute, and am happy with the quality. At some point I may add another amp, and replace the stock speakers, but for now, the current amp + sub and stock speakers is sufficient.

Online it says no pre amp out puts, how do you have your amp hooked up? Is there a designated sub out rca? Sorry all the questions, I just really like the simplicity of that unit and how it looks close to stock

Not OP, but the FH-X720BT has two pre amp RCA outputs.
Edit: two not to lol
