I'd wait up and see when these come to market and how well they do before pulling the trigger, especially with a newer version coming out in a few months.

Appreciate it. I decided to pull the trigger on this last night. I was told everything from the stock unit would work with this unit - backup camera, steering wheel controls, radio, etc.
I’ll keep y’all posted on the status - both good and bad.

If you are interested in having Apple Carplay with that, here is the link to a product on Amazon that can do that. https://amzn.to/2Etd8YL

It works with any android device, including tablets, radios, and phones. So any android device can have carplay run on it. The only issue is power for the phones and tablets. Luckily I have a tablet that has a usb port and a charging port so that is not an issue for me. For phones, you would need an OTG cable and a power and data splitter cable.

I’ve had a handful of people send me DMs about the head unit.
I’m going to talk to the manufacturer tomorrow to see what price I can get for a group buy, but I need to see who would be interested if I was able to get the price down to $450 or $475? I’m not saying they will agree to anything, but I’m going to ask. I just need numbers to support me asking for that low of a price.
I’ll also ask what kind of warranty these carry. I don’t see it being anything fantastic given that these are coming from China so I’ll also ask them to explicitly state what is or isn’t supported.

I installed this exact head unit. Thread and pics here - Upgrade 2018 to Support CarPlay?
Look through and you will see where myself and one other guy installed it in a “high” and “low” option. It’s a great unit.

There are many double-din options on Amazon like this for $350~$500 for AA. Reviews for those chinese-made units are all over the place. But at least you can get a refund on amazon if it is DOA. "Dasita" is one of the more popular ones (going back a few years).

It runs Android as it's OS, but any Android head unit can run Apple Carplay, apps, and everything else.
Extremely interested. If this thing is even half decent, I would be in.

CarTrimHome Android 9” Audio Replacement?
My unit should be here in about a week and a half. I did confirm the $500 unit is the upgraded one which is 2+32 which apparently means 2 GB RAM and 32 memory; I was told this version did not run into the previous freezing issues encountered by the smaller unit. It is completely compatible with all OEM functions, but I will still confirm - steering wheel controls, backup camera, radio, USB, etc. It works on all 10-19 4Rs.
I’m already working on negotiating the group buy price which looks to be about $470 shipped. They are waiting on additional testing results and getting additional inventory before that would be available, but I would expect sometime in the next 30 to 45 days.
