Forget it. I have yet to see an aftermarket unit that is reasonably priced that works well.
I have had my T9 for 6 months now without any issues.

I think the main thing to consider is that the people who have an issue complain. The happy ones just enjoy their stereo. Yes I have seen units that are bad, but it looks like Car Trim Home has been good about replacements.

Another thing is that the T9 is basically an android tablet. So it can be a little complicated to setup or use the apps you want if you are not technologically inclined.

The T9 (and im sure the Dasaita) really is great. The Screen is larger and much higher resolution. The sound is 10x better than OEM, it has a much better EQ, sound delay per channel. I pretty much only use it for my downloaded music and bluetooth podcasts, I get to use Power Amp which is an amazing music app and allows me to use my FLAC files. Google maps is also a million times better than the shitty OEM navigation.

For $450 I dont think you can beat it. I also think it is the best looking option for us. And I like that it keeps the volume knob.

Biggest draw for me are knobs and factory look.

I can deal with some complication in the setup process, but it has to perform like normal on a day-to-day basis.

Hoping these start making their way into the public and that they're decent. I'm an Apple family, but Android 10 is interesting so that it's not already behind-the-times when you first get it (like Android 7.0 or 8.0)

$450? Amazon has it listed at $630. How is the microphone? It looks like you have to route a new microphone rather than use the OEM.

Bluetooth sound

I want to move ahead with the T9 but have heard from some of the owners that it feels "distant" using the built-in mic? Also how easy is it to stream android auto?

This thread isn't about the T9.

Putting my order together within the next couple weeks so I'll happily be the guinea pig on that one.

Yeah I've had it installed for about 6 weeks now and love it! I'm doing a video on it I'll put on YouTube but let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.

For what its worth, I've had the t9 in my 2012 limited, so far so good. There is some reach and configuration required, but a solid facebook group that has a lot of documented install and config best practices. I'd recommend that one along with a lot of other people here it seems.
