I guess the question is how long it will last... I have bought some very cheap wireless headphones from Amazon which has been going strong for almost 2 years now despite various accidental drops on hard surfaces at head height but buying cheap stuff you can never know...
Heck, these things are interesting but since most folks now days have at least one smart phone, tablet(s) as well as laptop(s). I wonder if just adding Bluetooth to the factory AM/FM radio (if not so already equipped) is the cheapest solution. Granted it is a great convenience. BUT, if you are on a budget it doses nothing to make life better. To replace a broken radio may be ok economically though.
Agama makes it sweet it really does! so customizable every little part of the homescreen is custom, no bs ,any color and shade,3d look, rename each of the apps and put multiple apps behind each of those 6 tabs,my high end pioneer is just SAD its to bad the big boys of car audio have a lot to learn, the 10" screen blows all my pioneers away if you step up to the $1200 pioneer then you get close but its like comparing a 50"tv to a 75"STILL after you spend $1200 for the tiny 7" pioneer its still nothin 2 brag about in size and customization - click my icon pic.- i mounted this unit over my pioneer!
Thanks for sharing mate! I was just about to return my Android unit, but i'll give the launcher idea a go. And yes the music player is definitely garbage! It cuts out the first couple of seconds of every song!!! Ps, do you have any dramas with low volume? Mine doesn't turn down very low, it gets to a point and then mutes. Kinda wanna have some background music on low when i'm having d&ms in the car at the end of the night ya know?
Are the viewing angles terrible on this unit?? I have a 10.1 one glass screen and its quite decent, and very bright, i wonder if the 7" ones have the same screen quality... Cause i got a new ride and i wanna get something thay fits perfectly on the new car, and not a masive screen like the other one 😂

When u say hardwire ur rev cam do u mean run the power from ur rev light or run the cam wire directly to ur head unit? I know it sounds Dumb but reason i ask is i just got an even cheaper head unit for like 56 bucks & the cam it comes with only has about 5 or 6 ft cable & if im running it directly to the head unit I'm gna need to start ordering a compatible cable that can span the distance between the rear of my vehicle (yukon xl) & my head unit. Thanks for the review & ur time 👍👍
The backup cameras are wired into the reverse wire on a stereo so if a stereo is booting shifting to reverse gives the power from the reverse lights to the stereo turning on the reverse feature and overrides the boot time idk why his stereo boots up everytime I just out the same one in my girlfriends focus and I have a more premium android radio in my f350 they both do quick boot after the first initial long boot
What device are you using? Mine has a media button that you can select if audio goes through bt or phone. Perhaps delete the connection and make sure permission is granted for audio.
@@Grandpasaab I just installed mine one week ago (hard to install (I am a girl)) and I succeeded "(ღ˘ ⌣ ˘ღ)" The audio is fine but may I say, depending equilizers you set and speaker qualities... Just be sure to connect the right wires together because there is no user guide on this so I had to use my feminine intuition...

There is a reverse trigger wire on the harness. You have to connect that to the reverse signal of your vehicle. You then connect the camera to your tail light for power and run the vga cable from the deck to the camera.
Alternator went out 6 months ago. I replaced it 2 months ago. Battery completely died and after I replaced it everything was exactly the same! I don't really drive that truck anymore, just when I need to haul something.
I just installed one in my car and i notice it’s not as loud as the factory unit...when playing radio it’s fine but using Bluetooth through my tidal it’s way too low
how is the EQ on this unit i have watched multiple videos on these units and nobody seems to go over the EQ I'm a sound head slash bass head and i wanna know if this head unit will support my system with enough tweaking and sound level out put to feed my amps
I've heard people use Spotify or other music apps to control eq if there are issues with the stock equalizer. Running music through apps is a perk you might find useful with Android head units.
The EQ is ok. I'm running 2 pioneer champion 12s on a 1k watt poineer amp and I have to adjust the settings a bit between the radio and Spotify, but it still does the job
Looking foward to those launchers, tbh the stock one i dont hate it as much as you 😂 Stock music player and bt player are quick to get while driving. The shitty car in the background kinda sucks but i never leave my radio on that window so whatever Will definetly look into the launchers cause they definetly look great, but the stock one is nice to work with when you driving so i like that
Sounds like you have it wired to a constant 12v. Find your ignition 12v wire coming out of your car and connect to 12v ignition in the head unit. Im not familiar with these specific ones . Sounds like you have constant (battery) 12v wired to the ignition wire of the head unit
Just plug in the antenna and search for satellites. You can download maps to a flash drive from waze i believe. There are other videos that explain how that works.
You can download Sygic its a good satelite GPS app, no need for wifi it uses the antenna. or you can download offline maps in google maps, it will use your gps antenna for location.
No. As long as you have mobile hotspot it should connect. Just hold the connections menu and go to hotspot. Once you find your wifi connect to it. Make sure you have your security set right for what you're doing.
On the home screen pull the menu down from the top. It will either be on the connections tab or notifications tab. Select connections and go to bluetooth then search for your device.
Hey what’s up, I bought the same exact one and Hooked it up but I can not for the life of me get me rearview camera to work. When I put it in reverse the screen just goes black like there is power going to the reverse wire and kicking it to think it’s in reverse mode but no picture I tried all of the RCA inputs HELP
You have to find the reverse switch for your vehicle. If it goes black you probably got that right. I connected the power for the camera directly to the reverse of my taillight.
I did that also. I stole the power for the camera from the reverse light and then i did the same thing for the reverse wire coming off the harness. Since I had to run the AV cable from the rear anyways
When I grew up, I used to keep my keys in the ignition with the windows down and doors unlocked. Nobody ever bothered with it. Times have changed, now I need to remember to lock the car every night so I don't get robbed. Kinda sad...
Phones are running like 3-4GB Ram now but Im not playing games on car stereo I guess. But music and GPS can be pretty labor intensive also so I wonder if 1GB ram would slow down fast
Omg man thanks for the launcher. I got the same radio and I really hated what they had. Thanks again!
Did it improve the sound compared to your factory radio or could you not tell the difference?

How has it been hoding up?
How is it bro
I use Car Launcher and it works great. Home screen is somewhat customizable and you can choose which music player you want to control.
How much does it cost?
I guess the question is how long it will last... I have bought some very cheap wireless headphones from Amazon which has been going strong for almost 2 years now despite various accidental drops on hard surfaces at head height but buying cheap stuff you can never know...
How's sound quality on these units? I see a lot of them on banggood for $75-$200. More money gets you faster CPU, more RAM/ROM.
