stevenc1703 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) A few months ago i bought one of the 10" android units for our cars, The one in the link. Cheap eBay unit I found it to be rather slow and after checking it with CPU-Z I found that it only had 1gb of ram which was probably the bottle neck. I was able to have this confirmed with one other person who bought this unit as well. Its so bad that they even have a fake specs page that lists the memory at 2gb but with access to the market its not hard to check with CPU-Z. The ram was a factor but also the software was not great, poorly laid out, and the screen was terrible. I watched a few videos on the YouTube app and it looked like it was 8bit colors. I have an Atoto in my forester, and an Eonon in my Silverado so i know how nice a good unit can be but this wasnt it. So i started searching and came across a manufacturer that was able to make a custom unit that would have a little more grunt. We settled on a unit with a 10.4" HD screen, PX6 Rockchip, 4GB ram, 32GB rom, better tuner, and better amp. This unit also had both FM, and AM radio, Canbus integration, Built in Android auto and apple carplay, and an optional dash cam. Once i got the new unit i installed it and shared my experiences with the fifth gen legacy group on facebook. There seemed to be a fair amount of interest in the unit so i started a group buy to help people interested in something like this avoid navigating through all of the units out there that arent quite up to snuff. I have a few youtube videos linked at the bottom with comparisons of the 2 that i had and the install experience with the new one. I also have a link to the group buy being facilitated through my website. Depending on interest ill probably let this go for another week before i put the order in. These can be shipped worldwide and they have an option for the RHD members. They can work with the HK audio nav units with a little extra work, mine was HK with nav and there are a few in the group buy that are also.

moral hazard Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The vertical version looks great and it's nice these are Android so the torque app would work, ideal to have the gauges up on the screen. I personally cant justify it for my car as it gets very minimal use over winter only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenc1703 Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 I use btssm on mine but torque works too. Yea it's not a cheap upgrade but gotta be one of my favorite mods on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Bromfield Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Such a pity that there is no vertical screen version for RHD.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssulb Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Wow the new unit looks pretty impressive! I bought a very similar Tesla screen unit from Seicane back in 2019. Oh it was horrible. It must have been a rebadged eBay variant. But watching the video of your new unit, it looks like the new unit is much much better. The most annoying thing with the Seicane was random crashes, lag, and an annoying beep everything I used my steering wheel controls. One time when I was driving on the highway, everything froze, even the audio. I was not able to turn the volume down at all. I had to pull over and physically unplug the unit to reset it as turning the key on/off didn't reset it completely. I wanted to return it but Seicane would not allow me to so I am stuck with in a box. Edited March 18, 2021 by ssulb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssulb Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 How is the screen in direct sunlight? How dim can the screen get during night time? Did you try putting any launchers on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD123 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Has anyone bought one of these - looks pretty interesting. I have been thinking about getting something that does android auto - the S10-B model is under $200 - don't know if the 4GB+32GB is laggy or what...

I don't have any info for you...but if you're going to replace the radio you might as well do it once and be happy. I bet 4gb is enough but I want that 8gb insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Good point. Might as well future proof it. does anyone know if this works in cars with factory Nav? I know other tablet style head units had an issue with the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have pictures listed A-B-C, ours is option C. They'll supply the cables you need to hook it up properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
