Opinions for a new head unit.

What features, if any, do you lose with a system like this? It seems that climate control is covered, but what about the other settings menus?

Their website states you'll lose AA/ACP unless you buy a dongle. Also lose SiriusXM unless you buy an external module. According to their site it pretty much retains everything else, including climate controls, backup cameras, and steering wheel controls.

Seems they note that the voice control steering wheel button doesn’t work.
Can anyone with the unit installed confirm?

Yep it works as a mute button.

That would be auditory HEAVEN. Totally miss my Mute button. I emailed the company about SiriusXM; waiting for them to reply.

How's the radio reception on this? I have had a few android based stereos and all of them have some problem or another with reception.

Picks up stations better than my old radio and uses the stock antenna. Clearer too with the built in amp. Plus it has 18 station memory slots.

Can someone with this unit share the "themes" that are available with a unit like this??

 

[Shankmeyster]

What themes are you talking about? Backgrounds?

Themes for the system UI...

I've emailed them twice now with questions and haven't received a reply. Not faring too well in the customer service department.

No shit. I've been emailing them for weeks now about the dongle I ordered at the end of December. No response and it has had a shipping label for a week now without actually shipping.

I just purchased this Android audio unit made by Road Lover for only $280 w/free shipping.

It's almost $100 less then the Phoenix brand and has all the same standard features

Has anyone else purchased this product?

I personally would've gone with the Phoenix radio since it has the option for more RAM for (hopefully) smoother operation, but that's just me. Otherwise, it looks like a decent unit.

Agreed - I've sent in multiple emails questioning whether this will work with my EX-L w/Navi hatch...sent with and without picture...No. Reply. At. All.

Crap for customer service...so far.
