Youtube, Alexa , Amazon music , Google assistant, Amazon Prime Video all works like on any other Android device. Waze works but a bit glitchy like when I'm on GWB it puts the icon in middle of the water and not inline. Corrects itself when I'm off the bridge. Funny thing. It also zooms in and out on its own. Maybe there's someway to correct that. I'm using GPS splitter with factory antenna.

Voice command works normal too, aside from Waze where you might have to speak up but not to the point where you're shouting.

Overall I love it. I got some vids that I'll put up on YouTube this week. I've seen many install videos but not too many experiences.

Also sound volume from the apps is about 25 percent lower than normal. Loud enough for comfortable listening.

Second hand? lucky you. Anyways, I got it, and few others. Are you sure it's 720 screen as most have the Avin unit. Try reaching out to them via WhatsApp.

Yes second hand, why lucky? Some guy didnt want it.
I've installed with the help of 2 members here and its 720p screen confirmed.

Will they even help me or support me if I didnt even buy the unit from them directly?

Have you tried root or anyone tried root?
Have you received any updates from him?

Lucky because you either got it cheaper or for free. That's luck. I just bought one 2 weeks ago again. Ain't too much 720s out there to begin with. I didn't root. But the guys F30 section did.

What pre installed apps can we delete from these units. Also noticed that all these functions are pretty much pre installed apps as well, like DVR, DVD, CLOCK, WEATHER, ID7 LAUNCHER, MUSIC, etc etc

I don't have the Avin one but it's all the same process.

Download a launcher (Nova Launcher) and change everything to your liking.

On the unit Google image search any image that come to mind and make it your wallpaper.

If you want I'll post that actual image and just save to your device.

Yup you can, I use the back button on the iDrive controller and hold the menu button for a few seconds to get back into android.

So am I understanding it correctly that it's hard to get a 720p screen? Is that still a problem? Hopefully not because I'd like to order one if anyone has a reliable source

Yes. You lose absolutely nothing. But gain absolutely everything an Android tablet can offer. Switching back and forth with no problems at all.

Are there no add ons for it? With the avin unit you had to add things but the car Navi one seems to only be the screen, no options.

Sorry for another question

CarNavi and I'm assuming everyone else gives you everything you need to get connected. If by addons you mean like cameras, Carplay dongles, etc etc then yes you would have to get all that from other vendors. But I believe CarNavi has Carplay dongles. Bottom line is this. Avin and others get their stuff from China whether that be via Aliexpress.com, Dhgate.com or Alibaba.com. like everyone else.

I'm going to hope that I just didn't get the harness plugged in all the way but has anyone else had this experience? This is what I get when I try and go to the stock version. I also have no sound from the speakers but the android screens all work.
