Another thing is I'm in Canada and if I were to buy from Avin, the final cost after the exchange rate wouldn't be that much different compared to 4x4 shop. I also didn't pay any handling fee

But again they are different units. Real question is longevity and screen quality. I admit I ordered a set so hopefully it'll be here in a week or so and I'll be able to compare the 2 units. At least the screens as I'm sure the rest will be pretty transparent.

Well finally heard back from 4x4 after 3 days. It would appear that either they don't have the units in stock or they're building them per order cuz I was just told today the order would ship till next week. Then when I asked why they literally just repeated themselves without giving a reason. I asked if there was a back order or other delay cuz it's not listed in their website when ordering.
I was hoping to do a side by side comparison before having to return the Avin unit which only give you 14 days. That will be up for me next weekend so I have to return by Wednesday. Let's just say I'm glad I didn't pay $60 for 2 years of unhelpful responses lol

1. They do not continue communication if you haven't purchased a unit because like you said, they must of responded to about 2 of my emails. It's as if they're waisting their time by responding to legitimate concerns. 2. Found it on Aliexpress. And I've been searching and it probably was released within the last couple days. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3302...2-793332a6586b Last edited by SupersixM; 05-30-2019 at 05:58 PM.. |

It's just a poorly managed little shop. I'm sure they're nice people. Just a small operation with little support to handle simple emails. I'm sure they're super busy up there in Canadia. Their website is also wonky. Can't load it properly in any browser on my phone which forced me to pull out my laptop and then when I created an account it wouldn't open my cart to let me make a purchase. But it would let me keep adding stuff. I had to log out and then make the purchase as a guest to even get into the cart. Pretty ridiculous.

I’ll just wait on AvinUsa. Even though I’m tempted to just buy it out right from Aliexpress. I could get the unit dvr cam and rear cam for less than $700. Just warranty would be a hassle. Avin is in Cali, so returns shouldn’t be a hassle. Can’t wait though to have Google Maps, Waze, Amazon Music, Kodi, and YouTube on my dash among other things.. I have one of those T-Mobile OBD2 Hotspots just waiting to turn back on. I give everything til June 30.

New 720p screen and android 9.0 come in Tuesday. So fingers crossed it was worth the effort dealing with 4x4s lack of a GAF.
Definitely wish I just bought direct from aliexpress as my unit is coming direct from HK anyway lol. They led me to believe they did something with the units themselves. Stress tests and functionality blah blah blah. Told me the unit won't be available till June 13. Then I get a shipping notice from DHL account that I have an item coming from HK. What a joke that Canadian company is. They're just a middle man who is there to mark up the unit and make a profit. Definitely can't recommend using them especially for the cost given you can save a few $100 and get direct from aliexpress.
