    If they work, they work great. The day they stop, you have an expensive paper weight.
    If buying from Amazon, get extended warranty otherwise cartrimhome is the only place with an active support community.

    I don't have experience with that particular headunit but I love the Joying HU I have in my 5th gen (going on about 2 years without any issues). Mine has optical/TOSLINK output that's feeding my dsp, a 5 dollar Bluetooth OBD2 adapter which I use for the Torque APP, has a real external GPS/GLONASS receiver for offline maps, and it didn't need an expensive adapter to get the steering wheel controls to work... all for a fraction of the cost of the Alpine, Pioneer, Sony offerings.
