It's a good Android head unit that has the skin on it already to fit into your dash.

Some warnings: Be VERY careful with your factory connectors. Don't force anything, if it feels like too much force it probably is. I ended up bending some pins and damaging a couple of openings on my factory connectors. I knocked my steering wheel button wire connection out of place (I fixed this) and I seem to have broken the connection for the head unit to read climate control (haven't fixed this). Just be careful with your connectors, go slow, and you will be ok.

Great stuff:

G1: You will notice an improvement in sound quality with this, especially with bass. The factory radio neuters out bass and doesn't let the subwoofer sing (or bump rather). With this, you can make the car shake with its factory speakers, love it!

G2: The software that the head unit manufacturer loads on it good and easy to use, though expect some wonky translations at some turns. Having Android on my head unit is a great improvement in the quality of life of my day-to-day commuting.

G3: You can map your steering wheel buttons to do pretty much whatever you want on the head unit. I mapped a couple of mine to Google Assistant and brightness toggle just to name a couple.

G4: Fits perfectly in the dash with a from-the-factory esque look to it. If you don't look too closely, it fits in very nicely.

So-So stuff:

S1: Install was kind of a mixed bag. I did an initial install and found I didn't have sound coming out of the head unit. After working with the support team, they told me there was likely a wire disconnected, the AMP and AMPCON wire were not connected. I suspect this will be standard on all wiring harnesses because one was capped with plastic beckoning you to mate it with the other wire. YOU WILL HAVE TO CONNECT IT to get sound coming out. It's very easy, just strip the covered wire and crimp it to the existing connector they provide on the wire already.

Things I didn't like:

B1: My unit had an incorrect panel installed on the right of the unit, so I could only mount it with one of my factory units. The manufacturer will be sending me a new one, but do a basic quality check before scratching everything up.

B2: The wiring harness they provide you is good and 98% complete (note above Amplifier wire situation), but it's a rat's nest and makes it hard to do cable management in the already confined space in the dash. BE CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING THIS IN THE DASH! If you have resistance as you're pushing it in, wires are in the way and you will have to move them.

B3: I don't like the LEDs on the volume and tuner dials. They are very bright and can't be dimmed as far as I can see. I think you can take out the pin that powers them, too much hassle for me now that I got the head unit installed, but if you find the same opinion, take a look at the pin map on top of the unit to take care of this.

B4: Their manual is terrible in that it doesn't have anything about physical installation of the head unit; it's just for the software on the head unit. I get that this is supposed to be a plug and play alternative, but considering I had a lot of issues with the install, at least some FAQs or wiring diagrams would be helpful.

This is the bottom of the list but wanted to comment on the good support I received. I worked with their support team and they were helpful enough to get me on my way. Most of the issues I encountered they could help me out with, the others after some head scratching, the ones they helped me with definitely need to go into an install manual.
