702GS

Found these guys on ebay, and started to search for a more name brand android unit. Crazy, nobody makes a full android head unit that you would know the brand, they are all over in china.

With that being said, having a full android unit has benefits, and I was wondering has anyone installed one?

This seems to be the latest version: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Android-4-2-2-DIN-Car-DASH-DVD-Player-GPS-Navigation-Stereo-Radio-WiFi-F-/331346866033?pt=US_Video_In_Dash_Units_w_GPS&hash=item4d25cfef71
These guys are saying that a Android 4.4 version is coming out soon, not sure if I should wait for that or just pull the trigger, its only a few hundred bucks.

Personally I'd never go with a unknown brand. You might end up kissing your hard earned money goodbye. So you save a few hundred bucks over say, Authorized Kenwood or Pioneer dealer that have compatible android stereo's such as the one I have a Kenwood DNX691HD, only for it to arrive in a malfunctioned state.
Then what? Uninstall it, write a couple emails, file a claim, pack it up, ship it back at your expense and then maybe wait for a refund or they send you a refurbished unit or another new one. Also from China? No, no, no. Hell, their embedding software viruses within the USB on those electronic vapor cigarettes.
NOT worth the head ache.

I went the dealer route and glad I did. The first unit broke in less than 16hrs. Dealer pulled it out the next day and threw in a new one. Very cool and stress free.

I hear ya, and you make some valid points. However its just a few hundred dollars, not that bad if it goes bust. What I really like about them is the fact that it is 100% Android, which you say your device is "compatible android" can you explain more about that?

I just searched your device http://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/excelon/dnx691hd/ and see nothing about android.

Thanks

Android/Apple double din is still very new to car stereo right now. The car stereo just got into HDMI input and probably another 5 years for fully functional Android/Apple into the car. I wouldn't try those Chinese brand and always hear about bad reviews about the product and it a lot of miss or hit type. I always stick with the name brand on the double din.

I have a 2011 Motorola Droid RAZR with Kit Kat. Works flawlessly. Also the list of features on this IS amazing.
As far as compatabilty here is their website.

Mine isn't listed on there as the highest model # for Motorola they list is xt910 and mine is xt912 yet still works flawlessly.
Hope this helps.
