Default poor man's Android Auto

Thought I'd share this in case anyone else was balking at the $700ish Chinese tesla type radio replacements. It runs audio through the Aux input. The only real complaint I have with it is that the mic for handsfree calling is not as good as the built-in mic in the car, but for $100 all in, I'm pretty satisfied. It is much brighter than the factory display.

I removed the mounting base and used the linked vent mounts below so no holes in the dash. I may try to find a way to route the power and aux wiring through the vent and under the console for a cleaner look at some point. The wire you see draped over the unit is just my charging cord for my phone and not part of the unit.

That is pretty good for 100 bucks. Thanks for sharing
