Sooo i saw a post from 2019 regarding these however nothing recent, has anyone bought and installed one of these? if so share the experience and would you recommend?

Also any other aftermarket systems you have replaced the head deck with?

You could get the android tesla screens - they are getting better with the newer versions since they use newer chipsets etc. You may get issues installing them if they send you a wrong harness and in some cases some features may not work. I can understand wanting to change. I went through a year of looking to change mine but decided not to after seeing how much f**king around it needed (this was when these were first released and many people were doing testing and talking to the manufacturer to get different things programmed for different variations of the car in USDM/JDM etc.

The module currently in my V36 is from Naviplus. It's local and so far my AV guy have had good support from the guys at Naviplus.

The only other thing I can say is the build quality was not great and did not look good. A few people I know ended up wrapping up the plastic trims etc. but your car, your call.

I am NOT recommending this unit, and only know what I can see from the link below. I only post it because I have not seen anyone mention it.

Things to note:

  • Its an Australian based company
  • The unit is $519, but once you add the min expected things such as a reverse camera, its $715 (scroll down) before installation
  • It basically looks to be an android phone/tablet, and 3GB RAM is not a lot.

Another place to check about these would by an android forum such as:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/android-head-units.4267/

Personally, I have my center screen translated, and use my phone for very good Audio (possibly not installable on this unit?), and navigation (Waze, which could be installed, but I am rooted/jailbroken and have modified it to remove the ads ect etc) and also ODBII over bluetooth. I also kind of like having a second screen (ie the phone) purposefully for Nav. And it kina looks a little bit like a tack-on with sticky tape.

I recently installed one of the 12.1 tesla screens in my 08 V36 (Nav, bose, rev & side cam) that I bought on Amazon (SHRZR i think the brand was). I msg'd the seller first with my car details and they sent me extra harnesses, but no instructions.
The 6gb of ram and 128gb internal storage is excellent, nothing lags, I've installed poweramp, waze, Newpipe and Novalauncher plus widgets etc... All very snappy. Installation was a fkin pain, but I think that was mostly my inexperience. It was hard to find support/information on it because there are SO many different chinese headunits. The firmware was barebones and missing features listed in the add. But installing Novalauncher fixed pretty much everything software wise except one thing. This unit aquires the time by gps or phone signal, which ever is available. Both antenna are weak. So on a rainy or cloudy day, it can take almost 10 minutes to display the correct time & date lol.
Here's the one i bought, I left the 4 star review.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
