Was looking to replace my current deck and I just want a full touch screen one that can Bluetooth music streaming and whatever else. I've never heard of this brand but are they reputable? Can anyone give their 2 cents, greatly appreciated

And this one as well

The prices alone would tell me to steer clear of those products. If you do purchase from them, expect low quality components with a higher probability of failure as well as poor quality control

JBL has the C100 Legend coming out in may that fits your requirements

Run from them. Go with a quality brand that is known.

Yep, a lot of these no name brands run some modified android system. They often have long startup times 30s+ and not everything works just right. They are also all based in china so good luck with the instruction, support, and warranty.

Pioneer makes some really good decks a bit more in price but you will be way happier and wont mind the price after install. I'm running a 4100nex head unit and love it has all the bell and whistles exact built in nav but if you have iphone or android you can use gps through the aps and will show up on screen best purchase so far. Like the others don't cheap out you will only regret it later
