Android HU install.

Two additional things about the unit. It's very reflective and wearing polarized glasses is an issue much more then my old alpine had. It still have the mfg protective sticker

Always worried these units won't work one way or the other, but there's really nothing out there that can replace what this does. For $300 I might give this one a try, there's quite a few on the Joying site, wonder if others are just as good or better?

Boot/Times

Backup cam loads up very fast haven't timed it, but never had to wait at all for it, I think it's just a bypass feeding the video signal direct to the display.
It loads about in less then 30 sec usually around 20 or so. How ever it's very sluggish for the first 2-3 min.
Also from time to time it get's a bit slow if you have been opening a lot of apps, they put a button on the main screen, looks like a rocket, to clear up a lot of background processes and memory and that seems to have been working decently.

Took the chance and ordered a similar Joying deck with rear view cam,

https://www.amazon.ca/JOYING-Lollipo...eywords=joying

Bit more since I'm a Canuck , also ordered the Nissan harness directly from there site, from what I watched in the steering wheel video they posted I won't need a AWSC-1 to get the steering wheel controls to work, I have one and only got it working intermittently on my JVC deck, do not want to go through the hassle of trying to get it to work hence I bought the proper harness, the Metra harness I have does not include all the proper wiring, this one does.

Will let you all know how it turns out, installed a Bazooka sub in my Z the other day, this will be my second toy .

No one's complained yet that they can't hear or understand me.

As far as I can tell no HD Radio. The do sell some digital radio adapter but I don't know if it's for US HD Radio.

Just an update, ordered the Joying JY-UL135 last Thursay and was delivery yesterday, quick delivery for sure. Paid duties and taxes and had today off to install, was a pretty easy install, ordered this unit from Amazon.ca and the Nissan harness from Joying site, the harness is complete as in you don't need to soldier anything, it's straight from the Nissan stock stereo connector to the new deck, only had to strip the power cable for my powered sub connection.

Unit itself is nice, a more refined setup compared to my older Nexus 7 + single din deck install I did a year ago, that was in my bus. Best thing I found is you really don't require a steering wheel control module, at least I got most of it working without wiring anything else up, other than the steering wheel phone buttons the volume down button doesn't work for some reason. But, you can program the other buttons however you like so I have source as mode, track up as volume up, track down as volume down and volume up as next track, works very good.

Also got the backup cam, but after checking some vids I didn't want to pull apart my 2016 just yet, few more years and i'll tear it down to install it.

So, pretty impressed with it so far, does everything I expected (coming from a tablet install remember) and more, very responsive the boot up is quick, well worth the $400 I paid.

Can you still use the steering wheel phone controls with the Android OS head unit?

The unit is still working fine, only having some memory issues. I have the be conservative about app space and clear up some junk from the built in memory, it doesn't have much and runs out fast.

I would have 100% done a tablet instead of HU, but it can not be paired with a phone for bluetooth calling (to my knowledge). There are some hacky work-arounds, but nothing that behaves cleanly.
