    EVERY one of these tablet style Android head units are Chinese made POS! People are drawn to them because they are inexpensive and appear to have a number of amazing features, but in reality they are incredibly buggy, unresponsive, and offer terrible audio performance when compared to a head unit manufactured by a legit car audio company like Alpine, Kenwood, Sony, etc.

Aftermarket halo headlights with HID, various LED bulb replacements. 17" Fuel Blitz wheels with some 33" Nitto terra grapplers. Hoodscoop, nfab nerfbars, Bushwacker flares. No-name aftermarket grille, led fender extensions. Black Horse bambi-basher. Various offroad lights.
    So, playing devil's advocate here, you have owned and professionally tested every Chinese made headunit to determine that they are POS? Just curious. You do realize that most digital electronics are made in China, including many of the products from Alpine, Kenwood and Sony. Unless of course you are making an exception for products designed and inspected by companies from other countries. But then we have to factor in that many of these Chinese companies patent-infringe, reverse-engineer and/or downright copy their designs from successful companies, like the ones you listed. So are the products using copied designs from "legit" companies also crap, or just unethical? Enlighten us, I'm sure we'd all love your expert opinion. Seriously.

    Also remember that these head units are alot harder on the battery, have your battery checked also if it's the stock unit.

    Do you have any update on the release date yet? I just cancelled my order after a long 5 months wait. Good luck with your order and please let us know when you receive your unit.

    I have the Linkswell Gen 4. I was considering getting the Sergey firmware, but I feel like I can never get a straight answer from anyone as to what the firmware does from a functional standpoint. I couldn't care less about any themes or other aesthetic aspects. One problem I have with the Linkswell that I don't have on my wife's Android HU, which is Android 10, is that I can't seem to get tasker to split screen reliably (perhaps because the unit is Android 8.1). What functional improvements do you feel make the firmware worth it? Are you using Tasker for anything on the HU?

    Still happy with the Linkswell unit? I'm a noob here and have heard about the Sergey update but am not clear what that includes. I assume it has a to do with the interface/firmware? Considering putting one of these in my truck but trying to get more info on this combination first. Thanks.

    If you buy the correct HU for your year/make/model, then yes, it will plug right into your existing harness. If you want to get fancy, like keeping the oem microphone, you'll have to do some splicing.

    I ordered thier newest version. Watched a few recent install videos and user videos. Looks like they have worked out a few kinks. I can update when I receive it and get installed.

    Those whom are rocking this unit, can I get honest feedback? I'm a samsung junky so foreign electronics are fun to tinker with and good in my opinion.
