Can't decide which Android Auto head unit to get

It seems none of the tech sites have done any real reviews these things, which makes them hard to compare.
First it looks like its between Kenwood and Pioneer. Are there any big advantages to either one? I read a comment from someone who said the kenwoods had faster cpus and dedicated GPS antennas which helped a lot with Android Auto performance and downtown GPS locks. Any truth to that?
Then I'd need to decide on a sub model. It looks like the only difference between the Kenwoods is aptx? Currently the 970 is 200 cheaper than the 990. Does aptx have any place when using Android Auto or is it just for base features?
The top of the line Pioneer has a capactive display, but is also a thousand dollars. Does anyone know if it is worth it? Does it perform any better than its siblings?
I'd also like to have a mic for voice commands and calls and add a backup camera. I will more than likely use a dedicated nexus 5 plugged in all the time. Will it automatically start with out intervention with the car?

I'm not familar with the Kenwoods, but I'm happy with my Pioneer 4100NEX.
Pioneer put out an Android Auto compatible headunit I think 3-4 months before Kenwood (or anyone else) released any.
This IMO is likely due to the fact that Pioneer HUs run Android, AND they have a good relationship with Google. These are good reasons to consider Pioneer devices.

Works perfect.
No problems thus far, no regrets.
Basic radio on the unit works well, and the Android Auto experience has been great too. Have only experienced a few minor problems with the Android Auto app itself, which have seemed to have been resolved with updates over time.

Headunit Recommendations for BMW E90

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend some headunits for a BMW E90 2006? i have seen EONON and Xtrons but after a little research it seems most of these units are built in the same factory but the company just add there own little bits to make them unique. Given i intend to put a custom rom on i just wanted to check if theres any units are known to be good for custom roms?
Cheers.

Looks like joy unit are the most popular right now. Search on AliExpress.

Major help needed and appreciated.

What's going on guys, I'm new to the android auto but not new to the rooting and flashing of Android devices.
Anyway, I own a 2007 Mercedes CLS 63. I have been looking to update the HU but I feel like I'm stuck in a twilight zone of decisions. The HU I want I'd like it to match the same bracket/buttons that my oem HU has. I found several websites that make these HU (Xtrons, Erisin, Joying(outdated hardware compared to the other two)). I been reading all over the Android auto topics for a week now and just need y'all experienced opinions. I want the New px5 chipset HU and I plan on installing it myself (hopefully with some help from you guys).
Units I am looking to buy
Xtron- PB76M211AP
or
Erisin- ES6501B
I heard pros and cons on both xtrons and erisin, I heard more pros on reliability of xtrons. Which one would you guys suggest?
Xtrons HU for my car on their official website is 100-150$ more then the ebay one, how come? Is the ebay seller lying that its xtron?
Is the wifi problem fixed? I plab on using my phone hotspot to watch sports/movies mostly since I work with my car mostly.
Is the screen mirroring reliable?
What entices me more then anything is the dash cam and reverse cam. I want my dash cam to record/take a screen shot when the car is off and the car gets bumped from parking (NYC parking is atrocious). I just finished putting 13k onto my car because a lady that didnt know how to park messed up my front end, lady its an expensive car! Luckily insurance took care of it.
That's it for now id appreciate any help, I love the idea of an android HU, but if it's more of a hassle then it is worth it then I'm just going to stay oem.

Belsee Octacore 4gb Android 8.0 Oreo

I was looking at new equipment and found a company called Belsee. Can anyone tell me more about these new units. It appears that Belsee is new and has the newest hardware.

Welcome new poster. These appear to be MTCD or variant of and with BC5 Bluetooth module, I'm not sure how these could possibly be called "newest hardware."
From reviewing their website, they are yet another reseller of vanilla MTCD units with the same issues as all others and possibly more with a BC5!

Interesting. I’m not sure why the Bluetooth unit would be a concern. What would you suggest as being the top of the line and newest?

This is the unit I am looking at http://https://www.belsee.com/belsee-aftermarket-toyota-camry-2007-2011-9-touch-dual-screen-android-8-0-oreo-double-2-din-head-unit-auto-radio.html

This is the newest version from Joying http://https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-9-inch-toyota-camry-android-octa-core-px5-car-radio-head-unit-with-bluetooth-video-out-function.html

This is another option from Phoenix https://phoenixandroidradios.com/products/10-4-vertical-screen-android-navigation-radio-for-toyota-camry-2006-2012

Belsee
If Bluetooth is a concern apparently they will upgrade the bic5 to parrot for around $60 USD.
I'd like to hear about anyone's experience with their products. Looks interesting but I'm not sure yet.
They aren't exactly cheap. But the memory is very tempting.

I have it installled on my 17 crosstrek. Works well. I have it connected to my phones (android) hotspot and bluetooth for calls. Works perfectly there just hickups when you have a new launcher, pandora, Dash cam recording and google maps running. But all in all WAY better then stock! Just needed to get my reverse camera professionally installed to get working. The rest like steering controls and everything else was plug and play. Also just fyi the radio SUCKS A** on it. So don't use it.

help with my choice (px30 or px6)

Hi, I have a px5 4gb unit in my old car, its great although it always had a problem where the touch screen wold become unresponsive after a while (which is annoying).
I bought another car and started looking for a new radio again, i love the sound of my alpine unit but hate how they look, the android units win.
I ordered a new unit from xtrons but didnt realize it was a px30 unit, i meant to get a px6.
Is the px30 worse than my previous px5 unit? Should i return the px30 and get a px6?
Anyone had any experience with the px30? Are they any good?
I'd love to get some views on the px30, or if i should just return it (it arrives tomorrow)
Thanks in advance,
Jas

Hello everyone. I think about buying Android radio for my car. I have two options: px30 and px6. Second one is 200PLN (about 55usd) more expensive. Is px6 worth it? Except processor these radios are identical. The same Android 10, same UI etc. I'm just wondering if px30 is enough for that radio, or I should take more efficient version. What would you choose?

PX6 better than PX5 , PX5 better than PX30

Any experience with the px30? I only really use it for google maps and music. Anyone got one? The style I like isnt available in px6 yet also they're pricey.
Thanks
