ok.....I said I'd have questions, here goes.
I am looking to upgrade the head unit and speakers in the 5. I have been looking at different options at various locations (Crutchfield, Best Buy, Amazon, and Car Toys). I am finding a bunch of different options and have always wanted to go with a more popular/name brand unit (pioneer, JVC, Kenwood, etc).
in this thread http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123831660-Post-Pics-of-your-Aftermarket-Mazda5-Stereo-Setups/page5 I have found more than a couple people using the android head units. I am curious about the different experiences that some of you have had with these android head units. I know I could post in that thread and ask Whitegrill5, Typhoonk123456, Vasy, etc....but I felt that I wanted to get a broader audience and not clutter that thread up with questions. I stumbled across this one and it looks very similar to a couple in that thread http://www.seicane.com/2009-2012-mazda-5-android-gps-navigation-system-with-dvd-player-radio-mirror-link-multi-touch-screen-obd-dvr-rear-view-camera-tv-3g-wifi-usb-sd-bluetooth-ipod-s168005 . it appears to me to be a lot like the knock-off china made android tablets that are a lot lower of a price point than their Samsung counterparts. how have these lasted? any regrets? they seem to be feature rich, but I am wondering about quality....
also, for those who have just upgraded the factory 6x8's is that enough for this vehicle plus a smaller amp (45 watts RMS per channel) to get decent sound?
thanks in advance!
