Bought this and it wasn't what they said!
I bought this unit because it had several features that I wanted; it turns out that it didn't have some of those features. I wanted two USB ports for connecting up phones and HD drives. They told me it has two but it only has one, on the back. I also wanted to get an external mic and they told me it had a universal connector. Once again it did not. It has some two wire connector and they still haven't told me what mic will fit it. They also said it came with a wireless back up camera, it didn't and the guy tried to tell me the 25 foot RCA cable was the wireless transmitter. The tech support person doesn't know what they are doing. Everything else looked right. I didn't hook it up to see if it was truly an IPS screen or the check resolution. I returned the unit because I didn't get what I paid for and don't trust them or the product now.

Radio Itself is OK. But a few missing details on the product publication are NOT OK.
I just received the INCLUDED GPS / FREE WIRELESS CAMERA combo one. The radio itself is overall OK, and I installed it myself. These are the problematic things about it:1) The screen is NOT IPS: As seen from the driver (or companion) seats, it is half grayish / whitish. You can appreciate full contrast only if seen from the front.2) The included camera has a very narrow view angle, like 80 degrees wide, which is not allowing me to see the sides. It is also very chunky, when installed, it is like this protuding big camera and night leds vision, visible from the distance. (as in "free camera")3) The wireless transmitter has a weak signal, so the resulting image gets interference -like an analog, old tv- even when installed in a compact car (as mine). (as in "free wireless transmitter")4) The wireless receiver lacks the "REVERSE SIGNAL" wire output, so the radio does not know WHEN to switch into BACKUP mode and show the camera. I had to plug it into AUX input and operate it manually. (as in "free wireless receiver")5) Regarding processor speed and graphic capabilities: I installed Google Maps. It is NOT smooth, i.e. when zooming in or out. Also when running several apps (like RADIO and Google Map app and Torque) it may slow down, even crawl at times. At one time I managed even to CRASH it. It got stuck (freezed) on me, and I had to restart the car.6) It is not a standard Android version. It seems to be a heavily limited (or fine tuned) Android for cars. Most of configuration options are gone. Also, some configuration options are password protected. The manual does NOT include the password. You can google it. It is VERY simple. With it, you can change i.e. the start up logo (I put my car's brand).7) You have Google Play Store Access, yes, but several apps are not available. Most notably: NETFLIX is not there.8) There is no BLUETOOTH option on Android's configuration menu. This may baffle you a bit, at the beggining, specially if you want to pair an OBDII bluetooth adapter. But then there is a "BLUETOOTH APP" which in one of the "phone" options includes a "scan and pair" option (a magnifying glass, as in "search").Bottom line: I paid 128 usd for this radio. For that price it was "OK". About the free wireless camera, I would recommend you to carefully consider my comments and maybe get a better camera -for a start-. Also if your car has no reverse signal wire available on the front near the radio, then you may need to purchase a third party wireless transmitter - receiver which also sends the reverse signal.

Works ok.
Our problem with this is no manual and I emailed the company. Their answer was no manual and good luck. The AM band on radio skips our most powerful radio station (50K watts) which we want for traffic reports. Show 666 and 675 but no 670. It would be nice to be able to manually key in the exact radio station, instead of the seek function. Bought a new antenna no luck. The FM band works good. Map system is excellent. Still trying to figure it all out. I would pay more to get a better one than this one if I were to buy again.

tech update for older cars, but perhaps a "touch" too sensitive
This Eincar Android 10 device (there is no model name or number) is a very decent digital car radio, and it also has a great navigation app included (iGo), but the touchscreen is very sensitive and perhaps the interface could be improved. The included wireless back-up camera (which can also be used in the front) works but only after the device boots up. The radio will also connect via Bluetooth to a smartphone, but I found the volume when listening to a caller to be low, but the radio does have a microphone included, so you don’t have to speak into your phone.This radio is basically a 7-inch 1024x600 Android touchscreen tablet attached to a car radio. Like most tablets, it needs a boot-up time when turned on, and for this device that can take 30 seconds to a minute. As mentioned, to use the rear back-up camera is problematical because the camera display is shown through a screen app, which doesn’t show up until after the device fully boots up. Furthermore, the driver has to open the app before the camera view shows on the screen. If the radio was on when the driver turned on the back-up camera, the radio goes off and does not turn on after the driver finishes the back-up and shifts to “drive.” To turn the radio back on, the driver has to go to the home screen and touch the radio app. The radio does turn on as soon as you start the car, but to control the radio, including the volume, you have to wait until after the android system boots up.There are “hard” buttons on the left edge (power, volume, navigation, volume up and down) but no knobs, so there is no tactile/mechanical indication of where the volume is set. You have to rely on your ears and the visual indicator when you touch the volume buttons. Sometimes the volume doesn’t change as quickly as you wish to the setting that you desire, so you may need multiple touches to change the volume. As for the radio interface on the screen, there are multiple places to touch to set stations, find a radio station, change equalizer (12 bands) or zone settings, and to switch bands. While driving, it may be tricky to touch the right spot with the right intensity. For instance, setting the radio presets is very easy: just find your station and then touch one of the preset on-screen buttons and the station AM or FM number shows up on the button. But just as easy as it is to set a station, it is just as easy to wipe it out. For instance, if you were listening to your FM#1 station and wanted to listen to FM#2, if you touch the FM#2 button too long (by, apparently, a few nanoseconds), it changes that preset to the station you are currently listening to, which would be FM#1. So now you would have two buttons preset to FM#1. So if you want to change a station, just give the button a quick touch without lingering on the button. There should be a longer touch time if a user wanted to change the preset, or perhaps the device could ask a confirmation question if the user intended to change a preset.The iGo navigation is great (the included GPS antenna has to be installed with the radio) and includes voice warnings in the settings if you exceed the posted speed limit. However, when I drove to a new development, the iGo map was not updated and showed only a blank area. Fortunately, as I said, this is an Android device, which can link to a mobile hotspot, such as on a cellphone, and you can download the latest Google map, which in my case was more up to date than the iGo map. You can also install any other Android app through the Play Store, but of course, be careful of live streaming apps which can play video. We don’t need more distractions while we drive. And you don’t want to be fussing with settings or volume or resizing a screen while driving. As with any touchscreen device, the screen will need occasional cleaning to wipe away smudges and fingerprints.

Terrible $300 to install and it's junk
The seller never responded to any messages I sent. The bluetooth and wifi will not connect,most of the time. It is the worst part about this radio. You want your bluetooth and wifi to work and it doesn't in key times.
