Looks like a great option for adding some modern comfort and safety without compromising stock look. Anyone tried it, any pros / cons?

If you buy it, be sure to buy the extended warranty.

You will likely need it.

I've had several Android head units and most have been pretty good.

A couple have been outright turkeys.

Edit: Looking at the specs on that one, it only has 2GB RAM.

If you plan on running more than a couple of apps at a time (navigation, CarPlay, Torque, etc) you'll want to get 4GB RAM or performance can get pokey.

If you're just planning on running CarPlay/Android Auto it will probably be fine.

That said, there are several others of the same type on Amazon with much better reviews.

What he said…I’ve been happy with this the past 18mo. Backup camera, no cutting the dash bezel, and physical volume knob, and their customer support does pretty good chinglish email support.

Stock fit? CarPlay? Actual volume knob? It's checking my boxes, even if I have to buy a replacement every time it gets wet, overheats, or otherwise fails prematurely...

Yes, I agree. Stock Mopar radio are the best looking and quality built but unfortunately times have changed and google maps and inbound / outbound calling on the fly can’t be avoided anymore.

In my part of the world if I get caught playing with phone while driving then god might forgive me cops certainly won’t 😀.
