    Only had mine a short while before I replaced the car but found the one I had in my facelift excellent. The only downside was the DAB wasn't the best. It lost connection quite a bit. That may have been to my area though but I never had any issues with stock DAB before installing the android unit. The one I had was really fast. It was an octacore rather than quad core. It might be worth looking for one with octacore as the later android versions use a bit more power. You should be able to find one for around the same price now.

          Looking at the description it looks to be a PX3 Rockchip 3188 2Gb Ram / 16Gb flash unit. They're not the fastest unit in the world but work well.


          I've got the same unit (just different fascia) in my Facelift Insignia, it works with all the steering wheel controls & also displays the aircon status etc
