Like these features:
1. Free life time maps updates (130USD garmin had free lifetime upgrades) Mercedes wants to charge 280USD everytime..!
2. Carplay (Devices is optional?) did not get that, need to buy plug-ins?
3. DVR(device is optional) need to buy plugin and extra hardware? OR I can use my front facing camera for video recording? how about 360 recording?
4. Have TV option, so, Video in motion will be activated?

I’d check this one out first. It’s a few hundred more, but seems to be a much better unit with a larger screen.

here is my installation of the bigger screen @huewish is talking about. It’s a 10.25” Android screen.

I love the larger screen. Are you running google maps or Waze for navigation? I’ve figured out that I can use my iPad mini data plan for unlimited tethering, so I’m definitely buying one of these. I know there’s a guy everyone recommends buying from, but I’m curious if you bought it from him or elsewhere.

I love mine too. Anyone who sees it is blown away. I’m running google maps on it while tethered to my unlimited phone data plan. If I’m at work at lunch or break I can go to my car and watch YouTube videos using office WiFi lol. I did buy it from that same guy, but the customer service was not great. There is a topic dedicated just to this screen on the forum. Everyone else who owns one is very helpful. I also posted a detailed tutorial on there to pay it forward.

I haven’t customized mine yet with apps since I haven’t had time, but oh can delete google maps and add Waze, etc. I did add Spotify using the included Google Play store. This way I haven’t access to the desktop version of Spotify while in my car.

WOW, amazing install but probably way beyond my needs for a weekend car, but I can always dream, thanks for sharing!
