I bought the unit for $385 off amazon, it came with almost everything needed for installation, only extra tool needed was a screwdriver.
Installation took me a few hours, but somebody who knows what they are doing could have done it in less than an hour. The unit itself is a good fit, the bottom sticks out a little since there's nothing holding it in. The trim on the left side doesn't fit well, but I suspect that I simply bent it during installation. This model has a built in wifi antenna and mic, so there is no need to remove and wire up to the A pillar like with the older ones, but you still can. The GPS module sits on top on this unit inside and seems to work fine. I will update with mic quality later on since I'm going with the integrated one.
The unit runs Android 8.0 and works well with my iphone 6s. The boot time is very fast (few seconds) and has issues opening apps. Sound quality seems to be the same as the stock radio, but I haven't gotten a chance to test the built in apps. Bluetooth is lacking in sound quality, but that's to be expected with any Bluetooth connection.
Update: I mostly use spotify and google maps with the unit and they work fine except for one thing. The hotspot on my phone has a hard time connecting to the unit and will sometimes drop the signal altogether untill I turn it on and off on my phone. This is annoying, but when It works it does so with any issues.
The seller is sending me a free back-up camera which i'm going to be installing over the weekend and will update accordingly.
Update: Installed the back-up camera, and it took much longer than I expected. Most of DIYs tell you how to removed everything, but none of them tell you how to put things back. Running the wire from inside to trunk up to the camera was by far the most difficult, but some WD-40 did the trick.
The camera itself doesn't stick out too much and isn't too noticeable especially with a black license plate. The quality is ok, there is some shuttering like an old CCTV but it works fine enough to help me tell how far I am from objects. The camera is slightly off since its mounted on the right or left, and there seems to be to way to correct for that in the settings.
Overall I would recommend this unit for to the functionality it provides as well as the face-lift it gives the car. Similar units like xtrons seems to be Eonon knock-offs and provide similar products, but from what I've read can have slightly less durability.
