I need a new head unit. Mine does the boot loop shuffle and bluetooth can't keep a connection for long. Double Din. Do not need disc player but good audio is a must with android but it seems that's an instant $600+ price tag and aftermarket radios are not built to the same spec. Already replaced the speakers so its imbalanced because that unit is so weak, and I have been kicking this around for too long now.

I'm always pondering mine, but I never prioritize it. I may have mentioned a while back that I have a pair of 90s-era Fosgate amps in the basement that haven't been installed in anything. But I'm not going to put them in without speakers and a head unit to go with them.

I put this in my truck a few months ago. Very happy with it.

Supports FLAC. You son of a bitch. I'm in. Thank You. I put a price watch on a Pioneer AVIC-W8500NEX, but that thing hasn't come down in price and gave up.
I almost got the 8500. The only difference between the two is the integrated nav in the 8500. The 4500 works seamlessly with my phone’s nav. You can buy a Garmin with the savings and use it in a different car, which sold me on the 4500.

It's a solid unit. Almost every review has it in either 1st or 2nd place. I've had one in my cart for a while. I'll pull the trigger here soon.
