Android powered double din units

Hi All,

I was browsing eBay because I'd like to update my head unit soon. I was stunned by how many super cheap ($150ish) Android-powered double din units there were.

They seemed pretty good with a fair bit of memory and 1080p screen. What are these units actually like? Surely you can't go wrong at $150 for a unit with as much as these have. I'd only be worried about hardware failure I think.

Check this guy out;

I'd also be worried about startup time and whether the head unit would just resume from where you left it (ie, still tuned in to the same station). I'd hate to have to select my music every time I got in the car.

What's the general consensus with these?

800x480 screen - just supports 1080p video. Probably quite slow.

It can only handle 32GB SD card, so most likely slow as shit. *edit* android 4, so old lol.

No CPU listed, no pre-out voltage listed, you get what you pay for I suppose.

Yeah true. 

Good thing I didn't buy one.

So, the cheap ones are shit.  I think that's a given.

Beyond that, what are people using?  What have people got that they could recommend?  I want to replace the headunit in my Pulsar, pref with one with Android mirroring.
