" ... The functions are amazing (even keeps most of the SWC) and the speed of the OS is phenomenal. ... The touch and app launch is very responsive, up to par with the smart phones of about two years ago (much better than my 2014 Toyota Camry’s that seemed about as advanced as a Nokia from 2001). ... With the large storage size, offline apps are a must, Pandora, google maps, YouTube, Netflix, etc all offer the option and function seamlessly on the head unit. ... Also, with the unit being android, if you need, the APK installer makes installing/managing the apps a breeze. ... "
