Eincar 7 inch Android 5.1 Car stereo 5 Stars from me.
Eincar 7 inch Android 5.1 Car stereo has worked great with no faults or glitches. Great sound and the screen is of decent quality. Only that did bother me was the mic level is low so you need to talk at a raised level. For the price you can't go wrong.Follow up....After 8 months the unit turns off once it gets warm and wont come back on till it cools down so it is unusable.It is such a shame because when it worked it was great. Looking at the warranty I think it would have to be sent back to china to be repaired and I would be responsible for shipping. As it has only lasted 8 months then my advise would be to look elsewhere.

EinCar Android Head Unit
I spent ages reseaching and looking at reviews before purchasing this head unit. It's really difficult finding decent and unbiased information, so hopefully potential buyers will find this review helpful.This is a review of the EinCar Android 5.1.1 double din head unit I bought recently. It's specs include: Android 5.1.1 OS, 1gb Ram, 16gb Rom, Quad-Core CPU, built in WiFi, Bluetooth, 7 inch Screen with 1024x600 resolution, 2 SD Card slots at front, 2 USB ports at the back. It has 3 physical buttons (Home, Back and GPS) and a knob for on/off and volume. It was supplied by Superseller2016 and fulfilled by Amazon.The wire harness does not come with an ISO connector attached, I soldered one on, not a big deal but unnecessary hassle.It comes with iGo navigation preinstalled, the maps seem out of date (2014) it's now 2017. The Google Play Store works fine, so you can install any apps you want. Google Maps works ok as well. Although HERE WeGo Maps won't install, apparently "not compatible with the device".I fitted the GPS receiver under the plastic part of my dashboard and it does not interfere with reception, the GPS receiver is getting a good strong signal and gets a fix pretty quickly.The radio works well, it has RDS and reception is good. The music player is also ok. You can listen to the radio or music player at the same time as using any navigation software. Volume of radio/music player is automatically turned down when navigation speaks. Only problem is you can't skip tracks or skip to the next saved radio station if you are using navigation software as there are no physical buttons for Next or Previous.Access to some of the settings require passwords:for "Settings/Developer" the password is 7890for "Settings/General/Extra Settings" the password is 123456This information is not in the user manual.The user manual does not contain any important information for this particular model, instead it covers irrelevant things like a basic guide to using the Android OS. But more importantly the manual is for a different model, ie the one that has a DVD player built in. The remote control is almost useless, it appears to be designed for a model with a DVD player.One major problem though, and a major issue for me is the customer support from EinCar is non existent. Their website has no customer support, no help pages, and their forum is empty, if you try to post a query it returns an error. I also found emailing their customer care email address is useless, they offer no technical support at all.When I asked how to perform a factory reset using the physical buttons just in case the head unit freezes or does to boot they just refer you back to the retailer. How would the retailer know this?They don't seem to appreciate it's their responsibility as the manufacturer to provide technical support not the retailer. Other manufacturers of very similar Chinese head units, I wont mention names, provide good customer support, just look online.It's important to emphasise the factory reset question is a valid one, after all this is an Android device, and having this knowledge could prove useful especially after the warranty period.Although I am happy with the unit, I will not think twice about returning it if there are any problems, even though some problems might be fixable, but if the manufacturer is unable to provide the necessary support then it's their loss.Overall, however, I'm impressed, the specs are high and it works as you would expect. The build quality of the head unit seems good and the OS is stable, it does everything smoothly, it is fast and there is no lag as you use it. Would I buy another one? I would buy one with a similar spec, but only from a manufacturer that offers good product support.
