I think this is it, off Alliexpress...

It is and it isn’t. 4x4 Shop apparently get their own with different specs and changed the software a bit. The specs on 4x4’s is actuallly better by 1 GB ram and I think double the storage.

This is perfect for me!
Going to order very soon!
Got a non-nav car and want just a Android based infotainment system.

Hmmm, might wait a little to see if these will get a Android 8.0 update.
Going to email them to get an eta.
The ones for my Camry already have 8.0 with the newer Octa-core cpu.

Hmmm interesting. I might buy the one from 4x4 shop with Apple CarPlay seems the easiest and it’s a touch screen which is cool.

data sheet: https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%2...MX49004NQ1.pdf http://www.jae.com/z-en/pdf/MB-0252-1E_MX49.pdf
plug: https://www.digikey.jp/product-detai...707-ND/4813976

just need to find the PN for the straight cable version.

why is it listed as USB??

edit: NM.. it's not it.. sucks!

Isn’t Alli Express pretty similar to Amazon? It’s basically the Chinese version of Amazon and it comes with a bunch of protections etc too from what I’ve read. I’ve never used it though.

This is a great Finding. Maybe SpecOne can order this and make it work with the other end and the cable?
