If you want to check the Android version - check the API level. It's harder to cheat and edit. Now I have to return the unit to China. I bought Android 9.0 - real Android 6.0! So not every unit = Android 7
Completely different than the description advertisement (no 1920x720, split screen..)
I also think there is no Android 9 version on the market.

Hey guys. Regarding android version etc....It doesn't matter where you order this unit from and it doesn't matter what android version will be written in system info and CPU-Z. Actual android version is Android 7.1!! Such units with real android 9 do not exist....There are only 2 types of this radio and both of them come with real android 7.1 with the only difference - masking level...First type (sold by 4x4shop) has much better masked Android 7, so that you will even see Android 9 through apps like CPU-Z.....Android version of another type of this unit is not so deeply masked - you will see Android 9 in system info, but you will see android 7 through CPU-Z...
Of course you can continue to beleive that you have real android 9, because CPU-Z app can't be cheated and so on. IT can be easily! And this is what was actually done. And I am 100% sure in what I am saying. If you don't believe - just ask any android software engineer to check real android version of your radio (showing android 9 in CPU-z) and you will be very surprized![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
So as for Android version both types of this unit are absolutely same.
As for resolution - in my oppinion this is the last thing you should care about, because you will not see any differences on screen of such size between 1920*720 and 1280*480 resolutions....it is more about marketing.
Big difference between 2 types of this unit is CPU they use: first type (selling by 4x4shop) uses MediaTek CPU, second type (like one selling on Amazon and like one is shown in previous post of gamma113) uses Samsung CPU....Both CPU's have +/- same parameters, but which CPU manufacturer you trust more in terms of stability etc - should be you sole decition.
Hope this post will help you![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I'm angling with the seller for a partial refund for a product that doesn't match the description. If they say no, I'll see what my credit card company can do for me. I'll let the seller know I'll file a charge back if some sort of restitution isn't provided.

As for android 9 - it is 100000% info. Even 4x4 unit is very good masked Android 7....But to be fair, Android 9 doesn't have significant improvements comparing with Android 7, especially if we are talking about car radio where regular person uses just couple of apps and features.....I don't understand why android 9 is an obsession for so many people here
It is just car radio...online navigation, YouTube, Pandora and may be couple more apps is all needed there....

My unit shows android 9.0 on the cpu app. This unit is well worth the money and looks very oem in my car. If you don't want to use the android features you can use all the standard functions but on a huge screen and apple carplay and android auto included.
I am using mine with the Headunit Reloaded app so I dont even have my phone connected using a USB. Its connected with WiFi and works great. Added benefit is that I can use the kn0b controller with android auto and also can use it with most apps so it feels like oem.

Of course i would. I'm just not the most handy person out there LOL. And since you've installed it on your car, you would know how to do it too unlike a shop where they probably have never touched this thing in their life. I'm pretty serious on my offer too. When this damn virus is over if you really are down to help, I'll pay to have you help me install.

Update: Navihua offered me a fair solution to the 1280x480 instead of 1920x720 and Android 7 over 9 advertising. I am satisfied and appreciate the customer support I received.
