My phone mirroring Inception pic. I left my work phone in the house so I couldn't take a better pic at the time.
The screen does go to landscape mode when using apps that can be displayed in landscape. Works as it should.

I'll say this about BeatSonic, their product quality looks really good. I stopped by their shop before the Safe At Home orders. If BeatSonic had a new display unit I'd have been all over that too. I really want their front face camera, that might be a future mod especially if I get a lip.
Watching their install for the mirroring and CarPlay function is plug and play but looks far more complicated.

I like value, so looking at my options I'd go with the Android unit. I went in expecting 1280x480 resolution and Android 7. To be honest, I've never had an Android so I don't know the difference. If I had purchase without any knowledge of these advertising, I'd have been pissed. So far the reward has outweighed the risk for me.

Oh I completely agree with you there. I priced it out, about how much it would cost with install and without. The Android display unit offers so much more.

I will say I got my 4x4Shop one super cheap because I was one of the very first to buy one from them for the 3IS. On top of that they gave me the dongle free. I also have never really owned an Android product. I use this screen exclusively with Apple CarPlay. I never use it for anything else tbh. If Lexus had put in a 10" screen and Apple CarPlay from the factory, the car would have been for me PERFECT interior wise. Alas, this wasn't the case so I had to find my own solution which was this haha.

it’s been advertised as 9. The settings show 9 but when you download the CPU check it tells you it’s 7. Sellers have admitted that it’s 7 and use 9 for advertising.
I don’t know if anyone has received a legit 9
edit: I say this based of Alibaba or AliExpress sellers. I’m not sure about 4x4

for what i need, i'm not taking my risks on some alibaba who knows what you're actually getting in terms of the unit's specifications..nah. that's okay for those who want to go that route, even if ordering from 4x4. if i lived by the 4x4 headquarter like i live by the beat-sonic headquarters, then i'd be able to go over there and see what's up. but i don't and i've purchased from beat sonic before and the quality of their product was extremely high -- it was the front-facing camera, which came in packaging indicating a manufacturing location of japan. i'm not sure if the mirroring kit is made in japan, but i have no qualms about the quality of the products that they sell.

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.
