Android player question

[JZA80]

Just checking. What are the pros and cons of ownself buying Android player and asking workshop to install ? I assume cost will be cheaper than buying from local ICE shop.

They provide warranty and aftersales support. Depends on what you want from the android player.

False economy.

Any problem installer will say player not working.

Claim warranty manufacturer will say installer spoiled it.

If going Android get high ram and memory or damn slow.

Also phone does everything Android player does and do it better.

So really need an Android player?

Or can better spent money elsewhere.

I have an Android player in my car and a normal one Din player in my van and the van player sounds so much better.

Few questions:

1. Your purpose of getting android player? [friend using, i want one too is not counted]

2. Your current drive and current head unit? [to see worth it or not worth it to get one]

3. Your budget? [min for good spec SGD$350 n above for player only. With panel is $400 and above]

High RAM and memory is useless if processor lousy. But be 3-in-1. Just like kopi packet. 😁

better off get everything from the workshop as some may have compatibility issue. At least u will be assured everything works fine and they usually will provide some form of warranty.
