Liquidation! Unfortunately those units are hardware specific and so is most of the software that plugs in them. Hard'er to re-use. Doesn't make them bad, just a proprietary design type. Vendors are at a stage where they made so much money that cost is not an issue anymore - they desperately needs the latest hardware to be able to survive their game. If this unit wouldn't have sold at $15 it would simply have ended in the seller's bn anyway. So everybody is happy at the end!

Good business; the units that sells online today for $300~400 are roughly $25~30 in parts in the street markets of Shenzhen. Cool toys for sure.

So cool that I have to own one myself. Not using those parts though. DIY, scalable, part-time, so fun

Care to share with the rest of the class, Fred? I’m enough of a gadget nerd that I’d be willing to try to throw something together, too.

Nope. TOP SECRET stuff sorry. I would never share with anyone how to DIY a Infotainment for Porsche Cars, ever never dever I'd do that.

Half way there already tough... can't wait to show off the beast when its ready to install and being self managed

Great idea for the DIY section one day! Hang on... you do visit the DIY section of 986forum right? Cool stuff going on there too

Well I can't wait to see it. I wish the pre-fab Android units could get their act together on bluetooth call quality. The ROM I'm running on my head unit now is great and the MP3 player app I use is also great. Sound quality is acceptable, though it's probably my speakers that are the weak link there.
