I was just thinking the same thing. It's no longer listed on their website...

This one looks interesting.

It's only 2GB of RAM but 8-core.

Any updates for the preorder people?

Nothing yet...
At this point I think I'm going to just buy the cheaper unit and ask for my Avin deposit back.

Android 6.0 and you can use a 3G/4G dongle instead of relying on mobile hotspot. I dig.

Guess what I just got in email.
Day late, dollar short, I guess. I would have loved all the extra physical buttons for those functions, but the specs are still underwhelming compared to the head unit I just bought. I'll surely be asking for my deposit back.

When I asked for my deposit back on this, several months ago. they promised to honor the discounted price should I order when it was released. I think this was a hundred dollar savings.

Yes, there is a discount. However, the hardware specs are exactly the same as the Xtrons unit I just purchased for $350, which is almost half the price of the Avin unit.

I can see some differences between the Avin and others, but they appear to be minor. The buttons, being long and thin (that's what she said), remind me of the Seicane units, but this one has a lot more functions fit onto the same amount of buttons, such as dedicated settings and microphone. The mounting also seems higher quality, more like an OE unit. It looks like it also has Apple CarPlay capability. Honestly, all of these minor changes don't make it worth that extra few hundred dollars to me, personally.

For this long wait and price point, I was expecting Nougat, with an even higher resolution screen and 3-4GB RAM. The resolution based on the pics actually looks like the LOWER resolution that I hated on my old unit!

I'm glad I made the move on the Xtrons unit.
