Random question for y'all. I'm considering buying the newest Xtrons unit (pb7846bp). Would there be any reason to possibly wait and see if they come out with an update in the next few months or just go ahead and get this unit while it's only $300 on Amazon. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

I have the newest Eonon unit, it’s identical to the xtrons. I really don’t know what else they can improve on, only issue I have with it is connecting to my iPhone’s hotspot but that an issue with iPhones. I could see more storage and possibly higher resolution but idk. Keep in mind you should expect these units to last no more than two years, they could but they’ve been known to fail prematurely. If you buy the current one I don’t think you will be disappointed.

It’s like any electronic, you don’t expect an iPhone to last more than two without degrading. With these especially it’s easier to buy a new one for 300 bucks than go through the effort of trying to fix it. Nobody really knows how long these will last since nobody’s passed the two year mark yet, but if older units are an indication I’d give them anywhere from 2-3years.

And that, my friend, is why I’m perfectly content with my magnetic phone mount and aux cable.

Add a Bluetooth receiver to the aux and your set.
