Anyone bought this yet and installed it? I've been trying to order it, but either the website isn't working for the pre orders or they don't accept orders from Hawaii. Its just a simple one plug installation too. Have not seen it working in a car that is actually moving though.

Thanks in advance.

do a search on Reddit, there where several but for some reason they where removed. the hate is starting to ramp up on them again so there's probably newer content on them.
personally it's not worth half of what they're charging for them(that's being extremely nice). it's pretty much a really bad Chinese tablet modded into an enclosure. most reputable shops will not install them or even upgrade an existing system that has that unit already installed.

Thank you for the reply. That's what I was afraid of, their BBB rating is a D+ and they don't respond to any phone calls, emails, instagram, etc...

Yep, I would NEVER put anything like that in my Camaro. Also as noted, this company does not fair well with the public!! Their products that I have seen are not top quality.

It seems Digital Octopus is a Florida based re-seller of the same units that can be found on AliExpress for half the price usually. And as others have stated the bad news is surfacing everywhere so probably not a good investment
