I was in the market for something like this, but was always disappointed by
lack of feature X (HD Radio) or Y (MKV support), then realized my existing
Alpine HU covered feature X and my Pixel XL could handle feature Y and was
already great with navigation.

That said, I'm glad to hear someone actually got one of these wired up,
validating my early idea.
