Any recommendations for best aftermarket head units? Looking for something that's touch screen and offers bluetooth. This Dynavin N7 unit is perfect for what I'm looking for but I'm not looking to spend $700 like this one cost. I've seen similar looking units from Seican and Eonon but read some terrible reviews as far as reliability and customer service. Any recommendations/feedback would be helpful!

I’d spend the $700. I bought my first Dynavin a long time ago... the old first generation version, I want to say D99... my OE screen was pixelated, the OE tech was then 10 years old and the entire Dynavin head unit cost less than an OE screen, rebuilt or factory. So I pulled the trigger.
With the BavSound speakers and amps, it was a MASSIVE upgrade. Fast forward to CV19, the 4v preouts, EQ, CarPlay, etc, in the N7 + Jeff Bechtel’s perfect (and I really mean literally perfect) customer service in the 8 years since the first one convinced me to upgrade to the N7. Nothing else comes close if you want an OE look, in my opinion which is worth about what you paid for it (much cheaper here than in real life). I’d be tempted to bitch about having to replace the unit at all within 10 years, but top of the line Alpines in other cars lasted about the same amount of time. And I leave my car parked often with the top down, so screaming “hey look at the stereo” is even more stupidity.
At least, like those Alpine units, this was a plug and play upgrade over the old one. The amps and speakers are still the standout in this system. But the N7 plays along better than any other OE looking aftermarket unit, if you’re into sound quality. If all you want is it to play nice with your phone, then do whatever. IMO, you shouldn’t even consider a head unit upgrade until you’re doing speakers and amps.

PS. All that said, if you want to purchase my D99, still in great shape and fully functional, PM me. I can beat $300, 😂
