Interesting. The girlfriend keeps saying she wants a new radio, I think I can probably talk her into one of these since I use torque pretty religiously.

Any updates on the latest versions with Nougat? I'm seeing a lot of the units now are claiming a fast-boot for 2 second boot times. Something like an extended sleep mode. Curious if anyone else has one.

@EnergyCC do you have xp with alpine stereos? Would you recommend them?
Sorry for being off topic.

I'm looking for a good stereo and my vote will be on the Alpine.

Now I was trying to gather as much info as possible but most review blogs are junk.
I mean they are hyping and when I've checked out some actual customer reviews the
difference is huge.

Along with my journey in review land I came across a different site. It seems to be the real deal. I mean it harshly criticizes the flaws that each brand has. This has put me on the fence.For example there's a review about Alpine w650 HU. I was eyeing this headunit.

How bad is that slow startup? Does it take 20s to boot up? What about the value for the money?

Any insights are highly appreciated
