Default Erisin vs Xtrons - your thoughts please

I am looking to replace my Android 8 unit with a Android 10 one. I have two in mine one made my Erisin



https://www.erisin.co.uk/erisin-es5146b-88-carplay-car-gps-stereo-android-10-bmw-3-series-e46-m3-rover-75-mg-zt-dab-bt-50-p0518.html

and the other by Xtrons



https://xtrons.co.uk/bmw-various-and...store=uk_store

They seem to both have the same front display but totally different behind. The Erisin looks a newer style with the Xtrons looking as if its use an old DVD chassis.


I realise the difference in price is because the Erisin has a lower spec in terms of CPU, but it does come with CarPlay and DAB+ included which the Xtrons is extra.

Is the Xtrons almost twice the price for extra core and RAM/ROM??

I am not sure about the Erisin but I do know that xTrons makes decent units. If price is of importance, buy the Erisiin and see if it meets your expectations. If not you can always sell it to a BMW E46 owner :mrgreen:
