I put a lot of time into looking into radios. I narrowed it down to either the S100 or one other android based unit. They sound great on paper, but watching install and functionality videos on youtube showed their weaknesses. They boot up slow and response is sketchy. If the processer and RAM were bumped up on the units, I think they would be great. At the end of the day, I ended up spending more on a RA4.

I bought the s100 off of a guy on here. He had it advertised as "Brand New", but it wasn't. So buyer beware of some people on here. But I emailed radio-upgrade.com and gave him my system info and he said I just need to update the firmware which takes 15 minutes to do and you can get the update from roadnav.com for free. So I'm currently in the process of doing that. Everything works on it just fine. Radio, DVD player, GPS. The only thing that won't work is my steering wheel controls, but I added those myself so that may be why they don't work now. I get a box that pops up and says "Application Error. A Serious Error Has Occurred and the System Must Shut Down" so it kicks me to the main menu, but nothing shuts down. I like it so far. Just gotta get the firmware done and it'll be fine. Finace HATES it though cause its not the one she likes....so I MAY end up posting it for sale after I do the update on it IF she'll do what she said, which is pay half for a new/"better" one in her words. Don't know what is out there that is better with all this and isn't $1k...

Have you considered upgrading to an OEM Radio ? Its been all thought out and accomplished by many 2013+ trucks to upgrade to the RA4 8.4 Hands free Bluetooth , multiple camera capable ie back cam , up cargo cam , front cam & automatic turn signal cams , weather , SXM , am /FM , CD and navigation , touch screen hvac controls and even phone mirroring with a connected smart phone and you can watch movies and more all on an 8.4" screen ...
Anyways not sure if you wer aware , so check out this thread if you haven't already .
Hope this helps you sir .
