Let Me See Your Android Head Unit

Please show me pictures of your Android Head Unit.
I'm trying to decide on which android head unit I want to go with, whether vertical or the adjustment factor. so many to choose from. I'm looking at 8 Core 4GB ram unit. On my 02 X I had an older Xtrons unit but that was about 3 or 4 years ago.
I know some will ask the question why android instead of the other brand name units. The short answer is that I can customize it the way I want without the brand limitations. The android Unit in my opinion is more flexible and universal and being able to do more with the unit. YouTube, streaming (can Stream With any app in the play store), changing and updating the UI, can connect TMPS system, GPS without proprietary attachments and extra cost, and more...

I use a Dragon Touch K10, got it used for $50. Bluetooth to my radio and has all my music but can do anything that an android can do. I run Here Wego app for nav which lets you download state maps so no need for data.

Have 512gb micro SD card.

Xtrons makes the best ones i have found, used 3 of them so far in 3 separate vehicles, They offer them in Quad Core, and Qcta Core CPU versions, and with 2 GB, 4 GB RAM, and up to 32 GB SSD, with SD Card addon support on most models, but I actually just added a 512 GB SSD via a USB Adapter to mine.

This one fits the computer portion into the double din slot, and the screen is attached to the front and fits a 10 inch screen without blocking A/C vents or controls almost like it was built to use on the Excursion.

This is the 10 inch version like you see in my pictures, just the newer version since mine is almost a year old, they doubled the SSD to 64 GB.

I even added an SDR module and a LTE modem to mine so it has full time data, and the SDR allows it to tune into Police Radio and Military, so it becomes a full range scanner, not using data or internet streams, the SDR allows the head unit itself to scan all those frequencies no data required, you just need to lookup the frequencies for your state(s), and write them down, i printed mine out and put them in a binder i keep in the truck. The newer version comes with the LTE modem now I believe, i bought mine separately.

In 2018 I went with a 7" in-dash Android unit that required minor trimming behind the visible dash area. It came with a backup camera and the wiring to work with the steering wheel controls.

I went with a similar ATOTO unit. There's a huge thread about installing them over in the 7.3 forum.
