    So I am looking to upgrade my stock HU (assume its the Entune) that is in my 2013 DCSB Sport definitely not the JBL unit. With that being said I am looking/researching and trying to understand. I have seen those with the Joying, Dasaita, and recently the PX6 all seem pretty comparable with the major differences being memory. I don't see a whole lot of information on the PX6 at all which concerns me and will probably keep me from that unit.
    I am also not against getting a name brand HU either if the price is right the only thing with the name brand is the screen size for what I want to spend is roughly 6.8" where the Joying and Dasaita are 8". One feature that I do want and is a requirement is Android Auto. I would also prefer for it to be wireless and not wired.
    I believe it will not take much as far as audio quality to be better than the factory unit. I am not an audiophile so to speak just as long as it sounds good and performs better than stock. The main things I want is the ability to run navigation without having to have an annoying phone mount. As well as the ODB information that I see a lot of you running to your screens as well.
    Thanks for any feed back

    I'm in the same boat as you. I know I want better sound, and wireless convenience. I think until I can figure out which HU to get, I'm going to pull the trigger on the OEM+ system for a more immediate remedy. I have a GROM BT unit wired into the factory radio right now. I pulled it out of my old Sequoia. I can at least stream from my phone to the radio, and take calls. It's a decent stopgap measure for now.

    You might want to check out the NEX series from Pioneer. They can be pricey, but the 9xxx series has wireless Android Auto, and integrates with a Maestro unit so you can see OBD/ECM/TPG infomation.
