Having seem those Android units in action in cars, though not admittedly an Omega, I would seriously think twice about getting one.  Ignoring their often lacklustre security, they suffer exactly the same navigational issues as phones used as satnavs.

In an Omega, the screen is in a poor location for using, to the point of being dangerous. And the steering wheel adapters are often non existent or troublesome.

Certainly pays to buy established brands rather than knock offs of chinese knock offs from a support point of view.  ;)

That can* help with the security aspect, but not the other inherent flaws.


Though many established brands just rebadge shite from ching chong chinaland, and thus have no control over security.

I just stick a Garmin on the screen on the rare occasions I don't know the way  ;D
the Garmin is then in the best position so no looking down, up-dated with the latest maps  too  ;D
my original radio gram was fully functional but my music is digital ,i don't own any Bakelite 33 rpm records 
plus the bucket avoidance rear camera is very useful, I've not reversed over a single bucket since i fitted it  :P
