There are a ton of these units out there for quite a few platforms.  Generally, they are known to book up slowly (even those that claim otherwise), are glitchy and don't integrate well.  For some platforms it is the best option you have, but not for this platform.

I like the OEM look, seen one of those installed on a Silverado my friend was working on. I didn’t like the buttons on the sides of the screen

It might be a good product (I have no idea), but the "about us" pic shows it as appearing to be a hold-in-the-wall industrial location (so, not big), and claims to be a subsidiary of Sintegrate, which is supposed to be a global company with sites in China, the US and Europe, but doesn't show up via a google search at all (other than on linkswell's site).

Did you go to those links?

First amazon link just goes to a page titled "SIntegrate", with 4 Linkswell branded products for sale on it, no information about SIntegrate at all/

 

The youtube channel perhaps could be for SIntegrate, but a) they are too cheap or incompetent to set up a company youtube account, they set it up as a individuals account and b) their uploads include an email to [email protected] which isn't SIntegrate, and is an expired domain.  And most of the videos are 3 years old or older.  Only 1 is a year old and nothing newer.

 

The second link is just a search for LinksWell, which comes up with the same 4 products from the first link, and I guess some other products that somehow reference LinksWell.

 

If SIntegrate is a global company, they sure have done a good job of keeping it on the down low.

 

They might have a good product, but it sure looks and sounds like they are at best fronting for a Chinese product.  I wouldn't count on, say, software updates to fix bugs or work with new versions of Android, or even clear installation instructions or a user manual.

Walt at ADC Mobile actually worked with Linkswell to design this unit for our trucks.  If you search these forums you can find some threads about it.  Here is the ADC page:

I have not installed this unit but bought other things from ADC.  They are great to work with and their support is amazing!
