Maybe I'm missing something but, at a glance, I'm not sure why this is still so expensive. If anyone actually knows why and doesn't mind helping to share some insight about what qualities/features might justify this price point without Apple Carplay or Android Auto, I'm down to learn something new today.
*EDIT*: At time of posting, they have open box: 'good' units available pickup near me for $57. YMMV
Even my 73 year old Dad is using CarPlay lol
So yeah, I can't really see a use case for this unless you have a flip phone.
You'll want the 9" or 10" version, which are basically the same thing. Also get one with at least 2GB RAM.
You can customize everything about them with your own launcher, and the built-in amps are surprisingly strong. Way better than the basic 2017 Honda head unit.
Example: I step into my car and start, automatically my google maps app screen in phone is displayed on the car media screen.
I don't have to type the destination address.
Similarly, calls, chat messages , music apps are well integrated.

22w x 4 is pretty good (14w according to CTA)
I've never tried "weblink", but it appears to be a wired solution to projecting applications from your phone to the head unit.
Personally, I rather just buy a cheap tablet and mount and use "headunit reloaded"
