Thanks. I am very interested getting one Just couple more questions? Does the screen dim when headlights on? Would you able to manually adjust the day and night brightness independently like stock system? Where did you mount the android unit, since stock system already filled up the under screen space.
Yes the screen dims and functions like stock. Brightness is manually adjustable for both the android OS and the stock unit. The android unit is within the screen itself, you just remove the stock unit, detach the screen from the box and attach the new android screen to it. Nothing under the dash otherwise needs to be changed.

Here come my other questions. Haha.
1. Would you be able to use stock USB ports on the android unit?
2. How does android unit AA compare to the stock system? Better widescreen supports without stretching?
3. When running the stock interface without filling up the whole screen, can you have another app on the right instead of the Mazda logo?
3. Any delay switching to the backup camera when you are on the android interface?

These should clean up my confusion. Thanks again!

1. No the android unit doesn't see the inputs from the stock USB ports, only when on the stock unit's screen will you be able to utilize them
2. Yeah the android unit's screen uses the aspect ratio correctly and doesn't stretch.
3. No, not to my knowledge. I suppose there could be a way, but nothing I've found.
4. No delay at all, you have to just make sure you have the settings in the android unit to use the factory back up camera because it allows you to also plug in an aftermarket one if you choose.
