I sincerely doubt it.

I would like to see if I can gather as much info on this as I can.
Understand that most of the members on these forums eschew units like this in favor of a full-on PC. You're unlikely to find much information on this model on these forums, although there may be more information available on other websites.

Understand that unknown products from China at bargain-basement prices are usually worth
exactly what you pay for them.
I would expect this product to be of low build quility and made from cheap components, mostly plastic. This will cause problems witht he mechanicals, especially.
I would also expect the software and interface to have problems, causing much frustation and possibly even requring the unit to be reset or rebooted in order to function again.
I look at it this way. There are a lot of informational & review sites around that look at products like this. If this was a good quality unit that had an interface and feature set that was on par with the more expensive offerings from car audio behemoths like Alpine & Pioneer, we would have heard about it before this unit was ever publicly available.
Good luck with your purchase. I sincerely hope that you get a lot of value and long-term use form it.
Unfortunately, I don't believe you will be happy with your purchase due to the reasons I outlined above.
) to get me by until I save up the jack to either buy a higher-end unit or build a carpc seutp.
