No, rom is storage ram is memory.

ROM stands for read only memory.

When it comes to Android devices, ROM isn’t actually ROM. It has just become the norm to call the internal storage which is not erased when powered down as ROM.

Part of this internal storage will be read only as determined by the system.

Maybe if you want to run more demanding apps the bigger RAM & more processors will be needed, I don't know.

I ended up caving and just bought the 8 core - I'm a sucker for an upsell. Where did you get power from for the unit?

The only additional power connection is an ACC circuit, which I took from the cigarette lighter that was replaced by a USB socket.

Has anyone used one of these. I'm wondering if it fits in front of the existing head unit....

Android 8.1 Tesla Car DVD Player GPS Navigation For Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2010 2013 Car Auto Radio Stereo Player Headunit|Car Multimedia Player| - AliExpress

That's not going to be compatible nor will it fit in a D3.

Thanks Cambo. Just waiting for mine to arrive now!
I have the Harman Kardon amp, does that mean I need the super expensive Aerpro harness (CHLR9C) if I want the steering wheel controls? It seems far too expensive for the convenience.

I am considering one of these units, but a little bit concerned about delivery from aliexpress in these covid times. I would be very interested in your delivery experience. And of course your experience fitting it, difficulties, etc. Thanks to Cambo for putting us onto these.

On the positive side, I have just ordered some fabric from aliexpress and made a stuffup of my shipping address.....the seller was able to retrieve the parcel after being shipped, and re-address. Most impressed.... now to delivery time.

Hey Lee.

I'm planning on documenting my foibles and will start a new thread with lots of photos so everyone learn from / laugh at my mistakes.
The seller just hit me up for an extra $30 as I live rurally but so far I'm not too worried. I finish my degree in the next 2 months so I won't be getting bored until November.
I ordered the carplay adapter and number plater reversing camera as well.
