Personally am moving toward a Windows 8.1 or MacOS device that stays with me and in my cars just have a "preamp" with aux in and Bluetooth plus a mike for HFP.
That way if I just want simple stuff, I can just link to my phone which has satnav, engine diagnostics, web, and about 1500 songs. For more complicated (I have trouble with small keyboards), can connect to a Tablet in a dock. Many choices.
When you have several cars, you think portable.
I think the same way, I have all my music on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I have bluetooth headphones, DLNA for my home stereo and then a plug in speaker at work. The M1 has screen mirroring so I can have Torque or google maps show up on a larger screen.

I'm pretty happy with this company's customer service. Being in Guam I expect 3-8 weeks for anything to show up and I have to pick it up at the post office which is only open for a very small window 9am-3pm so they don't open until I'm already at work and close before I get off. With Eonon they ship through FedEx and the stereo was at my door in 3 days. I wasn't home so the FedEx guy actually called me and asked if there was somewhere he could leave the stereo or if he could meet me somewhere to hand it to me.
To answer your question the G1311 is a fold out so yes I would have to drop the screen to change the controls which is a little tedious and when my wife drives the car she never puts the screen back up which is partially annoying.
