Been trying to find a new head unit for my Toyota Tundra. Tired of the Toyota Entune crap and was looking at Android head units.
Looking for a double din unit, with its own GPS and 3g/4g. Good Bluetooth connectivity for apps like audible, and the ability to use waze. Please share recomendations, budget is 3-400 usd. Thank you.

Maybe you guys can help me out, as I am not new to android but I am new to the idea of android head units. I've done some research but what I'm finding is somewhat limited and I have no hands on experience with any units out there.
I'm looking into purchasing a head unit for my vehicle and am wondering which unit fits my needs best. I'd like something with a 7" touch screen, ability to retain steering wheel controls, backup camera, A/V in and out, support both wifi and bluetooth, and a remote signal out for an aftermarket amplifier. I'd really like to have one with the newest OS available, which to my knowledge points me in the direction of the Ownice C500... Being able to root would definitely be a plus.
I'll continue my research but wanted to reach out here for input as well, thanks!
really leaning towards this unit:

I'm also kind of curious on real performance of these units, as I'm aware an advertised processor speed is not a tell-tale sign of how it will perform, and at this point that is just about all I have to go from.
@bill12690 What did you end up getting?
I ended up getting one of the 7" octacore X-Trons units

Octa core is great feature. Does it allow you to use steering wheel buttons? Is it 'learning type' SWC?
Also got a xtrons octacore unit and really really like it, I have a BMW so the canbus automatically sends steering wheel controls to the unit. So not sure about your specific car
Hello Everyone,
I have what is sold as a "Android GPS Navigation Box". I plan to use it with a video interface on my E61 BMW. I've tested everything and it works, but I'd like to root the device and *hopefully* find some custom roms. Here is the company website:
http://www.cardvdnavi.com/Andnroid-GPS
This is labeled as a GPS-900. They have the same unit with direct interfaces for Kenwood, JVC, and Pioneer head units.
It is a Allwiner A7 t3_p1 CPU. I'm not sure if I should be looking here in Android Head units or maybe in the tablet forum?
Any and all help is much appreciated!
Here's a copy of the manual
Nothing?
Hi can anybody recommend me head unit to fit my VW scirocco, i would like it retain all the functionality of the standard unit (RNS315) and sound good, it must be DAB capable and i would like to run google maps/waze and sometimes tomtom. I would like the unit to be fast on response times.
I don’t mind a bit of work to get the unit how I need it but would like some help to choose the right unit to start with.
Hi all
I am on the look out for ROM that will work on the PX5 head unit. Just want something really basic like you get on the Pioneer units. I installed Malaysk but I don't really like the tablet style stock android feel. I don't even want the FM radio just internet connectivity and sound. It's for a BMW E46 and one of these 9" head units
Is there such software out there?
Thanks
If you want an alpine or pioneer interface, why don't you get yourself an alpine or pioneer radio? They're surely a heck of a lot better quality.
Install Car Launcher AGAMA, don't have this "tablet" aspect
I have a Subaru Forester Limited with the Harmon Kardon audio system that came stock with the car.
I'm looking to upgrade to something that will provide Android Auto and Apple Carplay without needing to plug in the phone. I'm currently leaning towards Idoing but am open to any suggestions you all might have.
I don't have much experience when it comes tinkering with electronics or cars, so I figured one of these all one solutions would make it the easiest for me. This way I'm not going to be splicing any wires and it will all be plug and play (I hope).
I've reached out to Idoing because I'm not exactly sure which model I would even pick. These are the ones that seem to fit my vehicle, but I'm not 100% sure.

So am I looking the wrong direction? Is there a brand that I'm overlooking that would be better for me to get?
Thanks.
Ask seller to provide screenshots of Android System information, including MCU. With that you could know what is being offered and then research the forums.
You probably want a UIS7862 FYT based uint.
