Hello guys,
I'm thinking about installing aftermarket parking sensor (front and rear), and I wanted to know if it's possible to display park assist from aftermarket parking sensor output to an Android head unit.
I have a Fiat bravo 2 (2007+) and I saw that VW cars is able to display park assist thanks to can bus interface. So I wanted to know how I can do to display park assist on an android head unit (I don't have the head unit for the moment, so if I need a specific one, it's not a problem)
PS: I saw a can bus interface for parking sensor on "connects2" web site and I don't know if I need this to solve my problem.
PS: I unable to post link because it's my first post
Thanks a lot

Background:
My 2007 Jeep Commander has the factory REC navigation system with rear seat entertainment, back up camera, and Boston Acoustics sound. The REC head unit has and had its problems, and I'm excited about the idea of an Android HU, but I have many questions.
Questions:
Since my Jeep uses CANBUS, do I need a CANBUS adapter to install an Android HU?
Can these units play movies on the OEM rear seat video screen? Also, do they support wireless headphones? (I have kids! )
Is there a way to get my OEM back up camera to work with one of these HU's?
That's a few to get started. I appreciate any help/advice/experience anyone can share on any and all of my questions. thanks.
Hi guys! I have found that roadnav managed to integrate Ford active park assist system in their unit. As far as i know the canbus that cames with the MTCB/C/D units supports the active park assist system but the problem is the headunits dont interpretate the info and dont display nothing on the display. I have a Ford focus MK3 with active park assist system and all the sensors work perfect but when i press park assist button it does not display anything.
In this post is all the info i managed to found about the development of active park assist.

Maybe someone can port it. I think i should not be difficult but i have no idea how to do it...
Hello,
I can't help here but you have a s160 with Android? Can you tell me if front PDC is working with the focus mk3? And is it possible to connect a Subwoofer? I mean the Ford Subwoofer from the Sony Premium Sound System...
Thanks!

Hello. Can someone please provide a screenshot of the park assist functions. How do the instructions "Stop. Move Car Forward, Put Into Reverse" etc show up on the head unit ?
Hello all,
I have been struggling to upgrade or at least Identify my head unit on the Chery Arrizo 6 Pro car , i know for a fact that it is android based (when editing the car name in the head unite, it shows a familiar google G-board) thought it has CarPlay, it doesn't have android auto, and the screen mirroring function are not the best.
Though i just my car this week, I found out that since i got it from a deal showroom, all its system on v1.0, it will be a while tell i go to the official dealer (long drive, you do not wanna know)
so if anyone out there who are facing or no a solution to this issue for Chery cars, just leave your good comment below.
on a side note, is there an app that can spoof the carplay to run android auto in it?
Quick adding to my thread, this is my software right now
My car is chery Arrizo 6 Pro
AKA Chery GX, or Chery Arrizo 5 plus (they all have the same head unit)

The link above is the one we bought , we didnt buy the rear camera as we thought the rear sensors would still work .
My question is this ...........is it possible to have the sensors working with the head unit at all or do we have to buy a rear camera .If we buy a rear camera do we just then get an image on the head unit but no sound from the parking sensors ? . If truth told i would sooner have the beeping from the sensors .
Bare in mind im no electrician and dont have a clue .But it is in and fitted and working on sygic satnav and i have installed DAB radio via a dongle to the cars own built in antenna not the packaged kit one that comes with the DAB usb dongle .
Im sort of bodging my way through it but the sensors look a step to far and an auto electrician is needed but i want to know if it is possible to do .
The car is a Ford Focus 1.0 petrol ecoboost 2012 reg hatch .
The sensors must have worked either through the stereo unit or the old display unit not sure which , i have connected up all the original possible connections from the car to the new ones for the android device but there is no joy so something is missing .
What does the reseller suggest when contacted for support? Has that been tried and what was the result?
Suggest consulting a reputable installer first.
