First of all. I allready use torque and a obd2 adapter, but my old car dont give much information via this port.
(99 suburban)
Is there any gauges that can comunicate with my android head unit? Like turbo boost, exhaust temperature, transmition etc....
Would be nice to get this jnfo in my head unit, instead of extra gauges .

This unit is the same as pumpkin RQ0255 unit. There is more information available from their support page and is directly applicable to the Naviskauto unit you have.
I installed this unit with a Metra dash kit into a 2003 G35 Sedan with Steering wheel controls (kit required) / the stock Bose amplifier (audio interface kit required) / and reverse Cam. All the functions you want are available. I assume you want to connect iphone/ipad via bluetooth , it works but the bluetooth interface for music isn't great , and maybe a 3rd party app is available. There is an "IPOD" USB connection through a 30pin connector. (Overall, music quality is very good but not as good has name brand head units for USB/Bluetooth/Radio. ) I use an Iphone 4 as an Ipod over USB, but you should be able to use a lightning convertor cable and use newer iphones/ipods. The music interface is better on USB but still falls short if you're looking for iphone/ipad useability. You can connect the head unit to a wireless hotspot on iphone/ipad or any device with this function. You can also connect via USB to a 3G dongle but the supported devices are limited, (more reading for you.)
GPS works great and the iGo Navi app provided is really good and does not require an online connection. You may need to do some more reading to get maps / poi functioning to your needs depending on your location.
It's my first android head unit install and it was flawless for me. I invested lots of time reading to extract experience from this board and others I am generally familiar with car sound systems, electronics, soldering so I was just a matter of understanding the wiring interfaces for this unit, which are standard.
I'm a newbie on Android , so I'm not experimenting with ROMs yet but there is a ton of info on what is possible with mods and replacement apps for various functions.
so, bottom line, I give the unit a 8/10 overall, but the value for money from Amazon I give it 9/10.

Thank you for your information.You're more experienced than me as I can tell. According to the review,it seems a good choice.I will look at more and make a "experienced" choice,I think.thanks again,man.:good:
Hi all,
I know this isn't a car forum, but car forums usually aren't android forums
I'm entering the world of Android HUs, after spending the last 5 years in the world of android media units.
Recently bought an Eonon GA453B - let me know if you want system info etc.
Only seems to run when I bypass the CANBUS connector for power.
Steering wheel controls work, and the HU picks up doors open, battery voltage etc.
But I need to connect two wires together that bypass the CANBUS and therefore the HU to powered on ALL the time, draining the battery over a few days.
I can even walk past my car, and my phone connects to its Bluetooth.
I have a VW passat r36 (b6), and the OEM headunit works fine.
Any ideas?.
Thanks a lot.
So I bought an aftermarket Android head unit for my car.
I wanted to connect OBD diagnostics apps for vehicle status info, but I had no luck.
I am completely new to this and obviously clueless, but from what gathered online I need an OBD adapter (wireless or bluetooth) to connect the head unit with the cars ECU. That would make sense if the head unit didn't already come with an inbuilt '' Car Info'' app that somehow accurately displays engine rpms, battery voltage, residual oil, mileage, etc.
Is the head unit somehow already connected to the OBD port or am I completely missing something?
The headunit offer you the possibility to read OBD information, but from where ? If nothing read the car information, your radio read nothing.
So, go and spend 10$ for an wifi or bluetooth OBD device, attack it to the car socket, open your BT or WIFI on headunit, do the connection 8PASSWORD 0000 OR 1234) and after that open the app to read the car information.

If your head unit comes with a can bus box then it will supply a (limited) amount of engine data.
Of which if the many types of head unit do you own and how/what was connected
Minus 10 points for posting a meaningless model number

Hi there!
It sounds like you're having some trouble connecting your aftermarket Android head unit to an OBD diagnostics app for vehicle status info. From what you've gathered online, you need an OBD adapter, either wireless or bluetooth, to connect the head unit to the car's ECU.
However, you mentioned that your head unit already has an inbuilt "Car Info" app that accurately displays engine RPMs, battery voltage, residual oil, mileage, etc. This raises the question of whether the head unit is already connected to the OBD port, or if you're missing something.
As someone who has built a Custom Raspberry Pi Car Computer, I can tell you that it's possible for an aftermarket head unit to have an OBD connection built-in, but it's not always the case. It's also possible that the "Car Info" app is displaying information obtained through other means, such as the car's internal sensors or third-party APIs.
If you're still not sure, you could try contacting the manufacturer of your head unit and asking them directly. They may be able to provide more information on how the "Car Info" app is obtaining its data, and whether or not it's connected to the OBD port.
In the meantime, if you're interested in building your own car computer, I came across this helpful guide that you might find useful: https://www.autopi.io/blog/build-a-raspberry-pi-touch-screen-car-computer/. It includes step-by-step instructions on how to build a custom car computer using a Raspberry Pi and a touch screen display. Good luck!
what can one do with an unused head unit? I have a joying 10-inch head unit I am not using anymore as I got a new car that has everything I could want. I was trying to see if I can find a driver board and just use the screen for something, but not coming up with any results.
If you had a 12V power supply, I don't see why you couldn't use it in a number of different applications.
So, i have installed a few android head units for personal use and all my cars had nav and i needed to run the 6m extension cable to the trunk. i have now found a head unit that apparently can read the amp but the Chinese seller doesn't know to explain.
the ad reads
"note: Our canbus can read the fiber amplifier in the back trunk,you don`t need to buy the long cable again, only need to buy the long radio antenna"

this is all very new to me ... anyone know anything about this ? any idea if it would work out of the box with DSP ?
