Hardware Android Head Units for cars?
- Thread starter ADB100
- Start date
ive seen a few things on the net where people have installed 7" (nexus) tablets via amps and the likes.... have a google mate
There are quite a few double din chinese units around on amazon & ebay. Mostly have Android 4.2 etc..
Most will play DVD's, do sat nav, play music from various sources, bluetooth handsfree etc..
Prices start from around £150 for a 7" screen double din unit.
I suppose it's easier to fit than messing about with a tablet or large phone, and they'll do eveything the tablet would anyway.
Dunno how good the android ones are.
The mrs has an older windows CE based unit and it's pretty good, install any sat nav you want (she switches between Sygic and Igo primo) plays MP3 from various sources and also blutooth hands free, easy menu system and now you can get them from around £45 (no sat navv) or £75 (with sat nav) for a 7" double din unit.

After a bit of googling i now know what a "head unit" is and realise my post above is a bit useless. 
Anyhoo I still rate a DVD player outputting sound in 5.1 distinct channels, plus sub, and using a music DVD, made up from DTS encoded audio files, sounds much much better in my mrs car than a stereo CD souds in my car with a good stereo system with twice as many speakers.
