New Android Head Unit for My '06 RS
I found a great deal on an Android 6.0 factory fit head unit. This will be the 5th one of these factory fit Android units I've bought and installed in my own various vehicles.
Specs: CPU & OS: Cortex A7 Quad-Core, Pure Android 6.0 Capacitive Multi-Touch Screen,1GB DDR3, ROM 16G Screen Resolution Option: 1024*600 for 7inch&8inch&9inch&10inch 800*480 for 6.95inch&6.2inch Features 1: Steering wheel control, Subwoofer Features 2: Bulit in Bluetooth, Microphone, Mirror Link Features 3: Support the dvd player, disc, MP3 Player, USB, SD Features 4: Support Radio Tuner, RDS, FM Frequency: 87.5-108MH, AM frequency: 522-1710KHZ Features 5: Internet:Built in Wifi, support via phone as hotspot, support 3G/4G Dongle (3G/4Gdongle is option) Features 6: Built-in GPS Navigation, support online map, include free map card Menu language and Cae logo: More Than 40 Kinds Of Language and Built-in 50 Kinds Of Auto Car LOGO Optional: Digital TV, OBD, 3G/4G Dongle, External Mic, DVR, Special Cable, Parking Sensor, Camera, Canbus, Tools I'm currently online shopping for a 4-channel amp (maybe a Clarion xc1410 as I've owned two and they are an excellent budget Class D amp), four 2 or 3-way speakers (probably NVX as I've found them to be a great balance between cost and quality), tweeters and a powered subtube (I really like the MTX 8" tube and have one installed in our van. I may see what 6" powered subs are available due to space constraints. I'll be doing my own install.

No, unfortunately not. I hadn't thought about it as I normally use the units for music (PowerAmp app), Torque Pro and other apps. Your post did pique my interest though. I've been doing a little searching for universal HD Radio hardware. :)

I'm about to move on the 4-channel amp and speakers. Also, comparing the Kenwood and Pioneer micro subwoofer units for under the driver's seat. I can't spare any room in the hatch. We just arrived for a hockey tournament and between my son's gear, a couple travel bags and my laptop bag, the Yaris was filled to the ceiling.

Where did you buy it?
I'm a little skeptical about sound quality of these Android devices. I was going to get one Joying brand, which seems to be quite popular. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk |

PowerAmp app http://powerampapp.com/ One disclaimer... If one of these units fail, they are basically throw away item unless you're electronics-savvy or a willing to find an electronics repair shop willing to take a repair on. The return shipping to China would be cost prohibitive. That said, I have only had one unit fail. It was the touch screen. I still have the unit in my closet and the replacement screen - which is connected with plugs only - is about $40.00. At some point, I'll repair it and have it as a back-up unit for my Sedona. It's a Kia factory fit.

Im trying to find a cheap unit with at least 2GB of RAM though. We're switching to DAB in Greece and my Sony CDX-MP80 doesn't support it, and DAB adapters cost around the same as a headunit.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-Di...ceBeautifyAB=0 However, while waiting for my tracking number, I discovered another unit that I would actually prefer, and it's less expensive. I has no DVD which would make more sense for me as I don't used DVDs but rather MicroSD cards. Also, this unit has DAB+. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Seic...999.262.iIKV30 DISCLAIMER: I make no assurances that these units are direct plug and play, but I suspect that they are.

I'm watching the Joying brand because they are supported and seem to be well known on the net. But yes, you can find other ones much cheaper. Though, I would not only look for just the price.

Makes sense. There probably is some variation in quality but I have always gone for the cheapest factory fit radio with the features I'm looking for. I think warranty is a moot point as return shipping cost on any of these radios is probably more than buying a new one.
