Hi there,
I was thinking of getting an Android Auto for my Honda Civic Vti-L 2012 Hatchback.
Did think of getting a tablet to emulate Android Auto but charging, mounting seemed a lot more work.
Any one out there already done this or have good ideas?
Cheers.
this was super helpful. I now understand the whole concept of fascia kit to look for.
Super Thanks!
This link lists a few parts, not sure if I need all the parts. Any ideas?

Thanks again
Any ideas?
Afraid not. I've been following head unit deals for a bit and just know Aerpro to be an often shared website for parts if people wanted to DIY.
I prefer the peace of mind of everything being done properly so will be getting it done professionally so I don't know enough about what harnesses or cables to get. I just know I need to keep the functions on my steering wheel and reverse camera etc.
Sorry!
Cheap Tablets don't hold up well in hot cars
Source - I tried with a Cheapo Lenovo 8" Tab3 in my Mazda. Fine in winter, overheated in summer.
Here's a deal that might be relevant:
Thanks Nalar, I might stay away from tablets and look for a head unit.
Cheers
Getting an aftermarket head unit is probably safer/better than hooking up a tablet. If you can put it in yourself then you can save on installation costs.
Check Aerpro for what cables/fascia kits you need.
Units can vary massively in cost depending on other features you want (DAB, capacitive touch screens, DVD player etc).
Repco/SCA/Autobarn sometimes have big sales (~30%) so you can do your research and wait for one of those sales to make your purchase.
I'm personally waiting for a sale on the Kenwood DDX9019DABS to be on sale to get it for my car.
