Hi fellow ozbargainers,
I am looking for a cheap yet solid Android head unit for my family car (SsangYong Stavic 2014). Initially I was eyeing on a Sony XV3000 but the resistive touch screen kind of turned me off. The XV5000 on the other hand is just too expensive for my budget car.
So I now try to explore the idea of a generic Android unit instead:
- 7 to 8" 2DIN
- Capacitive touch screen
- Relatively hassle free Reverse Camera integration
- Functional Radio (this seems to be a widespread issue with the cheaper units)
- Smooth USB based Internet tethering from Android phones
I don't have a fixed budget but if the price is getting too close to a Sony then it'd become pointless of course
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks in advance
Stick with an Australian sold brand name would be my suggestion.
The generic brands often don't live up to their performance claims and the software can often either be hacked or out of date.
They also can sometimes not be compatible with existing car wiring and looms to adapt them 100% may not be readily available from my (limited) experience.
