Android head unit upgrade

After replacing the speakers I found that the stock head unit is very underpowered. I'm thinking of replacing it with a head unit that has wireless Android auto, an equalizer, navigation, and a decent built in amp to drive the new speakers. I found this one on eBay. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these Android units.

First, I recommend you go to the site www.Crutchfield.com and do a little research.
I WOULD NOT purchase a non-brand name head unit. Specially off ebay.

Second, if you get a quality HU that supports Android Auto and Apple Car Play, you will not need NAV in the HU.

Third, you'll want to inquire about integration with the vehicle's data-bus and if you will be able to retain functionality.

Lastly, you'll find that Crutchfield will make it possible for you to obtain the proper wiring harnesses.

My experience is they have people that know what they are doing. You'll pay more, but it will be worth it in terms of product quality, warranty, and support.

 

This, plus you can checkout oem audio, either one. You want retain steering wheel controls. Also that ebay one for $229 how can that be quality for that price???...

 

There are a number of people on TW who have successfully installed Joying.

 

I'm not expecting to retain full functionality as far as vehicle option settings go but steering wheel controls and camera is still there. Plus, this unit has built in dash cam recording which is really cool. The "name brand" units I see all have outdated versions of Android or don't have wireless Android auto.

 

I saw that one on Amazon and it looks good but the one from ebay has more functionality. Just wish they would give out some specs as far as the on board amplifier goes.

 

it has more functionality now.

but for $240, it's going to be pretty terrible software integration-- whatever they could steal from someone else and force to work. it likely won't stay very current, or maybe even stay working.

a decent head unit with a decent support behind it is going to be at least $800. any 'fully featured' touch screen unit under that is going to rival one of those 'dual' headunits that are always on the shelf at autoparts stores that don't normally sell radio's, but sell generic replacements that just sort of work.

no justification to not get that ebay unit, just keep your expectations in check.
