hi all,tuan,dai kor, dailou,

need your advice on the head unit.

cx5 - 2014 model.
-installed iroad i7 recorder, front and back, still working, need to manually turn on and off
-reverse camera koyak (suspected wash car then masuk air kaput)
ori head unit recently main problem unable to connect to bluetooth, need to off on engine again juz to connect to bluetooth again.

so i am thinking to upgrade the headunit , mainly for spotify & waze, + a reverse camera ; if budget allow then i would go for 360 camera too but i have no idea how much it cost for a new headunit + reverse camera / new headunit + 360 camera.

i quoted from fb some said 1k some said 2k including all, i would prefer a longlasting 1 so maybe i can get some advice here from the proz. TQVM in advance.

I am looking for android player that can support car play. My car is Kia k3 2014. My current Kia HU just Kabut. Need to look for another replacement. Please recommend

am i able to use original reverse cam if i changed to android HU?

my car is city gm6.

I believe so

yes but the quality of video will be very bad. its just like watching a vhs video on a 4k tv

Hi guys. Been reading up on installing Android Auto HU on my Myvi 3rd Gen. But am curious how do we confirm if installing the HU will cause any issue to my stock reverse camera ya?

ah. i totally forgotten about this. i just bought one with 2K display summore i guess i need to find a new reverse camera now

most AHD cameras can output max 720p. there are some capable of pushing 1080p but then receiving unit must be able to receive this highbandwith. anyhow you don't need super sharp and clear reverse camera. you need those with wider angle and capable of projecting image in low light without the IR led's support. IR LED reverse cam will blind the camera due to low quality wide lens diffracting the light source into the camera sensor

so i installed my 7862s with 2K screen (2000x1200) yesterday. it is an brandless version of M6 Pro Plus.

original reverse cam works. the only drawback is the fisheye become "wider". i can even see my own plate number, and the upper vision is kinda blocked by the body of the car.

since it is 2K screen, most of the apps UI looks terribly optimized and out of proportion. buttons, icons, text, sidebars, etc. most of them become so small.

i tried maps (google), the map become too zoomed out. this fark up things up when there are multiple turns in such short distance, TOTALLY CANT SEE THE TURNS ON THE MAP. need to zoom in manually, but then it wont lock to my moving car. also the junction view is small too.

i tried looking around to adjust the display setting (both in app and player settings), but there is nothing. even the "factory settings" for the player is kinda limited.

so.. if you guys thinking of getting a 2K screen, u might want to rethink again.

again, this is OEM brandless player. u might want to get a branded one for better software supports.

sigh.

You might want check at the Admin Configuration menu (forgot the actual name, need to relook at my HU), you would need the 4 digit pin code to access.

already checked. there is no such setting.

i googled, and found that other peoples are experiencing the same problem with their 2K android player



either
- the apps developers update their app layouts to support 2K
- the brand releases a firmware update to address this issue (since mine is brandless, FML)
- or i need to tweak down the resolution by myself (which defeat the purpose of buying 2K screen)

IMO, until 2K become a mainstream resolution for car android player, avoid it at all costs. unless u dont mind this one problem.

UPDATE:
car link works great. it seems like it doesnt have issue with the resolution. gmaps displayed properly. but you need to reconnect everytime you minimize/switch to other app, which is a hassle and major turn off.

UPDATE 2:
i found the culprit for the gmap UI problem. the default home screen has a gmap widget. i just simply remove the gmap widget, and voilaaaa. the UI become much much better, like in phone & tablet. other app like youtube and play store still have small UI.

Plagues most 2k players. They can optimize their own apps to work well on 2k screens but not on other apps. the work around is either you edit the config file to lower the screen resolution manually, or enter developer options to lower the width dimension. other noteable options if i can recall clearly are 3rd party apps which can optimize all apps to enlarge the screens. but then again it requires rooting. TBH after a while you will get used to small icons. My personal opinion? i would choose a nicer screen over a small buttons, because at longer drive, the sharper screens are gentle to eyes without much focus issue.

Hi bosses, any alternatives for Teyes cc3? Welcome any recommendations, bosses.

Apple carplay and android auto are must feature.
