Hi lyn forumer,

through my web research + visit over 8 audio accessories shop, i found out current trend is using android HU 10"..
and their design (internal system and external display) more or less has the same character across the brand.

so, my question is:

Any of you currently using android HU player ? How was your experience after using it for 1-2 years?
Any recommendation / advice for others that going to install / looking for android player head unit?

thanks in advance for reading

example:

up

down?! lol


maybe you want to give some background on your preference and your intend to use Android based HU?

Sound quality no matter how still proper HU (pioneer, kenwood, alpine, jvc etc) wins, but their OS is big let down vs android

Is like those days cpu era, built in realtek vs dedicated creative/asus soundcard..

done many, user interface all more or less

some 2xx some 8xx

if u follow us on fb will see we do sell a few range

if ask what diff , spec wise more or less same the usual bt, dual usb 1 + 16 n etc

come test and u will understand

i am using one for almost 2 years now.
get min 2gb of ram.
if u plan to install alot of apps and keep alot of movie then get 32gb

i just use for spotify, waze and sometimes youtube

perfect for my usage.

sound quality is Ok but not outstanding.

i added amp and it just get better

ok done install

so far everything is good and functioning as expected.

brand: skynavi
ram: 4gb
rom: 64gb
android: 8.1 (i can't find android 9 with 4gb ram)

I'm still using my original Head Unit.
Android HU connect to my original HU via aux.
Sound quality from android is good and perform well. didn't expect for that

looks good...any modification of the dashboard, to mount it?

Good choice going with 4GBRam

How much and the size of it?

I don't think the sound quality has anything to do with your Android HU since it's your stock HU that process and play the music... depend on your Android unit DAC, you might get even better sound quality if you stream the music via bluetooth. Best if your stock HU accept USB connection and your Android unit has USB output.
I'm interested to see how you mount and connect them, mind to show a picture or two?

From the above replies, HU with 1gb ram is the least desirable specs ya?

I know its android, and the last thing I want is having lags during driving

it is 10" android player

RM1150 for player only. I've added few items:
- Casing for my car model
- reverse camera
- front camera
- switcher (to switch camera front & back)

total is rm1600

Yah i know i'm using stock HU for sound.

Android HU got DSP which is giving me more option to tweak on bass and treble in detail.

yes, at least choose 2gb ram.

i wanna ask, should i get android HU or HU with android auto? seems like android HU is much cheaper nowadays..

Since this topic on android HU, can i ask a related question?

How do i cast/connect my phone to HU? My unit most of the time hard to get GPS signal because "cold start" parking in basement.
So thought can cast from phone easier.

What app can i use? Using android phone btw.

android auto has limited functionality. if you ok with that, you can go with branded HU like alpine / JVC / pioneer.

meanwhile Android HU = tablet android. you can do everything with this HU. surf internet, watch youtube, stream tv, facebooking, etc.

Which HU are you using now?
my GPS works fine. once open accessories mode, click navigation and the map is ready to use.
or maybe i'm staying in landed area

I'm using Easy connection app (downloaded from Google play).
