Hi, got some questions to ask on HU:

1) Im planning to get a 7862 with teyes ui mod, 3+32 GB, is the specs sufficient for me to just use it for Google Maps/Waze with Spotify and 360 camera?
3GB good for couple years

2) Im planning to get teyes mod as Im checking on their youtube and it seems nice. Is teyes mod a must for the "ui upgrade" or should i stick with the original UI or go for apps like VIVID launcher etc.
many want TEYES UI since original TEYES player is expensive

3)Im checking on taobao as well and found out there are 7862 listings with the same specs (without teyes mod and 360 camera) are selling for around RM 400+, anyone had experience on this?
bought android player lazada RM700 back in 2021, shipped from China, so far no problem

4)Is installing a a new mod on a HU safe to do? or is it as same as formatting an android phone with custom ROM etc.
youtube got many videos flash firmware and custom ROM for car android player

My personal take, stick to your stable firmware. teyes mod is kinda hit and miss. Not all units will work flawlessly. This is based on some users feedback.

2) Im planning to get teyes mod as Im checking on their youtube and it seems nice. Is teyes mod a must for the "ui upgrade" or should i stick with the original UI or go for apps like VIVID launcher etc.
If you run a teyes mod (real original) chances are there are alot of 3rd party hardwares like elm327 may not work as teyes only allows its own hardware to work well.

3)Im checking on taobao as well and found out there are 7862 listings with the same specs (without teyes mod and 360 camera) are selling for around RM 400+, anyone had experience on this?
If you purchase from taobao you have to consider the unit comes without warranty. Hit & miss but good to gamble if you know what you're doing as the cost is more than half of market rate.

4)Is installing a a new mod on a HU safe to do? or is it as same as formatting an android phone with custom ROM etc.
no point running custom rom tbh. the fancy interface will fade over time. practicality and stability are the 2 main criteria you need to choose a headunit appart being fast.

Really appreciate the replies and dms that help to answer my questions, it helps a lot.

1 more question on the installation cost, what will be the optimal price range to install android player + 360 camera?
I have asked some and they give me a range or 500-600 which I'm quite surprised, is it considered the normal price ?
it's to install on City GM6.

For 360 cameras, the installation will take time which will include drilling and calibration.

The whole installation can easily take up to 8 man-hour.
The installation price is reasonable.

i have a question about Headunit Reloaded app

from what i can gather, installing the app on any tablet/android device, and subsequently connecting to an android phone, I would be able to use android auto?
so for example my car currently has an android head unit from 4 years+ ago, with 2gb RAM but doesnt have AA/CP support - using this headunit reloaded app I will be able to use AA on the car?

asking first because since it's a paid app on playstore.. thanks

I am using Head Unit Reloaded (paid). And yes, it works by just pluggin in your android phone to your head unit. Also HUR has a demo version that you can test out before paying for the full one

I got a Teyes CC2 Plus about 2 months ago on a VW Golf. Before that I had a Dynavin which died on me after 5 years. Poor after sales service but the Dynavin had very good GPS and mic handsfree (Parrot), sound quality really top notch

I didnt want to opt for the CC3 at RM2.3k, went for CC2 Plus good enough. Slower UI, Waze reboots intermittently but resolution is good. Radio also decent
