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

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

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.

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).

If i'm not mistaken, joying is not available in malaysian market / car accessories in kl as from my observation

Easy connection is a ready apps in my HU.
which android version are you using now? is it 8.1?
if not in the apps list, try download it via google play in your HU.
then install on mobile phone.

not all android phone are supported. some models need to use wired connection



It does have wifi connection to connect from your mobile hotspot.

yah.. all the features i've mentioned previously is more to gimmick / selling point.
I'm not fall into that gimmick
but when I tried branded HU such as JVC and pioneer, i can see the lag-iness when scrolling / play around . which made me feel confuse because their price is higher than android HU, but their version is older (android 6 and below) and not smooth.

I've got the same feeling as you about sound quality before install this android HU. but my unit come with DSP and i can tweak EQ even more from original HU.
some android HU didn't have DSP , therefore you have limited range to adjust your EQ.

Ya i never use it while driving.
only open the media when i'm waiting someone / carwash / watching sunset

I think this is one of my shortlisted HU before install.
sadly they don't have 4gb Ram 64gb Rom.
thus need to go to android 8.1.. haish.. i prefer android 9 bcoz the interface is nice looking


i've bought skynavi gold series

1) yes, it's called easyconnection. same features as android auto. you can connect it via cable / bluetooth
2) you can play spotify at the background while opening waze app. or you can make it as dual screen / split screen (only available with high end android).
3) Yup, there is on screen keyboard at the player
4) I'm using YES 4G dongle as my wifi connection to my android HU. you can use your phone as a hotspot.


not scary lol..
- I've locked my apps
- they did not have time to do that

if u did not prefer onscreen keyboard, then share screen will be more practical for you then
share screen is a no no for me since it will drain my handphone battery and potential for screen burn in a long run

I think It is possible to connect but must be tapping the wire though.

my android HU is connected to original car HU (means that i have 2 HU in the car).
so, any sound from the android HU will go through via original HU then to the speaker.
