Aftermarket Headunits?
Any advice on Android Headunits? I fitted a cheap (~AU$100) AliExpress special to my nieces Tiguan on the weekend (fulfilling a promise I made to her when she first got her car). It has CarPlay and FM Radio and she is ecstatic. Even with the crapware, it is faster and more reliable than the factory Suzuki Bosch unit.
Now I have decided that the OEM Bosch+iPhone+iPad solution I use for XRS Connect, GaiaGPS, NewTracs and CarPlay is too messy/clunky.
Does anyone have experience with splitscreen or multitasking on the 9", 12.3" and the vertical 9.7" Android head units?
Also, what do the larger headunits look like from other angles. I am leaning towards the 9" units because the larger ones overhanging the edges of the console looks a bit naff.
FYI, I purchased a cheap (AU$150) 9” AliExpress android headunit, it included a basic harness and fascia, and I was able to source pins and plug housings to access the other analogue signals in the Bosch. (Reverse, park brake, etc).
I wasn’t happy with that is I then upgraded to a DUDU7 with 360 cameras.
The hardware is amazingly good, the software is OK, 360 cameras are a nice gimmick, but completely overkill for such a small car. I should have gone for a front and a rear camera only.
