Android based Headunit - Double DIN

[RYU]

Could it be? If anyone has more info on this please share.

From the demo it seems pretty well sorted. This is installed in a BMW but I saw a few vids floating around of the housing resembling a standard Double DIN.

I found dome more info here

My only issue is it's clocked at 800mhz, has 256 ram, and running 2.2. All this using a 6in screen. Unless its a barebones android system with no bloatware, it may not be as responsive as I'd like it. Wonder if there are any local store that carries it so you can at least test it out.

Would you have to have a cell phone and data plan for that?
Or can you tether to your existing phone when using it?
If it does tether, I wonder if you can use an iPhone with its wifi hotspot feature to tether to it.

i'm sure there will be various ways to connect to the phone's data plan. Tether and wifi hotspot comes to mind.

Here's an interesting Linux based solution.

Here's another demo of another Android based unit.

Rusted_nailz - I wish the specs were better on that. 800mhz and only on Froyo 2.2 I suppose.

I've been looking for an andriod device to install and I think I may get the jdm navi pod and install a galaxy tab 7. I beleive the demensions will let it fit. The tricky part is make sure it has room for the power cord and aux jack.

Plenty of info about the Dynavin here: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=895068

Thanks for the Dynavin link Russ. Lots of info on there.

I also found a WinCE based solution here

It would be interesting to see how well this works. WinCE was junk when I used it before. However, a Windows based platform may allow usage of the AEM tuning software and other data logging software such as a Windows based OBD2 scan tool.

most of the pioneer units with nav are running a modified CE build. you can use a back door to get into it. check on avic411.
