I'm really not sure. The unit i have uses the parts of the original head unit attached to the android unit for original UI and system controls.

Looking to get a new head unit and want it to be compatible with my Note II. What are the best available on the market now? I know about AppRadio, but not much about any of the others. Thanks for any suggestions.

If you're looking for a head unit with Android built into in there are quite a few listed in the Generic Android Head Unit. A few other name brands head units with Android are; Parrot Asteroid Smart, Clarion AX1 and Kenwood DNN990HD. Other than that there are a bunch of head units without Android which use MirrorLink, DriveLink or some proprietary form thereof. So, it depends exactly how you want it to be compatible with Note II
Okay the title may say it all but I am looking to get myself an Android Double Din car stereo.
I currently have a 6.2" Clarion and the screen size is adequate and it is very usable and I love the radio but I would prefer to have an Android stereo, possibly with a larger display.
I haven't made a decision yet and I'm extremely interested to hear from all of you to see what type of Android car stereo you are using and why you think it's the best one.
Ideally the stereo I would like to buy would have a 7" screen that is either detachable(and doubles as a tablet) or motorized with full DVD capabilities. I'm not super picky about the screen size. DVD/CD is not a real requirement but would be nice to have.
I do not care if it can be rooted but root would definitely be a plus.
The newer the Android OS loaded onto the stereo the better as long as it's stable and everything works as you'd expect.
I've already done a bit of research on these stereos and was leaning towards the XTRONS TD729A or this OUKU Stereo found on eBay but I know there's hundreds of different stereos out there and what better place to get advice on Android Tech than XDA?
Also saw the Newsmy NU3001 Android 4.4 Double Din car stereo. No DVD or detachable panel like I'd like but it does seem like a nice stereo. Opinions?

I think that radio looks nice but there's no way that would fit in my dashboard. I had to modify my dashboard to fit a double din stereo to begin with. The way my current stereo is installed it sits flush in my dashboard. It almost looks factory. See the photo attached below.
I'm looking to recreate that "almost factory" look again but this time I'd really like an Android stereo. That stereo you linked to would require extreme modification to my already modified dashboard.

And yes these stereos to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and with the correct accessories, 3G as well.
If the stereo has Google apps installed and is connected to the internet, it will sync most information with your phone.

This Sony stereo is not an actual Android car stereo. It's a double din Xperia phone mount that replaces your radio and puts your Xperia phone in it's place. As far as I can tell anyway.
I'm really starting to think that this one might be a winner.

Certainly the unit I posted before wins on specs, but this one is more good-looking, for sure... it seems nice. I can't understand why you said that the device with the tablet wouldn't fit in your car but this one would... both of them are 7", right?

The tablet unit you posted before has a much larger bezel around the screen. that bezel makes it too large to fit in my dashboard. Might not be the same for everyone but if you look at the photo of my current setup that I posted up above, you'd see what I mean.

Wow I like that one. Especially with its high screen definition and very late android version !
I'm currently looking at such radio and that one is for the moment the best I ever saw, and not the more expensive !

The only thing I can see about that stereo that kind of makes me keep looking at others is the fact that in the item description there's no mention of the stereo having Google Play. Maybe it's been figured out in the xda thread I linked to in that post but without Google Play what's the point in an Android device?
EDIT-- Even though the website selling the unit does not expressly say that Google Play is pre-installed to the device, there are hundreds of posts in the xda thread that mention "install this from Google Play" or "install that" or "I installed this from Google Play"
I'm assuming that considering it is pre-rooted out of the box that you can either install Google Apps from recovery or that the apps are pre-installed.
Here's that same radio only it has 2gb of RAM.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-2-Din-Uni...05&prg=11353&rk=2&rkt=6&sd=271673297957&rt=nc
I confirm Google play is installed.
I just check one video on YouTube and I see the icon installed
And checking randomly in the xda post related, I see discussion about "where do Google play and Google play music install their files after downloading "
So definitely yes

Yeah I really think I like that unit. My only gripe with it is the lack of DVD capabilities which truthfully isn't an issue because it's been confirmed that you can plug in a portable hard drive and use that for movies and music just fine.
That and the damn price tag. For the model with 1gb ram you're looking at about $400 and the model with 2gb ram is over $500.

Here is a link to a quadcore SOM board
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...L-KLD-RM-GS-JY-YZ-BN/1657211_32608448711.html
I bought my head unit from this seller. Had good communication with him, reliable seller.
I have RK3188 SoM 16GB in stock
IN USA I can ship you one for 85$ plus shipping
Hi ! thanks for your inputs
Did you notice a real difference between the dual core and the quadcore?
Thanks !
Is this compatible with KYD model?
I have the KD-c1908 from Pumpkin audio and they have been upgrading this unit.
the RK 3188.
They quoted me 70$ us shipped to me in canada from china for the board and 100 for the front higher resolution panel (complete minus som)
Now the question is do I do the display upgrade as well
I have noticed twice the speed when using google earth and I can simultaneously install several apps much faster than with the 3066. Not much of a benchmark I know but I would say it was worth the investment in the quad SOM.

Sorry Joying does not have a head unit like that and the motherboard is different.
you can show me the actual LCD and I will check if I have it but so far not very Joying like,

The lcd is hidden under that, I haven't disassembled it any further than that yet.
There are 3 connections coming from the lcd/digitizer. In that picture there is: 1 two wire white plug for the backlight on the left. One small ribbon on the top for the digitizer and one long one on the top right for the lcd itself.
Do you have a picture of yours that would be similar ?

It is not too hard to open,
anyway from what I can see I dont know if I can help, you can ship your head unit or just the front so I can try to fix it but no guarantee as I have only worked on Joying.

Hi,
I'm looking for a place to buy the RK3188 SoM to upgrade my JY RK3066 headunit.
I saw the link to aliexpress on the first post but they are asking $120 (!) for something that I see others got for $70 shipped.
Any place to order it for a decent price?
thanks

No, it needs to run ON a phone or connected to a headunit that's designed for it.
It's not going to work on one of these units very well because the phone calls / messages / etc aren't handled by Android like they are on an Android phone.

non-MTC* MCU units like that don't use the same style SOM, so you can't remove it and swap into a MTC* unit.
