Installing a Head unit...


Recommended Posts

I've got a 7 inch touch screen Head unit and i was thinking of just selling it.

But before i do is it worth my time installing into the car?

I was also thinking about getting one of the 2013 toyota corolla head units that is touch screen but didnt want to buy another head unit.

If i install my own one will it affect the current speakers etc?

Well i'm assuming the 7" is double din slot so you can install that if your get a double din fascia but it depends if the head unit does what you need?

Is there a reason why you want to go touch screen? or you don't want to stick to standard head units?

I checked out your car and can see you have the stock head unit. You can do what i'm doing and using a Android Tablet and still keep the stock head unit you just won't be able to use the 6 stacker cd (Although the whole fascia could be made to flip up to access the 6 stacker) That is another option but your reverse camera wouldn't be used but you can use an IP cam with android for reverse but you would need to think of some way to launch the camera app when you go into reverse (Should be simple I have a few ideas)

But you really need to workout what it is you need or want in a head unit and which one is right for you but all of them besides your own 7" touch screen will cost a few hundred unless you have a spare tablet too.

How have you got the Tablet mounted so you can use it?
