Android GPS head unit

[Ilovemyprii]

Hi, new here and would really like to upgrade the audio head unit on my Prius.

Has anyone updated theirs?

What do you think of this one on eBay? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Capacitive-8-Android-4-0-Car-Auto-Radio-DVD-Player-GPS-Toyota-Prius-2009-2012-/281300574566?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item417ed22166&_uhb=1

Or is there something else you would recommend?

Thanks!

Hate to say this, but that Prius unit above wouldn't fit a RIght Hand Drive (e.g. UK, Japan, Australia) model (Looks really nice though!). The dash panel on a RHD & LHD Prius is angled differently (More info here: http://priuschat.com/threads/in-dash-navigation-for-right-hand-drive-prius.90622/ )

There are RHD -specific Prius units, but they run WinCE6 (Checked ebay & Aliexpress before writing this post.).

Your best bet is to get a Wide Toyota (200mm) 2DIN panel (Either a replica, or Toyota Genuine item.) & get a Toyota general type headunit. Found a couple of decent ones on ebay (Some are half WinCE6, half Android, some are 100% Android.) and loads of those on Aliexpress

Thanks for your reply. For some reason the link you have goes to page not found. I had a look on aliexpress and this one advertises it's an android head unit for right hand drive, do you think it would work? I'd prefer android over win ce6. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Android-4-0-Car-DVD-Player-for-Toyota-Prius-Right-Driving-2009-2013-with-GPS-Navigation/1048646985.html

Thanks for the heads up. The end bracket interfered with the url. Just fixed it, all good now.

The head unit above looks good, if you don't mind it being a Dual OS unit (Powers up with WinCE, Android OS accessed through a menu icon.)
