finally, did something myself. have android tablet for music, google navi and andoid torque, and clarion headunit for quality sound. amp install coming soon... motorola xoom 8.2 android ics tablet indash with clarion headunit ( in the wrong place!). i wouldnt reccomend this as diy, but im happy. would have been alot easier with a 7 inch samsung!!

if you use your phone as a wifi hotspot (or use 3g usb dongle) the Android head unit could run google maps with real time traffic status. igo seems a popular navi software (some include it) maybe good a wise backup for driving without phone reception. You could also pay for tomtom software. i dont think any units have capacitive screens though, the stylus is a resistive screen give-a-way. But sound quality is the biggest issue for me, unless i can hear someone else's installed unit, i not cant risk the purchase. RASWO - do you mean the sound quality is bad through the RCA preouts and amplifier OR just the headunit's amp straight to the speakers? Also which model did you buy? the three/four/five button (on each side) model? 7 inch or 8 inch screen?

Hey All, Newbie 101, forgive me if i posted in the wrong place. Has anyone had any experience with the aftermarket aurion/camry indash sat navs units that look OEM? I found old posts but nothing keeping it update? Theres a couple of different models on ebay, all have dvd slot, usb and usually two SD slots and DVB digital tv receivers. - cheap $300-400 7inch models with horrible GUI's and unknown gps software running on Windows CE 6 approx 500-600MHz CPUs, these seem to have three buttons on each side. Some units claim to run as dual-boot devices into Android, i think 2.1-2.3. - An ozzy seller selling a 8inch with five buttons on each side (like OEM?), running "custom flash", but the unit, i think, has the best silver/grey finish - And the one im really interested in, 8inch apparently 1GHz cpu, 1G ram, running android 4 ICS $650 but no DVB receiver. How cool would that be with a bluetooth OBD scanner and Android Torque! Proper custom electronic dashboard - Thats GTR trickery!! Whilst im on AV, anyone had a good experience with digital TV tuners and antenna? years ago i had cardcredit sized transparent antenna for back window (with small booster) that had amazing digital reception, cant find them anywhere now.
