I wonder how much, if any, trouble it is to get the mapping right on an Android HU. |

It would be like any other aftermarket stereo. You have to adjust the sound settings to get the sound reproduction you are looking for. The difference is that aftermarket stereos have more adjustability.

Yeah, I realize that any after market stereo will require fine-tuning to get it sounding good. My question was more "how easy/hard are these Android units to dial in".

I can tell you one thing, though. It was a HELL of a lot easier than on the Kenwood Excelon unit I had in the car for a couple weeks. That thing was a pain in the ass to navigate around. I don't think I've ever gotten THAT angry at a head unit before. But I digress. |

Is it possible to hook these head units up to a GPS enabled Dash Cam? It doesn't make sense to have multiple GPS antennas in a vehicle and it would be sweet to have the two work in unison.

Just wondering, what about the GOPRO android app, that allows you to see what you're recording and start-stop the camera?
It works estabilishing its own wifi network and the phone connect to it, much like the hotspot function of a normal phone. |
