Help me find a good headunit with Google Play - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Abombies · 08-28-2018, 07:27 PM

Title says it all. I have been searching for a headunit with android and could download the youtube app but can't seem to find a good one. I drive long distances up and down California and would love to have the option of having a video to watch up just so I don't get bored. Please leave suggestions below

Thanks!

Don't watch videos while driving.

I bet someone has a good minifridge recommendation so you can bring along some cold brewskies

You could also mount a little camping grill on the dash in case you get hungry.

Well hello Abombies and welcome to our forum.

That was a horrible first post -

I suggest you subscribe to siriusXM satellite radio for your long haul entertainment.

This ^
Nobody wants to eat cold avocados.

There are reasons why head units lock out video play when moving.

Wasn't there some guy in a Tesla that proved this wasn't a good idea, even with a "self driving" car?

I will just leave this here

My buddy watches movies on his headunit when road tripping to tracks... I'm not a fan of his driving habits to say the least.

Watch the road, it's a better movie.

I'll take "2Fast2Furious" ricebois over "The Young and Restless" careless drivers any day.

real life has better resolution than any head unit you'll find

NO.

Don't make me get the spray bottle...

But if you insist on driving distracted, go big or go home:

Not big enough, I want an ultrawide center screen with 2 side screens on the windshields.
