7' viable?
 

Hi guys,

I'm planning on getting one of those ebay 7" 4.0 android head units for my car so I have navigation and torque. Anyone know if 7" will fit easily without any plastic trimming or anything? ThNks guys

The OEM headunit is 7" I checked. Was gonna go iPad mini but too wide. So make sure u check ur witdch too it u want it flush

I was hoping someone was trying to fit a 7 foot diagonal screen into their car.

I am disappoint.

Check with @2forme, but from what i remember most of the android 4.0 head units are garbage as they're run under a layer of windows CE which causes all kinds of quirks/issues. I'm sure he can point you in the direction of a good android head unit.

Which 7" headunit on ebay are you talking about?

Not sure how necessary having Android running on the actual headunit is to you, but if you'd like your head unit to mirror your Android (or iPhone) to be mirrored to your head unit, using the touchscreen of your headunit to control your phone, take a look at Pioneer's AVH line. The AVH-X5500BHS has a 6.95" screen and might do what you're looking for.

My budget is around 400

Once you get it in, please review it; as I am looking to replace the headunit with something smarter.

will do :)

Yes the 7" screens will work. A friend has the AVH-X5500BHS and it fits. You will just need the harness and whichever dash kit you prefer since the Double Din stock unit is wider than aftermarket ones.

Have you installed the android head unit yet?

nope. something came up and i lost all my budget for it. i got hit n run on my rear bumper and right the next day, i got into a collision case (other party at fault) so thats 600 into the deductibles.

Sorry to hear that.

its ok haha. insurance covered most of it so i guess thats not all bad. ill probably get it after i get my exhaust system this month so i'll keep you updated! :)

Have you tried looking at this?
