This. He is the #1 person to go to about android units on the forums for sure @2forme

Thanks guys! Already ordered and bought and received the unit! Can't wait to get the head unit installed! (I'm just waiting on the side covers from BeatSonic)

If the HKS unit uses bluetooth, you're going to be disappointed. Ca-Fi and other head units limit bluetooth usage to just phone connections.

Yea. Sorry bud. If you ordered the Ca-Fi, I would refuse the head unit shipment, so that you don't have to pay return shipping.

I will be testing out a dual core head unit that runs android ICS in the coming weeks. I am hoping that it might be more open. Bonus is that you don't need a dash kit to install it. It's 200mm.

Where did you order from?

stevo_12v 01-18-2013 10:43 AM

No wait.. I didn't order the Ca-Fi.. I Ordered the Adayo unit

Same thing. Bluetooth is limited. What was the reasoning behind ordering the Adayo?

stevo_12v 01-18-2013 10:49 AM

1) Use the CarScope android app with the HKS OB-Link.
2) View footage from my BlackVue dash cams with the Android App
3) Possibly use the rear facing BlackVue dash cam as a reversing camera too.
4) Better headunit than stock, faster. Better GPS.

But mainly the first two reasons are the ones I ordered the Adayo

There are Ca-Fi knockoffs on eBay that have capacitive touch screens and Sygic navigation for like 450$. I have a resistive touch screen one in my other car.

But sorry I didn't catch this thread in time. :(

No probs.. But has anyone actually tested the Adayo AN6B01 with the HKS OB-Link? Just wondering.

No, but I know I tried to connect an OBD2 bluetooth adapter. There is no bluetooth settings other than in the bluetooth app for phones. I even tried downloading a third party bluetooth manager, doesn't let you turn it on.

stevo_12v 01-18-2013 11:16 AM

Hmmm OK. Well I guess I'll be the first one too then.. I do hope it works however.
