[Parappa]

I placed the GPS sensor in the little slot behind the passenger faux carbon panel that pops right off. Overall the fitment is quite nice. I used 3M double sided tape to hold it down.

Here is the final pic of the installation.

The HU by factory default comes with a floating white android home button. This can be removed in the factory settings (password is 126) Also the annoying beeping sound when you turn a knob or pressing a button can be disabled as well in the settings.

One of the main things that was important to me was the ability to change music tracks with a physical button or knob, the right knob on this unit allows this. (Phew I was worried about that)

Tried the DVD player quickly, no region lock so you can play any DVD, probably never use the DVD player.

GPS works well so far.

Installed the external microphone attachment as well, made a phone call to my car with someone elses phone and it sounded decent on the other side. Not extremely loud but legible. Keep in mind I did not mount the mic properly yet, just dangling around the steering wheel.

AV input is an RCA jack (kinda old school) but the screen is so small its good enough. Attached a PSP GO with an AV out cable and a PS3 controller linked to the PSP. Allowed me to play PSONE classics, SNES emulator, any emulator that works on PSP and of course PSP games.

This HU also allows airplay, cant wait to give that a try!

The sound quality is about the same as the stock pioneer HU, could be better if I used poweramp. Give that a try later.


Only used it for 30 min....will report back when I spend more time with it. Enjoying it! Startup is under 30 sec.

One feature that is great is you can pick what manufacturer logo you want to appear on boot up. No more scion logo!

Hope this helps a bit for anyone interested in an android unit that looks quite OEM and under $400 cdn
