It seems that if the unit supports the SPP bluetooth profile you could pair it to the headunit and it just might work.

Has anyone tried or considered this option already? Here's a link to one of the devices I'm talking about if you're not familiar:

Amazon.com: Mini iMito MX1 Android 4.1 Jenny Bean Google TV Box HD IPTV Player PC Rockchip RK3066 1G DDR3 1.6Ghz Cortex A9 Dual Core CPU Bluetooth Built In Aluminium for Heat Dissipation(Brown): Electronics

I tried with an MK808, but ARLiberator didn't always auto sync with the head unit. At that point you're dead in the water without a wireless kb/ms.
