Android Knockoff Headunit D.I.Y REQUEST

[2forme]

I have a knockoff that is supposedly capacitive coming in today. I hope it's better than the last one that was "capacitive" (was really resistive).

hi guys

just wondering, with the install of the head unit, did u guys have to cut off the top bezel of the head unit to put the dash trim back in? if so, what did u guys cut it with, stanley knife? im guessing the bottom bezel doesnt need to be cut?

thx!

If you have to cut, youre doing it wrong. No cutting is required

thanks trashed675,

strange, it seems to fit in almost perfectly, other than my dash surround trim piece cant pass over the front of the head unit, its like the head unit is a few mm too tall and the trim cant be inserted where it normally sits. (thereby why i thought i could just shave a few mm off the head unit to allow dash surround to pass over it)

i'll have another look at my positioning of the head unit. thanks for the reply.

(btw i mounted the head unit using the original metal mounts that were on the side of the original head unit)

Cheers
Rob

@kharn83, You have to trim off the plastic "lip" on top and bottom for it to fit correctly.

BTW, I did manage to get my hands on a capacitive Ca-Fi knockoff. I'll be rooting it tomorrow and getting Torque running on it.

Ebay? What seller?

I did buy a Parrot Asteroid though now that I know it can be rooted.

Tradesolution or something like that. The screen works very well. I'm about to head to the garage to root it

I didn't have to trim anything off mine. It its a tight fit though, and there is a certain clunk when it gets seated.

Interesting. I had to trim both my resistive and capacitive knockoffs....

If you wouldn't mind, can you share a link to the one with a capacitive screen? I may be forced to get one. Lol!

I see they make these with android 4.0 now.. I wonder if those have a capacitive screen. That would stuck me right in!

The ICS ones are dual boot systems with WinCE for radio, ipod, and FM... and only using Android for Nav. It sucks because they have a hard time blending music and nav. The one I tried could only play audio from either android or wince, never both. And now, they aren't capacitive from what I've seen.
