Advice for Head Unit - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Yoda · 02-21-2017, 04:51 PM

Hello fam,

Looking for an android head unit that can fit a 2013 BRZ. The features I am looking for are Bluetooth, web browsing that can also play flash if I wanted to stream a video and allows me to download apps from the google play store. Oh and it should be able to connect up to the speakers. I am a noob in this area so any help is appreciated.

I did the Newsmy NU3001 and then Installed the XDA-Developers Carpad OS
https://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._CarPad&ajax=0

Far better OS than what comes with the Chinese units

You'll need the Double DIN mounting brackets for that unit:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K52CY2/

Or you can get this one, which would fit perfectly without any additional mounting kits. This one is only a 6.2" as opposed to a 7" screen:

Great, thanks for the info! I like the cleaner look of the 7" screen - I'm just hoping with the brackets you linked there won't be any gaps etc around the unit.

Yea, I have the 7" one myself, the same 135N2 you linked. There shouldn't be any gaps with the brackets I linked, as long as you don't have the 2016 or 2017 BRZ.
