It appears as though it's the same, but I will be sure to let everyone know once it gets here. I hope it's before my trip on Saturday.

Just out of curiosity, are you doing all this privately or are you backed by a business of some kind? Seems like you switch out your HU every month or so.

Privately. I returned the Adayo because it wouldn't play FM while navigating. I returned the Ca-Fi because it broke. I returned the ICS one because it had issues with dual zone and the WinCE interface sucked. I returned the App Radio because it was just a proof of concept and it had issues with the HDMI port.

I've had the Ca-Fi knock off for a couple months. I will swap it back to my other car once this comes in.

Obviously, I can't wait to hear all of your impressions on this new unit. What's its "name" or description or the name of the ebay store? Because, once again, I can't use the link so I'd like to search for the ebay.ca counterpart.

Here is a link to the capacitive one.

2For, got a question for you that just popped in my head. On the backup camera interfaces on these units can you adjust the positioning in the software at all? For example, the factory mounting location for the backup camera is off center to the driver side. The factory head units all compensate for this to my understanding. Is that adjustable at all in the software on the Android based units?

No idea, I don't have a backup cam.

Can't wait to hear your review of the capacitive knockoff. Can this one hook up to odb2? Can we get torque going?

Bummer. False advertising as well.

Can this navigation software be updated with European maps? Can it use some alternative maps (e.g. Navteq)?

Or, even better, can I install other Android navigation apps (e.g. iGo) on the device?

Yes, Sygic has European maps, but you may need to buy them. And you can install iGo as well.

I'd be assassinated because I'd ban corporate lobbying, stop spending, and cut political positions by more than half. Too many people not doing their job in Washington and getting paid wayyy too much for it.
