If a supplier can come up with a pre-rooted one or opened up one that can communicate with both an OBD2 and HKS OB-LINK with no work to root it (ie: plug and play) they would have a huge market. Car and Audio forums from all over the world have been having the same discussions we have been having. @2forme, you could take delivery, root them, test them and onsell for US$150 more! You'd sell them from the USA to New Zealand and every country above and in between (not much below us!). .

Actually heard back from the seller on the last one I posted - apparently he's the manufacturer and it's running 2.2.
Side note - I have a message in to Variscite (an embedded solutions developer) on getting one of their "development" kits with a capacitive touchscreen and support for Android ICS. This should be an interesting integration project. |

The problem with all of the Android Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3) HUs is going to be supporting multiple Bluetooth devices at a time or using something like Torque with USB. Torque Pro USB is compatible with Android Honeycomb (3.1) and above - hence the problem. The Variscite-based unit will be completely custom. They can provide the system board, processor, and capacitive screen, but it'll be up to me (or someone) to build an enclosure and figure out how to get the ISO wiring up and running....and who knows what else. I'm constantly researching how this is all going to work - so it's going to be quite a project. I think @2forme is talking to some manufacturers as well, so he may have a similar idea in the works. |

When I am using Torque or carscope I will be on the track so if I can only have one bluetooth "thing" going at once then that will work for me. Have you got a link to the Variscite option? You've probably already posted it but we've all discussed so many units I'm not sure which one you mean. Thanks mate .

Woah, that looks beyond me @cmarks20!
I've asked these guys you suggested if it will communicate with an ELM327 or HKS OB-LINK or is rooted http://www.ebay.com/itm/In-dash-Head...044367&vxp=mtr And for good measure I have asked these guys that @krikke suggested http://www.xtrons.com/GPS-car-dvd.Html

I believe he originally ordered this because of its 200mm fitment, then wanted the 21A, but they had already shipped this.
I hope the root works and that it has a capacitive screen. Would be nice to see a factory fitted unit. |
