You can use the USB OBD2 adapters natively on anything with Honeycomb and up. So those head units with Android 4.0 will run Torque. The problem with those, is that they are dual boot systems with Windows CE. There isn't a full native 4.0 head unit yet.

Thanks for the link. Just order a knock off cause this review has me really wanting Android in my car.

Thanks for posting all this up cause when it comes to HU for driods I have no clue whats out there.

Any issues with video playing or dialing while driving? No by pass needed?

Sorry if the question had been answered before

All you need to do is ground the brake lead.

I've posted a few times about my experience with that exact knockoff throughout the thread. If you can deal without having Torque and a capacitive touch screen, the knockoffs are fine.

This knockoff supposedly has a capacitive touch screen.

Wondering if anyone tried it yet.

Ugh. Me too. This feels like such a gamble because we know the resistive touch unit can be rooted for sure. I hope this can as well.

Yeah, though my concern is that this unit doesn't have exactly the same hardware driving it, that would make it incompatible with the rooted update.
