Has anyone tried this head unit yet in their car? I have the BeSpoke one in my 2015 from the dealer and it's a piece of crap as far as nav and voice. Seems like a good option to upgrade to though for a cheaper price than BeSpoke as well.

Android auto is a feature of a head unit, not a head unit of its own right.

What Chimera said. Look at the new Pioneer NEX head units, they have Android Auto.

i had a Nexus 7 running an app that simulates Android Auto (damn close to the actual thing)

im really interested in the new Android Auto headunits, but not worth the Price tag IMO

Just got a survey from Scion that included Android Auto (along with Apple Play). Based on the survey it would appear they are considering it in the future but as a $400 option. I said not thanks to that part of the survey.

I was looking at this bad boy, but I think it may be overkill. Although, some reviews have said that the pioneer nav on this unit is better than google maps...

Also, it looks like you can buy this thing from Walmart for $400 cheaper if you're interested!

I like this one. I've been looking for a NAV unit for my Suburban, this might fit the bill. I refuse to buy a unit that requires my phone for NAV so the others would be out from what I can tell.
