[@whatsdavedone104]

Glad to see Eonon in the top list, I have there VWA12S, VWA12 and Q53pro units for my Volkswagens. Also glad to hear you using the word genuine android....to many companies faking android software

[@duncanh997]

I bought the VWA12S based of your review Dave, so also glad to see them get a good review here. Good work chaps! I would also like to see Pluscenter head units reviewed, seem reasonable on the face of it but some very conflicting reviews.

Thanks a lot for sharing all this info man! Really appreciate it! How would you say these different head units compare in terms of screen brightness? Are they all similar? How do they hold up on a bright and sunny day? I am struggling to find any information on their nits level. I think it would be a nice point to add to your reviews! Like the usability in real world for average person not just specs. Keep up the good work!

[@SaabUnleashed]

I might have to invest in a brightness measure tool to find max and min levels. Ultimately these are fine providing the sunlight is not directly on the screen

[@dz1480]

Got the atoto a6 pf on black friday for 161€. your review encouraged me and im not disappointed.

[@leshkaleshka2979]

Love the quick and comprehensive review. Quick question for you. I have 2011 Saab 9-5 NG. Curious if I'm still able and how will I be able to adjust all vehicle options that I currently have via my navigation screen. Do these head units still give me an option to adjust present climate control options, lighting options and vehicle specific features, or do I lose that access after installation of a new head unit? Much appreciated.

[@zoran.cvetkovic]

Awesome video! Thank you bro!

[@Hizzogarage]

Enjoying the videos, I feel more clued up about android head units now, one question I did have - for someone who primarily uses apple CarPlay what specs should we be looking for in a head unit and also what would you recommend? Brand - possibly model wise?

[@MadSilence]

AWESOME VIDEO man! Thanks!

[@ariels2283]

Thanks for this informative video.

[@djsconsulting]

Thanks, I enjoy your videos. As always very informative. I currently have a model specific Joying head unit in my Mitsubishi Shogun but always interested to hear if there is anything worth swapping to. I was disappointed to see Eonon have a very limited range of model specific units not including Mitsubishi or Saab (info from UK web site). My Shogun has an OEM amplifier which is apparently very difficult to properly link but the model specific wiring loom from Joying works perfectly, also with the OEM reversing camera. I wouldn't want to risk a non specific wiring loom in case I don't get the same level of integration as with my current Joying unit.

[@dwightstebner2345]

In search of an economical head unit with navigation, I opted for the Atoto S8. So far I am very satisfied with the sound quality and performance it produces..

[@PureGfx529]

Just want to say this video was very helpful.

[@rugbyguitargod]

One of the first head units I remember like these was the Parrot Asteroid Mini. I had one in my car back in 2016 and it was absolutely great; I had all of the apps that were available on Google Play store and had the TORQ application with a bluetooth OBDII transmitter that would send live data to the app and would even display it as digital gauges. Sadly, Parrot shifted its primary focus on drones for military/LEO and no longer make any variant of the Asteroid Mini.

[@AtariFX]

Great video...wondering what the standard RAM is for the ATOTO S8 if the Ultra for additional $ is a whopping 4GB.

[@zeroyon9]

Great video, watt output of each unit would be a really good thing to mention, or maybe most powerful sound category ?

[@colmdoggett]

Love the reviews, keep them coming! Have you seen the new Atoto F7G1A5WE 5inch single din? Just wondering if there might be a review coming soon?

[@SaabUnleashed]

The F7 range is not Android but I'm always up for testing new stuff. Watch this space

[@kazsiddique1]

Great video! Where have you been in my life?!😊

[@CloudsLikeThese]

Another brilliant roundup. I wish I had the confidence to jump on the T'eyes for my Mitsubishi Pajero - but installation services out here in Dubai are very hit and miss and certainly couldn't do it myself!

[@discipleofchrist5217]

You can do it. It's very simple it's no different than installing any other radio basically plug & play and there are tons of videos on KZbin showing you how to do it

[@drgjs]

Thank you so much for your content! One thing that I really wish the world new is what the analog RCA output voltages are. This is the one area in which these Android head units are typically weak... they have between 1.5v and 2.2 volt RCA outs... and this just makes it a no-go for most people in the Sound Quality world. Is there any way you can include this in your reviews? It would be a game changer for a whole lot of us, I assure you!

[@matthewbillington1237]

Could you please do a review of the screen mounting brackets on the various brands. I would love an in depth look at how the screens are mounted and adjusted for depth, height and tilt. This information will determine what brand I choose despite the performance of the head unit itself. Thanks in advance and keep doing what you do.

[@natanmusmanthome6772]

Thank you for the video! It is awesome!! I was wondering though if you have a recomendation for a head unit for people that only need android auto (waze, google maps, spotify and phone)?

[@ameenpeek]

did you find anything with just these? don't think I need to watch Netflix while driving haha

[@natanmusmanthome6772]

@@ameenpeek I know, right?! Couldn't find anything. It's annoying that my options are either a shitty cheap head unit that may not be built for my car at all, or a really expensive one that will basically be able to mine bitcoin while I drive. I mean, really? Why would one need the option to connect their Playstation to the car screen?! I have a bigger, nicer screen at home. I also have a couch, which is more comfortable than the seats in my car. The idea is beyond me....

[@rasep1357]

@Saab Unleashed: Great video! Suggestion: A video showcasing everything about how to make android radio's work with RSE (rear seat entertainment) monitors (usually 2, one for each back seat). Many android radio's advertise RSE capability but not many people know how to actually make it work. The limitations, possibilities, what can be done, what can't be, etc.. in detail would be great to hear and see! Thanks!

[@SaabUnleashed]

Good idea for a video, I'll need to acquire some stuff to make that a reality

What up, awesome review, I've never heard of any of these head units before but I take your word that they're very good, I just got a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis it's got a factory radio with cassette tape player lol what media player would you suggest? I want to to get one to pair with some new 6x9s which 6x9s would you recommend?

If not, any idea if there’s a way to get a live front cam widget in Nova launcher using an app or something?

[@Anwarboy786]

Hi Sir! just discovered your channel last night and have been deep diving into your detailed reviews. I have a honda civic 1.6 i-dtec with factory android 4 nav, if you know anything about this car then the wiring is super annoying and I think i might need to buy incartec looms as im assuming the ones with these units wont work 100%. Also some splicing required to retain the call buttons on the steering. Anyhooo - Question I have for you is - Do any of these units allow multiple phones to be connected to the call function ? I normally have a personal phone which i like to be connected for audio (and android auto in future) then a work phone i need connected to take work calls. Another question, does the eonon have split screen for the main apps ?

[@richardborsheim6377]

Thanks for this video. I choose a joying 11" head unit specific to my 18 jeep wrangler. The hardest part of the installation was the cameras, mounting and wire runs. But some sad news. Driving around town, yesterday the head unit went dead. Had a bunch of warning lights go off on the dash(most concerning was the airbag light) then blank screen, no sound. Trouble shooting revealed no loose wires and good fuses (both head unit and vehicle). Only one month of use, doa, $600. I think anyone choosing a head unit should think long and hard about what your going to do, if you have problems. Their is a definite language barrier and your a world away from help. I will bench trouble shoot this, I am almost positive that the canbus adapter is the cause. I am replacing it with a PAC version to see. BTW I love what this head unit can do, and want it to work. I'll update if I figure it out.😮

[@m1cajah]

This video was very helpful to me. I’ve been looking at stereo vids for a couple of days now. Really like the look of the Android head units. One thing I never see (and can’t find info on) is AM/FM reception (dBf). I mostly listen to Sirius/Pandora/TuneIn but there are times when I actually enjoy terrestrial radio. The aftermarket units I’ve tried (Pioneer, Jensen, and JVC) have all SUCKED in comparison to the stock radio. It’s actually annoying enough that I have pulled the aftermarket radios and put in the original just to get better reception. 😢 Oh, and I'm not a fan of RDS station names. I can just as easily recall which station plays what using the digital numbers. It would, in fairness, be nice for the RDS - AND - the station number to be displayed simultaneously. Win-win for all.

[@user-yy2qp3lv9r]

I have seen some of your older videos on that subject, but wondered how these newer units worked in that regard. My initial preference would be to integrate in the dash (remove the ICM2 but not have the stick out tiltable screen). I could be pursuaded otherwise :-) But having audio steering wheel controls would be a nice plus. Not worrying at this point about backup camera etc.Thanks so much for your great content!

[@JonBOY26]

Hi. Thanks for another great video. I'm having issues with car vandalism and I'd be really interested to see a video that focuses on the dash cam capabilities of Android head units and in particular whether any of them support parking mode with buffered motion detection. I'm aware of Blackvue and Viofo etc dashcams but I already run an android head unit so ideally, I'd like a head unit that can run 4 cameras to recreate the sentry mode that Tesla vehicles have. Cheers.

[@SaabUnleashed]

There are no Android head unit DVRs that do parking recording, mostly because they are powered by USB from the actual Android unit. You should look at a smart dashcam, like Vantrue. They can be hardwired for parking mode without killing your battery and you can install the app for it on an Android head unit to review footage onscreen

[@JonBOY26]

⁠thanks. That's a shame. I already have a blackvue dash cam with parking mode that I'm looking to upgrade, but even the latest dash cams options don't cater for things like mirror mounted side cameras (like Teslas have). Seems like a wasted opportunity for an android head unit to cater for 4 camera inputs for 360 parking assist that also serve as dash cams while driving and parking mode cameras when parked (by writing to an SD card) by simply connecting a cable to constant power.

[@SaabUnleashed]

I agree, it is a wasted opportunity
