i like the model W701 Plus which was built in android system

Thanks for the review. Very interesting device. One question. The device does not have GPS. Does it mean that I can not use any navigation programs installed via Playstore on that device? Or is it possible to use an external GPS device? If yes which is supported and works? The GPS devices I was looking for do not habe a driver für Android,

These Android Auto / Apple Carplay devices must be paired to an Android or Apply phone for it to work. These devices do not have any navigation or multimedia capabilities. All the functions comes from the phone.

@@dial2fast The Plus version does have the capability to install apps locally. It has Android 12 installed locally. And it also has a Playstore. I wonder what is the advantage of the Plus version if there is no way to use it for navigation. Fpr me the Plus only makes sense compared to the normal 701 if it has the capability to be used for GPS navigation.

i have the same question it seems all the reviews gloss over this.... i wanted to pair up my head unit to this. but i cant see anyone mentioning this.

How long does it take for the unit to completely boot-up from a cold start?

[@dial2fast]

The unit is running Android OS, so the bootup is about 20 seconds.

@@dial2fast Thank you for the reply. I've been waiting for over a year for these units to ship with Android OS rather that just AA and CP and this one doesn't look too bad but it's mighty pricey.
