    Not to be confused with head units with Android Auto

    This thread is for head units that run on Android (e.g. Growl & Navitopia, etc)

    Planning to replace my car's AVT head unit.

    Presently thinking if I should get a branded head unit with Android Auto and Apply CarPlay capabilities.

    Or do I buy an Android Head Unit with CarPlay

    Sent a message to Navitopia and Growl for their current offerings and their TOTL models support CarPlay.

    Have anyone used CarPlay on a Navitopia or Growl head units? stable ba? no connection issues after long drives?

    Went to Navitopia and Growl

    funny observations.
    they're not sure if the head unit will run Android 10 or 11, also can't confirm if my car will get a 9 or 10inch head unit

    both offers free home installation.
    Navitopia is around 2K more expensive, but it comes with a free dash cam

    Careful with navitopia. Been there, done that. The unit i got showed significant lag over time although admittedly i only opted for one of the entry level units. I really just needed a large screen for Waze and the stock stereo before didn't have Android auto so i still relied on my phone. Anyway, what i got was the Android 10, 2gb ram, 16gb rom as advertised. Upon installing CPU-z, it only shows 1gb ram but it does say Android 10.1. I don't know if this holds true to their totl units.

    Warning when buying China Android Head Units even from local vendors...

    Android Head-Unit faking its hardware specifications | Team-BHP

    Got an Astral HU "newer and more expensive" model ... claimed to be running on 1.5 A7 quad core running on Android 13...



    Ran CPU-Z on the unit.

    Turns out running on 1.12 ghz A7 quad core circa 2013 and Android Level 29 aka version 10 only...





    So better check their promo 7999 unit with CPU-Z app, baka 1 gb ram or lower Android version lang tinatakbo kaya cheap.
