Based on the 10.1" screen Android stereo installed in my Jeep I can tell you there are pros and cons in owning an Android stereo.

1st for me is the POOR quality mic used for BT calls, it is so horrible I hardly ever use it,then again, I hate talking even by BT while driving.

2nd is the lack of proper screen dimming for evening and night light, I had to install an app that "filters" the screen to mimic turning down the brightness, still looks foggy, bit I can live with that.

I guess I should look more into Android auto equipped regular 2din stereos as these will have usable BT function and a true dimmable screen.

Any one else care to chime in?......
