Who has Android or other 2DIN screen stereo installed in their 986?....

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?......

I put a eBay Android double din head unit in my '02 S model. In short, it's junk. Nav is very basic. It'll work on bluetooth for calls but won't stream music from my phone. I have a USB thumb drive with 2500 songs on it attached to the unit and it takes a few moments for them to load up. There is no volume knob on mine, it has touch sensitive + and - volume pads on it. I don't like them at all, I much prefer a knob. There is ZERO, and I mean absolutely ZERO support available from the Chinese who sell these things. Once they get your money you're on your own. I wrote them multiple emails about the unit not streaming music from my phone. Finally on the third try the sent me instructions on how to disassemble the radio and re-solder the main board. Yeah, I'll get right on that, thanks.

It was a $150 radio, and I got about what I paid for, likely even less. I like the double din. Don't go near one of these eBay Chinese radios. The unit I bought is labeled with the "Hizpo" brand. It was listed as "HD 7" Android 6.0 3G-WIFI 2Din Car Stereo Radio In Dash PC Tablet GPS Nav+Camera" by seller "elec-power" for $148.00. Avoid this radio and especially this seller at all costs.
