Click on Setting ---> Auto settings ---> Factory settings-> pin: 44320-> LOGO

System is very responsive.
The GUI for Android is kind of small and doesn't seem to let me increase font size.  Apps that are designed for car use (big buttons, larger fonts) are harder to use.

You can connect keyboard/Mouse to the device and use it! Works fine.

TIP:
I connected a push button that is tucked under the dash board that will drop the power to the stereo when its pressed.  A small handful of times, the android software locked up.  There IS a recessed push button reset that you can press if you have a paper clip, but hard to do when driving.  Pressing the button drops the power to radio and I can do it when I'm driving.

Here are some screen shots.

The GPS came with an external GPS antenna that you can mount inside the windshield (similar to)

A fantastic feature for some users is the ability to monitor your engine parameters in your car.  A big reason I wanted an Android stereo.

This stereo requires the use of an OBD2 WIFI type of adapter (BlueTooth OBD2 type adapters do NOT work with it.

Shown here is the app TORQUE which is connected to the engine showing a variety of live engine data.  Google "Torque App" and you'll see what you can do.

  1. I too was pleasantly surprised by the features and build quality of this unit. It was $99! lol, cost me more to fill the truck its in!
    I was disappointed by its inability to support Torque OBD2, which would be a super useful feature!
