Has anyone experimented with these? If so, what brands? I've read some promising things, and for the prices im seeing I'm willing to scrap my sony to give it a try.

Random example. Seem to be becoming more popular lately.

One of the brand new pioneer head unit runs android. It's pretty slow and the unit it's self is like 1k

Seen some of the off brands go for three to four with promising reviews

a nexus 7 fits the double din opening perfectly. why bother with a hu?

What do I need to complete a nexus install?

This is what i've aquired so far; 12 dc-dc adapter, tablet, behringer uca222 DAC, OTG cable, usb hub, bluetooth remote, misc install hardware like a relay, mouting hardware (I used some straps and hot glue). You might need a dremel to make small modifications to the back of the trim panel by the usb port or get a right angle usb adapter. 

 

you can spend more to integrate steering wheel controls, add extra storage, etc. 

 

also, you need to root the tablet for the car install, which I think it pretty straight forward. 

 

Total cost, including tablet and what I listed above would be <$150. 

Nexus 7 gen 1 or gen 2 both work iirc, I have a gen 1. 

Oh then fuck the off brand bullshit.

Thanks for the idea =]

Im screenshotting your post for payday >=]

you could also look at his build log... lol

I went down that route, got all ready with my install and said screw it I am doing a full blown computer.

Buy a unit, or built your own?

Intel NUC, but lots of piece meal otherwise.

I was wrong, it's actually kenwood.
