Hey guys, So I've been a iOs guy for my phone as it just basically works and I don't care to much about my phone. 

 

But recently got given a Andriod Head unit for my car, its one of these units: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quad-Core-Android-6-3G-WIFI-MP5-7-Double-2DIN-car-Radio-stereo-player-GPS-Nav-a/222642451010?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

 

For all the android Guru's out there, what would you recommend I do with it, like flash it completely to the android Car IOS or like what ?

its very cut down in most parts, really shitty specs, keep your expectations in check. buying this and judging android is like buying i pad 1 in 2017 and judging IOS.

fair enough, mate who sending it to me did bring that up, but he was also saying it gets away with the low specs well as its just a car radio, You'll only ever really be using 1-2 apps at once so the 1GB ram holds up, just Google maps, Spotify, and a OBD II program, and never all at once. 

 

I'm ganna be running the rear USB under the dash and let it connect to my iphone as a "ipod" music input and if it can use it as a wifi hotspot for spotify when I'm driving. 

 

Guess I'll post more questions and stuff from guys once its in my hand and can be a lot more specific.
