I finally decided to stop waiting for a major name brand retailer to put out a full Android HU and went with a pure Chinese unit. Joying 2Din 5.1.1

I am getting rid of my old Apline INA-W900BT because is't pretty limited in what it can do from a AV file perspective. It will only play video files from the DVD drive and only if they are MPEG-1 or 2 with no compression. It can only play audio files MP3, WMA, and AAC. Also their support wasn't very helpful besides suggesting to buy more alpine products to fix issues.

For the past 4 years I had this unit I have been waiting for an actual android system to hit the market, the few that have only use a very old version (parrot) or some proprietary version that only allows a small handful of apps (20 or less) to run. Not to mention costs around $1k.

So I'll keep this thread updated, as of now I got all the parts on hand and should be installed Wednesday with the help of bigaudiofanat.
