This is the headunit I have been waiting for!!

I started out trying to fit some kind of carputer over 4 years ago but could not buy complete or build something that I was happy with. This unit seems to tick all the boxes for me. The possibilities with Android are endless - OBD, music, video, internet, email, a huge choice of sat nav apps etc etc etc

I was thinking along the same lines as Starman for the past while i.e. fitting a tablet to the dash. There are a few vids on Youtube showing an in-dash iPad fitting. But I really want a radio and very few (if any) tablets have a built-in radio tuner. I know you can get radio apps but this means constant streaming (and cost!). I also want to keep the steering controls.

Outside of the tuner, the cost of fitting a good tablet with GPS, BT etc etc and the fabrication of some kind of fascia would be in the same ball park as this unit IMHO. This unit will hopefully be plug'n'play.
