Default Re: Researching head units with Android Auto (and Apple Car Play)

This is my Sony single DIN headunit in my Fairlane Sportsman.



When I bought it a few years ago I didn't want the CD player and this model also came with all the latest interweb tech stuff like Pandora

At the same time, I upgraded the front speakers but left the rears, including the subwoofer alone.

I also got the cable that links into the audio controls on the steering wheel. This is the best feature.

The phone thingy is rubbish though. When it decides to work people complain about too much background noise.

The other problem is my wife. When she tries to reduce the volume, she bumps the control thus sending it into menu mode.

Which brings me to another problem - I can't see the writing on the unit, or in the display making changes while driving impossible. The answer was to set it all up before embarking on a trip.

All is forgiven though when you crank up the volume, hit bass boost and watch the mirror and rear screen beat in time with the music.

Best played when you are in the car by yourself.
