10.25 Inch Display Android Car Radio GPS Navigation Head Unit from 4x4Shop.ca
#2237
My thoughts on the unit purchased from NaviHua.
Having this unit with CarPlay really makes up for the otherwise crappy infotainment system. Once it is up and running, the unit feels OEM as I am able to control everything with my **** controller and steering wheel controls. Wireless CarPlay boots up pretty flawlessly most of the time and the screen's image quality is great. Below are some of things I don't like about the unit, which is in-line with a lot of other people's comments in the thread:

Below are some of things I don't like about the unit, which is in-line with a lot of other people's comments in the thread:
- Slow boot-up time ~40 seconds for the actual unit, + ~20 seconds for wireless CarPlay to auto-start and detect my phone
- Audio via AUX or A/V from the Android unit does not sound as full as from factory Bluetooth. You have to fiddle around to get the audio to play and stick over the factory Bluetooth (every time you start up, which gets annoying if you're doing several short trips). The unit's audio quality is probably fine for most people.
- I have not found much utility with the stock Android interface, but that is really dependent on the user (e.g. other users using Sygic/OBD readers/non-phone maps)
- Small gripe, the NaviHua unit doesn't display a picture of your car on the right side of the screen and shows an analog clock instead. If anyone knows how I could edit this, that would be helpful!
- Another small gripe, when shifting to reverse, it takes an extra ~1.5 seconds for the screen to go to the backup camera.
- Install and setup is fairly simple for people comfortable with removing panels and connecting cables, although the room to work with for routing cables is tight.

for anyone with the 4x4 canada android screen, have you ever had an issue where the Android side is black but the stock side is fine? I can flip between the 2 modes but the android side is black.
does anyone know how to reset it or anything? I tried contacting 4x4 but they are ghosting me.
thanks
