Why do when need to PM you? Do you mind just posting what you did here? I’d been looking at the Pioneer unit that has a screen and a separate body. That was a while ago.

 

Looks very nice!

 

I'm guessing that a lot of people here would be interested. I know if like to update the stereo in my cars, including getting the phone to work with it.

 

I was looking at something like this.

Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX

Digital multimedia receiver (does not play discs)

What's cool about these is the screen can be completely detached from the head unit (up to 63in) so you can remotely mount it.

Now these are massively spendy but there may be similar options out there.

 

Looks similar to the Pioneer I ended up with.

 

For me it would have to be fairly inexpensive. I have 10 cars that need updated.

 

That's cool, but I'm struggling to see the benefit beyond what a magnetic phone mount + Bluetooth connection would provide. I suppose the screen is a little bigger, but with some crafty solutions, you can make it basically invisible. Nice to park and put your tech in your pocket.

How do you tune local broadcasts?

 

I'm not familiar with either OS. Without being integrated into the car's function, is it just a bigger screen and better display options? I'm not kockin it, I just don't know what it does.

 

Very cool. I've shared in a couple other threads on this forum. Last year I installed a 10" generic brand touchscreen unit that I purchased from Amazon into my 65. The dash was already cut into a single DIN. Lots of great options out there on Ebay and Amazon. This runs native Android, so you can run any app supported by the system; Chrome, Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, Motortrend, HBO, etc. Yeah, it plays and streams full screen video. It also has wireless and USB support for CarPlay and Android auto. It's a hi-resolution, 720P screen. Built in, it also has wifi, bluetooth calling, and supports over the air radio. It also runs the Edelbrock ProFlo app, which is really cool having a secondary virtual instrument cluster. If one wants to get really fancy there are some models that have integrated CANBUS features.
