    I've been actually trying to find out the same thing, as long as it fits I don't see an issue. I have my eyes on an

    I would love the functionality and apps of a a full Android HU - but I can't deal with the start up times. I saw a review a few months ago that had a 16 second start up time - 16 seconds, and it was considered 'fast'. I know I'm spoiled with the OEM HU that starts playing the last source in a few seconds, even my old beloved JVC needed about 5 to be up and running. But, 16? or more? No thanks.

    Looks sweet. Do you have a parts list for the install? Does the unit block the air vents or can you move it up and down as required?

    I know for a fact that you cant really adjust the unit/screen to steer clear of the vents and the unit does go hot so i guess the vents can assist with the cooling.

    I've been wanting to do this for a while now but sometimes when I need to lock the car up with the key fob in the car. I take the small metal key with me. Changing the setting is done using the vehicle settings menu on the stock head unit. Is it possible to change the settings on an aftermarket head unit?if not is there any way to still change the settings with an aftermarket head unit installed?

    So, neither of you have had any problems blocking the vents like that? I just ordered a Jensen Car1000 10" head unit after being unsatisfied with an Atoto A6 and I have some fears about the height of the unit blocking the vents. It's going to sit even higher than what either of you have.

    If I ever replace the HU on mine, I want something that fits in the original space.
