There is a guy that deals in an Android unit for Rover 75 and MG ZT with all the Chinese variants.
I however as mentioned plumped for the cheaper WinCE unit.

Yup cheaper, but you got a problem there. No remote for the buttons on the steering wheel. When used to those, its hard to get rid of
And the sound output is much worse compared.

Android 2.2 6,5" CAR Device
There is an Android 2.2 800Mhz 256MB 8GB 6,2" TFT CAR DVD on sale (800 USD to door in Russia) that I have bought recently and after some software installations it does deliver what I have wanted to have in the car.
Nevertheless there are a few major complaints to its performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx53a6N7_ws
As well there are several other minor things that would be great to change if possible.
If there is someone interested and able to cook a custom ROM for this device - I can send this device for free as a gift and for experiments. We really want a good ROM for this CA-Fi Car Stereo and the guy's in China don't seem caring enough.
I will check this thread once in a while and provide contact details for anyone interested in developing this device. It is very close to being a great thing for a CAR!
I have updated my email in the XDA profile so you can as well use this option to contact me.
PS
I Have a ROM update file (192MB) that came from the device vendor (dealer). I can send it out for revision.
The way to install this rom on the car stereo is to extract files to the root of a microSD card, insert it, switch off the device, then, while holding the screen tapped, power on – the device starts an install mode. When finished it asks for screen calibration and restarts with a new rom as after a hard reset (erases everything).
And there is the Parrot as well.
i've gone down the route of car pc etc, it was running win 7.
to be honest, they're wayyy to much fuss and aggro.
the sound quality sucked, the screen was **** (it was cheap - £250 "cheap") and broke shortly after a year of having it.
a decent head unit, with either apt x bluetooth dongle plugged in, or just the 3.5mm with hox is much much better. sound quality is way better, and i don't have to put up with some slow 800mhz cpu when all i want is to be driving whilst listening to music
just a fyi for those considering, its a huge cost, for not actually that much benefit (unless you live in your car)
CA-Fi Android Car Radio
I understand you if you only need to have music playing while driving, as well as some people who still prefer using monochrome cell phones. This is a matter of needs.
Regarding the sound quality of this particular CA-Fi device its surprisingly fine. I use its 4x45W out lines conneted directly to car OEM speakers (its a Chrysler PT) and the subwoofer RCA out channel connected via a 1KW Kenwood amplifier to a large Polk Audio woofer. With the available in this device GEQ and Bass/Treble settings the unit provides perfectly sharp and clear sound in the high+mid ranges for the OEM speakers that in company with the powerful sub make a really impressive rich and clear sound scene with no distortion at any volume.
This sound setup is very easy and efficient. Honestly, to my hearing it is not lacking comparing to my previous JVC Mosfet 192/24 DAC car stereo that was routed through amplifiers for all channels to Focal speakers instead of the OEM... That was too much trouble for the gained advantage. Again, depending on the needs. Trully - the sound of this Android Radio is fine, a sound of a branded Hi-Fi car stereo.
And if you had a Win7 Car PC setup that is quite complicated to arrange you should agree that this easy one-box Android PC solution is a great idea. It provides the music and all the tablet PC advantages. It's really nice after switching on the ignition to hear from your car that you have a new e-mail arrived, and enjoy other goodies like that.

yes, I considered the Parrot, but found it limited for modifications and with a too small screen. There is as well a Clarion at present under development, but it does not appeal to me neither. It is a concept from the Clarion Malaysia division and most likely will be limited for modifications; if it will ever be released at all:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNQC56S5NFI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1TFiy2Dsdg
I really have spent some plenty of time on the web before selecting this CA-Fi device and I couldnt find anything better. To be honest I even went trough a mistake and loss of money by ordering an Android/WinCE dual OS device first (by the way its refferted to above in this thread). Result - I installed it into my dad's car (its better than his OEM 2003 Mercedes device anyway). But that one is wierd. My advice: be aware not to get one of those by mistake. For example, mine had GPS only in WinCE and 3G only in Android - so I couldnt have the Navigation system working along with traffic updates.... this spoiled everything for me.
PS
Important to know that CA-Fi offer a few dozens of versions of the same model with different front panels to match many of original car dashboards without the need of modifying the panels - the device fits in as a replacement for the OEM unit! As well for those who think that there are many different Android car stereos to choose from - this may be the same model with different front facing.
Like theese are the same device:
Well its that time that i wanna upgrade my headunit in my car. theres a new standard that has been agreed to be used by most of the big cell mfgrs, car companies, and headunit mfgrs - its called MirrorLink.. I know the SIII has it and you can hook up your cell to a headunit and it basically throws your cell display onto the headunit.
Anyone else hear of this? Know if compat. with galaxy nexus? If not, anyone know how i can install it on a nexus to use? I really love this idea and i really feel its gonna catch on..
Thanks
Galaxy Nexus (toro) and MirrorLink compatibility>??
http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/14/2705992/sony-mirrorlink-XAV-701HD-XAV-601BT-hands-on
- this is about the mirror link..
and then like wise i found the new Parrot Asteroid SMART coming out very very soon that integrates the android phone into your headunit.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/04/parrot-asteroid-smart-tablet-and-mini-car-infotainment-system/
im not sure which technology for connection is better or worse - its a very exciting time, either way!
Mirrorlink is not yet working on other Android phones beyond the S3 but it's being worked on and there is a good amount of interest, check out the last few pages of this thread...

Hi! I am new to xda forums and require some advanced help for my T-mobile Galaxy S4. I am sure this must have been brought up previously as there is a completely other thread for this issue regarding sound distortion when using non-Samsung headphones. (See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258831
The issue is affecting almost all variants of the Galaxy S4 where there is some sort of problem with lower impedance headphones. At higher volumes, crackling and distortion of sound and bass become almost unbearable. However, this issue does NOT affect the regular in-box Samsung headphones, as well as other lower quality headphones. The higher-end, audiophile headphones are usually the ones affected. I have a pair of Klipsch S4a headphones designed specifically for android phones, and it is impossible to listen to music with them. When I use the regular headphones in the S4 box, they work fine without any problem. Interestingly enough, my Klipsch headphones work perfectly in my old Galaxy S3, as well as my HTC phones. So this is obviously a problem with Galaxy S4 only. I even plugged in my headphones into several working models at T-mobile store/Costco and all had the same problem. But my headphones sounded perfectly fine in other devices.
Now if you have clicked the above link that talks about the issue, it seems that international S4's and GT-I9505/GH-I337 phones got the fix several weeks ago via an update from Samsung that changed their kernel versions. AT&T also received an OTA android update that fixed the audio headphones issue earlier this month (http://www.christianpost.com/news/galaxy-s4-android-4-2-2-software-update-corrects-earphone-distortion-issue-101838/ . Now the problem is, is that both T-mobile and Samsung refuse to acknowledge this issue. I have tried contacting tech support for both several time, with T-mobile saying they are unaware of the issue and no update is to be released for it, and Samsung simply saying "we recommend using your Samsung headphones that came with the device". Unbelievable considering there are official fixes for this that have gone to International users and North American AT&T users. I don't know what to do. I am guessing 99% of T-mobile users just use the headphones in the box so T-mobile/Samsung don't really care to address this issue. I am a part-time music producer and can't use my my high-end headphones on my S4 and it is really disappointing that it can't handle such a basic task. I don't want to have to root my phone because I use Wi-Fi calling and NFC very frequently and usually they are disabled in rooted versions. If anyone has a fix for this it would be much appreciated. I am a noob here at these forums so please explain any solutions step-wise for better understanding - thanks.
So I have a Bose bluetooth speaker that I've been using flawlessly with all of my phones for the past few years.
Then Samsung pushed out its latest update, PHE. My bluetooth connection drops very frequently, and I have no idea what to do about it.
The connection has been dropping frequently even after I exchanged my Note 7 on Sunday. So to be clear, this problem has occurred on two separate Galaxy Note 7's.
Before Samsung's latest update, I was playing music on this speaker flawlessly.
Anyone run into a similar problem with Samsung's latest update?

I use 4 different BT devices, connections working fine
Guys, we've been discussing this in great length over in the Sprint Q&A. Here's the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/help/choppy-bluetooth-t3445131
I've also posted a link to a youtube video where I've captured the lag...join in over there.
Is it me or does Samsung always have Bluetooth connectivity issues? One of my biggest complaints is that It's always a hassle to connect via Bluetooth. I also own an iPhone and that sucker connects to Bluetooth seamlessly. Especially when connecting to my car.

I've owned the S3, Note 3, Note 5, Note 8, S9, and, now, the Note 10+, and I'd say I only remember some BT issues with one of the early Galaxy phones on that list. I can't remember which one, but they went away as I experimented with different ROMs. Eventually, I was happy enough with the OOTB OS and Samsung overlays that I just stopped flashing ROMs. I've certainly had no BT issues with the Note 8 or the Note 10+. (I didn't use the S9 long enough to have a strong opinion)
In my life, I have, off the top of my head, the following BT devices:
- several portable BT speakers
- 3 family cars
- 2 August Smart Locks
- 2 garage door openers
- a JBL Link 20
- an LG sound bar with BT
- thermostat
- refrigerator
- Nespresso
- several smart lights, switches, and dimmers
- a weird string of lights in my daughter's room
Many of those things only use BT momentarily, while setting up a WiFi connection, but they seemed to work perfectly with my Samsung phones, nonetheless. (I'll get back to you on whether I'm frying my brain and sterilizing my kids with all the wireless tech in my home)

I have used bluetooth devices since my sony ericsson days, the k700i, back in 2005, since there, I have had a lot of various bt gadgets, and, the most common issue is the difference in bt versions, and the implementation, commonly the phone has a higher version, and the gadget has a lower one, and there is where I have found some troubles, not always, but sometimes, at first, say, 2006, 2007, I always thought as you that the phone was somewhat the culprit, but as I have had more and more phones and gadgets, the pattern became evident

Hey there. I had the same issue amongst a few other things. My audio for phone calls wasn't working about 90% of the time. Took it in to a Sprint Service Center and not just one of their kiosk stores. They said it might have just been a bad load from the factory and wiped the phone and reloaded the factory software they had up to date and everything seems to be working flawlessly. Apparently this happened to a few of the handsets. So try to have it reloaded with the original software and not just a factory reset.

Hi, I don't think that's my case. This has been my history with the Note 8 & 9 and now with 10. I always have to manually connect and it takes me 3-6 tries before it connects. Sometimes it doesn't connect at all.
Not any connection issues whatsoever here with mine either..
