Head unit discussion

Frustrated...I posted a link to a guy that installed a seicane unit in his car but seicane is saying they don’t make one for my car:

as others have said - you just need the plain 2DIN version. The link the guy posted in the youtube video had a vehicle specific bezel. I imagine he either removed that bezel or linked the wrong one.

To be honest I wasn’t entirely sure if “universal” would work so I was double checking...I had a feeling though.

I’m looking at getting this (cool thing is you can get a usb CD PLAYER option if you want to play CD’s that way you have more screen):

Ok don’t bite my head off I know it says universal but all the other head units are 7 inch 2 din but what about this one...

Can a 10.1 inch screen fit in a 2 din slot? It just doesn’t seem possible?

The unit I've looked into is called ATOTO and is available for a reasonable price in Canada. Everything seems to be decent - going to install later this week.

The 10.1" units are usually a double din body that installs where the stereo usually goes, but the screen itself plugs into the body on a hinge mechanism. The android units they rarely show a side profile and only show a head on angle. Here's an example:

Thank you that makes much more sense now. Not sure if that would look right sticking out like that.

Looks promising but I would like to see a frequency response and it looks like they only have 2 GB of arm.

If your connecting one of these units to an AMP do you really need a head unit with a built in DSP chip?

Once I am done with all this research I'm going to cut an paste it on the first page so it easier to find.

As mentioned above, completely different things. Unless you get a head unit with DSP like the 80prs then that has built in DSP properties.

It's the same thing I've seen with other manufactures. Ignore the (what fits) buy a standard double din and install it done.

I've even seen things fit that crutchfield says doesn't fit.

Thanks...Crutchfield has a set of JL Audio 6x9 components that says don't fit but when I spoke with a salesman he told me that they do fit and not to worry. The dimensions imply it will not fit but its so close I can see how it would.

See here for example: LINK - CLICK ME
