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):

Head Unit Link

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...

Head Unit Link

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.

No it can't

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.

Anyone know the answer to this?

An Amp and a DSP fundamentally do different things. Many products have both.

I should reword the question...Would a Head unit with builtin DSP be more beneficial then a head unit with no DSP when pairing them with an external amp?

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

Has anyone been able to figure out what the preamp voltage is for these units? In my research literally only 2 companies have posted there voltage and not for all of there units. For example Joying...I only saw the voltage for one of the units which was 2 volts but ATOTO on the other hand states most of the late/New units have 4 volts. All other brands don't mention a thing.

Do you all know of any others that run at 4 volts or better?

cavemancan · 03-05-2019, 01:46 PM

Check out the first page and let me know what you think.

Admins if it's sticky worthy feel free.
