DIY: 9.7 inch Vertical Android Head unit install (Picture Heavy)

Sub'd. GREAT IDEA! The other problem with just going tablet is the lack of hands-free calling. These Android HU's support this. Which model did you buy?

Thank you! Yes, I was going to go with 10.1 inch tablet route but the lack of car infotainment feature holds me back.

I went with single din Joying 9.7 vertical screen model since single din provides more flexibility on mounting and it is easier to hide behind the 9.7 inch screen. I hope Joying will release a vertical 10.1 inch screen version in the future so the gap around the screen and 370z bezel will be smaller.

I would be OK with a 12" screen even if it poked up above the bezel a little.

I agree and I think it will look amazing on the Z!

However, I think it will be hard for Joying to release such model, because there are not many car model have the sufficient space to fit a 12 inch screen like the Z does.

Yes, you can install app from Google Play store just like a regular tablet and all those app will be in portrait mode.

However, some of the car launcher does not work that well.. I will report back once I found the most suitable one.

No, this is the one I got. https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-ne...o-upgrade.html

If you get it from their eBay store, it is currently 18% off now.

The vertical and horizontal model has different ROM and interface is completely different.
