Re: Android HeadUnit query for Xtrail T31 2011 model
I think it's not OK to put Aliexpress links here, but if you search the site for 2 din android you will get a lot of options.
This is what I got:
Unfortunately after 1 month of working the GPS died. I suspect a burned chip most probably, as the antenna is OK. So I had to replace it with my old Android unit which I used on my old T30. Just to find that its wi-fi doesn't work anymore... So at some point, I may consider one of these 10" options.
Anyway, provided that everything works, I was happy with the device. The only annoying thing was that the volume dial is too close to the side of the fascia and difficult to grab/turn.
One more thing to consider. While testing the bad GPS thing I tried to swap it with almost the same unit I have in my Nissan Tiida (working OK there for over 2 years). Although they look 100% identical the mounting holes were differently placed on the side of the unit and it couldn't fit in the Exy. Drilling some new holes on the original car's brackets could solve the problem, but I wasn't bothered. The brackets coming with the device were useless BTW.
I personally don't use the car very often and all I need from this device is to be Android, so I can use all the navigations app I usually do and being able to install my preferred music player. I do not need 4G, so I don't know if it works with some 4G modems, etc. I am also not particularly fussy about the sound quality, so I can't say anything in that regard.
With these devices/Aliexpress if something goes wrong more than two weeks after receiving it you are screwed, so be aware of this!
