Android Conversion or Interface - opinions wanted

[Franktea1$]

All,

I have a 2016 F85, I don't use any Apple products. Would like to either change out to Android head unit or just interface with my phone to have phone functionality on the screen.

If you've been through this and have installed a satisfactory product would love to hear about it.

My dash is completely apart at the moment for other things I am tackling so I figure good time to take this on.

Thanks,
Frank

I replaced mine with Snapdragon Android 11 unit about 1.5 yrs ago. I bought it from 4x4 shop Canada. You can customize it to your spec. My only issue is fitment - it was 95%. Otherwise, it's been great.

How was it 95%, could you please elaborate?

Cheers

fitment is not 100%. As with any products from China or non OEM, I expected this.

Happy with my unit from Avin USA
