Hey guys... haven't been on here in years since I got some good advice on upgrading my Impala. Wasn't a huge/expensive upgrade, but was very happy with the results. Stereo still sounds good... car, well, not so much.
Buying a 3rd Gen Dodge Ram 1500 (2002-2005). I'm a big/tall guy so getting something with room this time. Likely picking up a Laramie edition 4x4 quad cab with the 7 speaker infinity system. Just waiting to hear back about the safety check results.
Downside is that although my Sony speakers (6"x9" 3-way rear, 5.25" components front) will fit in the Dodge, I can't really use them. I guess the rears are full range 5.25", mine are bass only, and the front are 6"x9" but bass only. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
Anyways, doesn't matter... speaker are probably fine enough... stereo, not so much. CD/Casette player. I own no CDS, nor do I own Casettes.
Initially, I was looking at a basic single-din head, receiver only with USB, then get am 8GB low-profile USB drive and just leave it plugged in. Then started thinking, double-din, like a Pioneer MVH-S600BS.
Then, I started looking at eBay.... and the Android based double-dins, with movies, music, radio, gps, Torque, etc... some I think even link to the car and can use the built-in sensors for stuff like tire pressure and stuff? Crazy amount of options, under $100CAD... but downside, eBay China no-name brand stuff, and can't ask the seller anything because of the language barrier.
Just wondered... anyone have any experience (not guesses) with these eBay android units? Good? Bad? Recommend a unit? and if will even work with the Dodge Ram for stuff like onboard sensors?
