Buckeye1647545503 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'd like to get a Double Din touch screen CD/DVD player for the new DD. I want Bluetooth, and USB and I'd like Android. And backup cam (backing to trailer use) compatibility. I see a bunch of names I've never heard of on Amazon that by stats fill the bill cheaply but I'm sceptable. Do any of you guys have experience with any? This is my daily so I want it to work but I'm not trying to impress anyone with a 500.00 deck.

smokin5s Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 what kind of car? I found a 200 dollar one for my Civic that actually comes with the dash pieces etc.... Maybe there's other options like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I have a BOSS double DIN that i just took out of my truck, i hated it. You can have it for cheap if you'd like. $40 sound fair? it has a backup camera too, just never used it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowHBK Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 This has decent reviews on Amazon and I was tempted to buy one at some point. Runs Windows CE OS...which would be its only real drawback. https://www.amazon.com/Upgarde-Version-Bluetooth-Navigation-Digital/dp/B01CU9OD4C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477499372&sr=8-1&keywords=2din+android+car+stereo+with+bluetooth Here is the Android version of that unit: https://www.amazon.com/Volsmart-Lollipop-Navigation-Bluetooth-internal/dp/B01FU4VNGK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1477499714&sr=8-2&keywords=2din+android+car+stereo+with+bluetooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 My duramax came with a Kenwood double din touch screen and I learn something new about it every day.. Definitely worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 My Colorado has a Kenwood, I thought about just keeping it but it's older and my luck it will crap out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 stay away from Windows CE... I'm very unhappy with it as it's slow and honestly blows. It does do the job though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizin01 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I put one of these Android units in my Subi. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EG1ZRGU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Works pretty well. Now I don't talk through the Bluetooth so I can't comment on that. It has a built in mic and comes with an external mic. Most guys say it works ok. It boots pretty fast, screen looks good, radio reception isn't that great, but I usually hotspot my cellphone and run internet radio. The only downside I ran into is it wont allow just any Bluetooth hardware to pair to it. Torque App supposedly works but I hardwired mine through a usb port. But I have a Bluetooth flexfuel dongle and it wont work correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH if the hardware is there for Windows CE to use, then It is actually not that shit. I had an old Windows CE laptop and a RT device with decent hardware and I was fine... Now, I have to admit though that 95% of all CE and RT devices are complete shit. Stay away if you don't know much about hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've been looking at getting sound through a couple of my older vehicles using a hidden/under-dash-mounted unit: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Amplifier-ELEGIANT-Control-Motorcycle/dp/B01GE1MIGM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1477574281&sr=8-2&keywords=bluetooth+car+stereo+amplifier I'd warn against too many functions (bluetooth, backup camera screen) through a single, cheaper headunit - too many reasons for UI to not function properly in the long run. Have you looked at a standalone backup camera solution?: https://www.amazon.com/LeeKooLuu-Reverse-Camera-Monitor-Vision/dp/B0167ZKAK6/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1477577593&sr=8-9&keywords=backup+camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
