[QUOTE="Kev Gambrell, post: 1870961, member: 31581"] I installed the Autotec Unit. It was a little more difficult than the older unit because it had 2 4G antennas. I did not install the microphone and google on the android responded to my request I think through the screen microphone. Everything went well and I hotspot to my cell phone and Youtube, Google, Backcountry Navigation, Pandora, Trailforks and Garmin Connect loaded quickly and the screen looked nice. The audio sounded much better than the original radio when using the Android DSP. As for the video being cropped in VLC, this was resolved by just pressing the screen bracket icon and the movie played within the screen without cropping. The icons on top were easy to customize and rearrange. I haven't connected wireless Android Auto, but will be trying that in the next few days. As for screen resolution the Android App version (APPver) stated that it was running in 1920 x 1200. I am not sure if this is software setting and later it can be adjusted to 2560 x 1440. That is very concerning and I may call Autotec to get more information. With regard to bluetooth, I am having trouble connecting. I haven't been able to use my phone on the unit as of yet, but I think it is just my learning curve. I am also trying to figure out how to do split screen. Haven't figured it out yet. Overall I am very pleased and I hope in the next few days I will be able to resolve bluetooth, screen resolution issue and split screen. I know that I will probably rarely use the console and will not likely use Android Auto, because all of my apps are already on the radio (kinda pointless to have that redundancy when you can source it from the unit).
