Aftermarket in-dash multimedia and navigation systems running the Android operating system, featuring touchscreen displays, GPS, and smartphone integration for various vehicle models.
Android Car Stereo refers to a wide range of aftermarket automotive head units powered by the Android operating system. Designed to upgrade or replace factory-installed radios, these devices bring modern smart functionality to older vehicles. They typically feature high-definition touchscreens, built-in GPS navigation, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and music streaming, and Wi-Fi capabilities.
These units are often marketed as vehicle-specific solutions—customized to fit the dashboard contours of brands like Nissan, Jeep, Audi, and Kia—or as universal Double DIN systems. Key features frequently include support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rearview camera inputs, steering wheel control retention, and the ability to download apps directly from the Google Play Store. While manufactured by various white-label electronics producers, they share a common interface and architecture centered around providing a tablet-like experience in the car.

You can reset the machine by pressing the physical 'RST' (Reset) button on the panel with a pointed object like a paperclip. Alternatively, navigate to System Settings and select 'Restore Factory Settings' to return the software to its initial state.
For safety and legal compliance, video playback is disabled while the vehicle is in motion to prevent driver distraction. This is a standard safety feature hardwired into the system.
No, most Android Car Stereos are designed for 12V DC vehicle systems (standard cars). Installing the unit in a 24V vehicle (such as heavy trucks or buses) without a voltage reducer will damage the device.
Connect the camera's yellow RCA cable to the 'CAM IN' or 'REVERSE IN' port on the back of the stereo. The red trigger wire on the RCA cable must be connected to the vehicle's reverse light positive wire and the 'Back/Reverse' trigger wire on the stereo harness.
Connect the steering wheel control (SWC) wires (often labeled Key1 and Key2) to your vehicle's SWC wires. Then, open the 'Steering Wheel' app on the head unit to map the buttons to their functions.
