Well, you’re in luck, because the world of car Android head unit is moving fast. You can get your car set up with some great new technology to revolutionize your driving experience. Getting you a car radio replacement is simple and easy. But which car head unit should you get?

Let’s walk through what makes the best car head unit for you.

Size and Dimensions

There are two different sizes of car head units on offer. You will either need a single DIN, or a double DIN. Single DIN is for older cars that currently have older radios fitted in them. These will be the slightly smaller radios with a CD player and a small screen. If you’re looking to replace the radio in a newer car, you will probably be looking at a double DIN. These are for replacing newer radios, which have larger screens. Besides that, customized special car head units are more popular nowadays which keep the car original OEM looking.

Android Auto and Apple Carplay

These two systems are must haves for anyone looking at buying a new car Android head unit. They make your driving experience far safer, and allow you to run your car through your phone. Nearly all Android car head unit supports Apple Carplay and Android Auto function.

Touch Screen

The best car head units come with touch screen. Not only are these extremely cool, they are actually really important for your safety. Whilst you shouldn’t really be looking at a screen while driving at all, most of us do. Replacing your car radio with a head unit that has touch screen capabilities can really help to keep you safe. They are much easier to use, and stop you from having to fiddle around. When you can easily see and hit the button that you are looking for you are much less likely to crash.

Bluetooth

Another great feature that comes with the best car head unit technology is Bluetooth capabilities. This means that you don’t even need to connect your phone to the head unit with a cable, because they can connect wireless. You can play music and make phone calls without even needing to use a wire.

Front View And Rear View Camera

A great feature of the best car head units is having camera. Dash cams are an incredibly useful feature to have. They mean that if anything happens whilst driving, you have it all caught on camera. If someone slams on the breaks in front of you and you hit them, you can prove that it was their fault. This could solve a lot of problems out on the road.
Reversing cameras are also a great idea. Many of use have trouble reversing and parking, so having a camera in the back of the car is extremely helpful.

GPS Navigation

We all get lost sometimes, and occasionally we don’t have enough data to find a map on our phones. That’s where having a GPS system built into your car head unit is extremely useful. You will never get lost or be late again with a GPS navigation system built into your car. This is a definite must for anyone looking to buy a new car head unit.

Steering Wheel Control Support

Steering wheel support is a definite must have. This helps you to maintain control of the steering wheel at all times. It is a great safety feature and is definitely worth having. Thanks to the modern car head units, most of them support steering wheel controls.

How to Connect Apple Carplay and Android Auto USB with Aftermarket Car Head Unit

Nowadays the most practical feature for the aftermarket Android head unit may be adding carplay to the car, compared with just adding navigation system to the car a few years ago. Driving with carplay function is safer and more convenient on the road, because you are able to control music playing, maps and even other apps conveniently by touch screen on the aftermarket screen unit.

Carplay is with Siri voice control, so you can focus on driving and also use the Apple iPhone functions on the display screen at the same time.

When you are planing to upgrade the factory radio system with aftermarket Android head unit, adding the carplay option can bring you more convenience and carplay is a cost-effective product.

Is it easy to connect and make carplay working? The answer is yes. Let’s take a wired apple carplay USB device for example.

As you can see, it looks like a USB device but it’s built-in Apple carplay function which also supports Android auto, so it supports both iPhone and Android phone.

Connect Carplay with iPhone

Firstly you should prepare a original USB cable for your iPhone, the original USB cable for charging is ok, because some aftermarket USB cables may not be compatible, so we highly recommend you using a original USB cable to connect your iPhone.

After connected your iPhone with the Android head unit and carplay device, you can click AutoPlay app from the Android unit, if you don’t have this AutoPlay app installed, you can contact us, we will send the apk file to you for free. This AutoPlay app is easy to install, just like the other apps installation.

Then the screen will display it’s connecting, wait for a few seconds, finally connected successfully.

Connect Carplay with Android phone

You will need to download Android auto app from Google play-store in order to use this carplay device with your Android phone. After you installed the Android auto in your phone, you will need to enter settings, open the developer options, turn on USB debugging, connect the USB cable, allow USB debugging. It may remind you to install some other related google apps, this can help to run the Android auto app properly. The same as connecting carplay with iPhone, you’d better use a original USB cable to connect your Android phone, after connected, you are able to control music playing, maps, and add other apps.

Compatibility

This Apple carplay USB device is compatible with nearly all aftermarket Android head units. If you order our BMW head unit or head units for other cars, and choose this carplay option, we will install AutoPlay app for you while testing before shipping. So after installation of the Android unit, you can easily connect the carplay.

Solution For No Sound After Installed BMW E60 Android Head Unit

Are you trying to install an aftermarket BMW E60 Android head unit but no sound comes out from music or video playing while testing? The sound from factory radio and CD player works well, just no sound from Android screen. Don’t worry, if you follow instructions provided in this post, you can get sound with this solution.

How To Find Out The Exact Problem?

Check original AUXFirstly you should know that the sound from Android screen transfers to car speakers through original aux mode, so if there’s no sound, the first thing you need to check is your aux, does your aux work well now? You can use a aux cable to connect your phone with the aux jack in the armrest, then play music with your phone, and check if the sound from your phone comes out from car speakers, if yes, that means your aux works now.
Check original 3 AUX wires

The next step is checking Aux wires from original wiring harness behind the factory radio and CD. Make sure your aux wires match the new aux wires in the same position. Few BMW E60 comes with aux wires in different position or without aux wires from the plug behind the radio. You can check our aux wires from our plug as below:

Our aux wires are with red, white, and black color, 3 wires in a group. Compare your plug with our new plug to check the 3 aux wires in the same position. If your aux wires are not matched, or your plug does not have aux wires, then you can try our solutions.

This picture shows you the original wiring diagram from BMW E60 E61 radio module M-ASK and CCC.

Check connector B, pin#2 is AUX Left audio, pin#7 is AUX right audio, pin#8 is AUX ground.

So you can check if your aux wires are in the position as above. If not, you can move them to the same position as above. While if there’s no aux wires from your plug as below:

Here are 2 solutions for you.

First solution:

This is easier, you can buy a aux adapter cable from us. So you can connect it directly with your aux jack in the armrest or at the rear of armrest, which means our unit connects to your aux directly without modifying wires.

Second solution:

Since you have already known how does the sound work, and know you will need to connect your aux with our aux wires, you can also splice our 3 aux wires from the blue plug and connect them with a aux cable.

Splice red, white and black wires, connect them with a cable as below. Then connect that cable to your aux jack.

Feedback from one of our customers in Norway:

I sort thing out. Must mods the black, white and red plug from your unit harness into a aux cable. Then connect its to my aux in inn the armrest. I got sound in that way.

For customers in Dublin, Northern California, USA, close to San Francisco, we have a recommended shop for you. They have already tried and proved the second solution successfully.

If you have any questions, you can leave a comment below or contact us directly.
