Hi guys, I current have the wireless AA/CarPlay retrofit running on my car, and very happy with it thus far.

However my interest has piqued in android touch screen after doing a few installs in some BMWs recently.
Now I must start off with the disclaimer that the only reason I am considering the android screen is so that I can run CarPlay but with a touch interface, larger screen and move away from the MMI knob dependancy.

Looks a lot nicer on the BMW wider screens, (more apps in a row and dashboard view looks stunning, almost 2 full-sized A5 screens side by side) - Absolutely not interested in the Android OS or playing YouTube/googlemaps/4G capability etc.

Generally the RHD units are harder to come by and more expensive.
Whats the general consensus regarding the differences?

Which CarPlay unit are you using? I’m looking at that option but like you I don’t want the Android UI apps etc.

I’m Using the carlink one.

to be perfectly honest i think they are all the same thing, just branded differently when companies make a bulk order large enough.
