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?
