Android Phone + Car Stereo

[Chief Gump]

Just wondering if anyone in here is up to date on the latest car stereo technology. I am looking for a car stereo that can use all the apps and everything off of your Android phone.

I know Pioneer has one that you can basically project your phone onto the screen of the stereo and control it from there as well. It is model SPH-DA100. From what I read it is a little buggy and I am slightly concerned with the brightness of the screen.

Does anyone else have anything similar? Is there maybe something else I should look into?

get some sort of monitor and hook it up to the hdmi output of your phone (if it has one)

I have a $80 JVC KDX50BT. Got it so I can play music via bluetooth. It's not the greatest b/c bluetooth takes ~30secs to sync but it does the trick. It will also play google Nav and phone calls(comes w/ a mic you can mount on steering wheel) over the stereo, but I really don't use that.

Go to crutchfield.com and look around. Just go to "car receivers" and make sure it has "android control" preferably with bluetooth IMO. A lot of brands work great with iPhone, but Android's getting better support.

I just looked and they have units from $50 to $1400 that have bluetooth control, so yeah dunno your rage, but if you find one go search the model # for reviews. A lot of models will have forum threads devoted to people's questions about using Android with that unit.
