My New Project is to find a new Android Radio for my vehicles that works with ALP Connect to eliminate needing your smart phone. These radio's are pretty sweet....
Having some rendering issues... But these radios are packed with features.

That'd be sweet, would they be able to retain the OEM info from the nav system and vehicle service info?

Depends on the vehicle. It was hard finding an Android stereo for the vehicle with Android 4.4.2 or newer and had to get this one directly from China. This will be very common in the comming months though and having ALP Connect run directly from the head unit is very cool and stealth.

Yeah, I think I might have a more difficult time finding one that allow the stock features to integrate. Ours has a hard drive for music storage and the nav info, plus there's the back up camera to figure out, etc, etc. I'd really like that type of set up though when I finally get around to an ALP on the cage. Good reason to upgrade rides eh?
Being able to run ALPConnect and Waze split screen with YaV1 pop up boxes on a bigger screen in the factory location would be a really nice set up.
Is this going into your Caddy?

No... GMC Acadia. For the Caddy there is an Android hack I have been looking at.

Cadillac Cue system runs on Linux and some folks overseas have already been able to create a dual boot to run Android or the Cue system. Issue for me is they so far only have been able to support Android 4.2 and we need a later version of Android to support ALP Connect.
