Best Double Din for Android Phone
Hello
Hoping to get some advice from someone who knows a bit about car stereos. I have wrx hawkeye sportwagon, best car I've ever had.
Currently have a Pioneer 2400BT which works well with ,iphone. I am getting rid of everything Apple - pissed off with everything they do. So I have bought HTC One.
Will probably need to upgrade my stereo - preferably without causing too much disruption to my car interior
And looks.
Has anybody any advice ? Lookin at Internet he Pioneer AppRadio 2 seems OK, but has very mixed reviews. Would fitting another pioneer unit be a plug and play job?
Thanks for help - hopefully not everyone has been brainwashed by Apple

FonZey - were you able to change tracks and see any track information on the stereo when using our abdroid device. Or did you just get the same results as a 3.5mm jack
MDS-WRX - thanks for feedback. Confirms my fears that it was ****e. Sorry but i have no idea what a parrot asteroid smart is - thought parrot was a just a bluetooth add on. Don't suppose you use a HTC one as well?
Thanks for info !

My phone USB cable is at work, so if I remember I'll test it on my way home tomorrow.

Cheers. Hope you let me know how you get on. Will investigate this smart parrot.
Get the feeling that as apple declines in the next few years that there will a boom in android capable stereos - just not at the moment unfortunately

Asteroid smart looks very good. Would if fit where the 2400bt is without any major work MDS (assume your bad appradio 2 was same size as my 2400bt)?

Sony 601BT is the best double din headunit. The mirrorlink function with android is amazing.
