Swap RD45 to Android?

[GF1969]

I'm simply looking for dab but was wondering if something like this is doable or is it going to be a ball ache?

Am I better off using something like this and keeping the standard setup?

Obviously the second option is cheaper and the first option has way more features than I'd ever use but I'm not a fan of 'stuck on' extras, I prefer built in stuff that looks like it was meant to be there. Or an I missing a simpler solution (I.e is there a factory dab i can slot in and activate in diagbox?)

Thank you!

Beware that most Android head units are not compatible with the CAN bus in your car, and you may lose the use of the steering wheel controls, and also functions of the central display that are normally controlled via the radio buttons (vehicle lighting options, clock setting, etc.).

I have seen this video (see especially from 17 minutes in) showing a head unit which is (or was) can bus compatible, so you should ask some questions before purchasing.

Im awaiting delivery of an android HU for my C5 X7. Should be here this week.
Much in the vein of the one xantia_v6 posted,its 'designed' for the specific model. In the C5s case a separate head unit and screen.
Should have it installed this week to feedback how it works with canbus,steering controls etc.
In my case its replacing an RD4

Did you get anywhere with this? I'm contemplating a Joying HU because they claim a canbus adaptor that works with parking sensors.

The only thing stopping me is that I don't want to loose the parking space measurement feature - actually really useful!

I just got parking sensors working with Joying after one faulty sensor changed. It seems a bit "slow" at first, but I have to test it more extensively. Also haven´t yet seen front sensors working with Joying, but I might have settings wrong for that.
