I think if you do that you will lose access to may displays including the hybrid. These head units are very much integrated into the Vehicle. I suspect you may have the RT6 or RD5 system fitted which is behind the fascia and the controls of which (in the case of the RT6) are on the central console for remote control and the radio functions on the fascia. None of these will likely work if you try and replace it with an android unit.
