I ordered this head unit to replace the stock unit in my 2016 FRS. This head unit is leaps better than the touch screen unit from factory.

I spent a long time comparing android units to determine which one was best for me. As having a newer car, I wanted to make sure that I would be able to retain every function on my car.
Quality:
The front glass panel looks very clean, similar to what you’d find in factory cars. Performance is quick (4GB Rom/64GB Ram) .
Installation:
With the proper adapters, I was able to get my OEM USB, OEM Backup Camera and OEM Subwoofer working. As for the mounting, this head unit isn’t your conventional head unit that has a deep back. The backing on this head unit is shallow. For my dash trim, I took the L brackets given and mounted them to my original brackets using wing nuts and bolts, allowing me to adjust how far in and out from the dash the head unit was.

The car stereo usually comes with a touch screen to control an in-dash car stereo, and it is also called as “head unit”, “ car radio”, “car DVD player”, and “ sat nav”. You may tell the functions of a car stereo from these names, speaker, radio, navigation, CD/ DVD player, which are the most basic functions you can find on the radio of a car. (if you are looking for a cost-efficient unit, WinCE OS-based car stereo may suit your requirement well.)

Despite the WinCE or Android OS, Bluetooth connectivity is listed on the major functions of a car stereo to provide users the easy and cozy driving time. Music streaming, hands-free calling, and phonebook access and sync are all available thanks to the Bluetooth function.

Some other people call the car stereo as an infotainment system, or multimedia car player, as many other functions are possessed in such a unit. For example, smartphone mirror-link, steering wheel audio control, USB/ SD card input, reverse camera display. The Android OS-based stereo offers you free downloading options and more powerful functions if your budget allows. Popular functions including Android Auto/ Apple CarPlay driving assistant, DAB+ digital radio, OBD car diagnostic tool, are integrated or optional.

All in all, any functions that may help to make your driving comfier, safer, and smarter, the car stereo manufactures are all taken into serious consideration.

Do remember to check your original car radio height (1 Din or 2 Din) before picking the size of the display screen if you want the new car stereo can be fit perfectly.

Google Maps is a usual application developed by Google. It offers satellite imagery, aerial photography, street maps, 360° interactive panoramic views of streets (Street View), real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for traveling by foot, car, bicycle and air (in beta), or public transportation. To get easy, it adds “Ok Google” voice command activation for hands-free directions. This is very helpful especially when driving. Pumpkin head units also support the google maps voice control.

To use the Google Maps voice control feature on the head units, you need to pair your mobile phones to your vehicles. Generally, Bluetooth and AutoPlay dongle are the two different kinds of connections. After connection, you can open the navigation and start to use the voice control to the app to take you somewhere.
