Have you made any progress?


Just another alternative which is the root I took. Forget an Android head unit. They all seem to be years behind phines/tablets and are generally extortionate.

In my last car, A Ford focus mkii, I installed a factory looking centre console build that held a nexus 7. This linked via Bluetooth to a head unit stored behind, within the centre dash. It used my phones hotspot for data. That meant I had music and all the capability of a decent tablet in the car. It looked great and worked really well. You would just need a way of switching back to phone to make your calls.

FYI I have just bought a B8 and am looking to do the same, though I may use a spare phone for the "head unit" but haven't decided yet. You might not believe it but I have the Chorus Stereo which is even more basic than yours, no aux, tel and no steering wheel controls.

I'm just starting the process so I'll keep you posted.
