10.1 Android Car Stereo DIY Install
Installing a Android Double Din Car Stereo with GPS, Bluetooth, and WIFI. I really liked how this system updated the look and function of my car’s audio system at a budget friendly price. Even though the Android Car Stereo was easy to install, fitting it in the dash kit proved to be a challenge. You can go straight to the video of the install below or just continue reading.

So Why Go The A Android Stereo
You won’t find a radio like this in your dad’s old truck. It’s jam-packed with features designed to bring your music to the current generation. In addition to all the functions of a regular car stereo, you’ll also have all the features of your smart phone. From videos, navigation, to even monitoring your car’s ECU, this will allow you to do a lot.
Wiring An Android Car Stereo
Wiring an Andriod stereo is pretty easy if you buy the car specific wiring harness. You will notice that the wire colors for the wiring kit will match your Android Car Stereo wiring. It is simply a matter of stripping them off and matching them up. I usually use heat shrink butt connectors and a heat gun when doing this kind of wiring.

Car Dash Kit Was A Little To Snug
Getting the 10.1 Android to fit in the dash kit was a little difficult, but with a razor we managed to make it work. If you have a Double Din Stereo, you’re going to need a dash kit; otherwise, your installation won’t look very professional. The dash kit we got would fit both a double din and a single din radio in a color that matched our dash. Even with shaving it to fit our radio, it looked great.
