Sorry for the late response, guys. It is an Ouku brand head unit. As far as the gps issue in some these head units goes, you will have to return it to the merchant and exchange it. My gps works great now. Love the unit.
I just want to go to a store and get it install. There is a small store where I live in London but they dont do android radios. They only have overpriced semi android radio.
This was either the best head unit review I've seen or a very cleaver way to promote your band lol .. either way I just bought mine after watching this video and now I'm about to look for your band ..great video man 👍
I've been looking into a new stereo for my 2006 C Malibu for a while now. I don't have an auxiliary port and the adapter is annoying. I think this would be a very addition to my car. Thank you for your review my good sir!
I appreciated the review. You did briefly touch on which android os it's running, but it really would have been nice to mention the processor type and speed, and ram as those greatly effect the unit's performance and these android head units vary widely in the hardware options they come with.
My only issue with this is that it will not receive updates after a while .. Meaning certain apps might not work unless you update. I'd hate to see the day Spotify doesn't work 3 years from now because Android 9 was released and my head unit is still stuck on Kit Kat.
Cristian Topsecret Yeah but that can only last so long lol Im just waiting until these things hit 3 gb ram. That should be enough to last a long time. Even though we are just now reaching 2gb.
I might have to get one of these just because my DVD/CD JVC only works with iCrap and i'm a android dude. Thanks for the review I am sold, so I will be getting one next year since my radio is still fairly new. Great review
Joe Mascari thanks, my first unit just wouldn't lock on GPS no matter what I did. It sucked, but they replaced it with a brand new one and now it works just fine. Yes, the back of camera was fairly easy to install.
Like your review on this android. Checked EBay and many on site but a 2017 radio looks likes this says this is a Tacado brand. Hopefully same when I go to buy it. This 2017 also has 16GB where other seller has one with only 8GB. Assume that one is an older model. Thanks for the good review.
Great review scantron5k. Who did you purchase your OK645GA from ? I guess you have had your unit about a year now ? Have any issues arised that require repair ? Did you purchase from a US Seller ? Did he request you send it to him or back to China ? Thanks
@Scantron5k I need your advice please. I have a 2009 mercedes ml350, which only has phone Bluetooth and no media Bluetooth as well as the worst aux connection ever made. I wanted to get the android head unit that's made specifically for this car but some people told me that the sound quality will be crap. I don't have any amps or subwoofers (and I don't intend to).. So, if I just replace the original with the android, will the sound quality be like going from a cd to a cassette (as some discribed it). Thanks.
Thanks for all the great info I found the install worthless I'm pretty good at any thing I just need time identify some terminal wires and there function lol
Ok I'm sure you've said it in the mass of comments but I don't have another hour to skim over the other half of over 800 comments and there is no way to search for words/phrases in the comments. Anyway I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu same style as yours. I saw in one of your comments that you just got the basic wiring harness not the one with onstar or the steering wheel controls. My questions to you are what harness did you use (model) and what features did you lose? Do you still have the warning chimes and alerts sounds and does your car have a mirror with auto-dimming and a compass. I could give a care less about onstar but I definitely would want my mirror to have power for those two features.
I looked but did not see Brand. My looking myself I feel it is a Tocado. Viewed this brand and it is a 6.2 with Marshmallow os. Enjoyed the video but would of liked to know if this model loads your phone contacts. Reading some they say for bluetooth only so not sure if they still load contacts.
my stock car stereo just bit the dust, so I go to look into upgrading and DAMN! This thing is sweet and a great deal! I didn't know we've come this far, haha. anyway, I'm trying to figure out everything before I buy. Are these units 3g and 4g compatible? it all goes through a usb dongle, so either should work, right? When i search for stereos, they all say 3g. I'm leaning towards 4g because a friend has a 3g phone and says its not that fast. I haven't downloaded music in a while so i don't have much of a collection anymore.
+Nabre Labre Hey, sorry for the delay... For some reason I'm not getting notifications! But yes, you can use it with both 3g and 4g dongles, or 3g and 4g wireless hotspot tethering from your phone as I do. Works like a charm. Best head unit I've ever bought. Especially for the price.
Looks great, im really wanting this for my supra. Do they come with presets to choose from for different car brands ? like toyota ? And i see they have the play store which is awesome being able to download apps. I think im going to get this !
scantron5k Thanks ! i have a plan with a standalone ecu in my car that has bluetooth capability. And they have an app you can download on playstore. If i down load it and enable the bluetooth it would be awesome because i then could see all engine vitals on the app in the stereo instead of trying to mount my phone with a small screen.
thank you, i was trying to find something like this I found your post today but bought it yesterday. sucks I can't get it installed I am not really great with the car electronics. But I am a Computer System Networker haha. is it easy to install the backup cam how do you install it also did you setup the steering will configuration?
Hi. I have some questions about it because I'm using similar but Bosion unit, but there is different os. So I have some questions: 1) can you set auto brightness on yours device? 2) can you make the touch sound quieter or only on/off? 3) is there a possibility to redefine physical button like google maps for navi? 4) how does it sound because Bosion is terrible 5) is there a possibility to send files through bluetooth from phone or only a phone bt Mode? 6) do you use original os?
Hey, I downloaded a dimmer app to dim the screen. My touch screen doesn't have any sound to begin with. I have a dedicated nav button on the unit beard the sound on mine was good, but I sold that car a few years ago with the head unit in it. I never tried sending files via Bluetooth or anything like that.
i have a few questions about the player. 1. Is there a highpass and lowpass adjustment. 2. can the usb's that are attached to the back of the player use usb music drives or is it strictly for the 3g network. I love having all my music on regular usb drives. 3. does it have an aux port. thanks a lot for this review im really intrested!
Hey there. I don't have a need for a HP or LP filter, so I can't answer that. I'm sure some googling will answer that for you. As for the USB port, it is labeled 4g, so I'm assuming it's meant only for a data dongle, but I could be wrong. However, it does come with a short usb to micro usb cable that plugs into the front of the unit for that specific purpose. As for the aux, you can easily buy an aux cable that converts to rca, and plug it into the rca inputs on the backside of the unit... but why bother if you can just stream the same apps/music through the head unit using data or bluetooth? Hope this helps!
Im curious on the customization of the home screen. Clocks, icons removed etc. I saw the Panlelo head unit that had a real nice home screen that's interchangeable. thanks
Johan Ludvigsson Thanks! yeah, we've been on a hiatus for a few years but we're doing a new album this year. Our last album was on Solid State records titled "Dynasty." We toured on it for a while but we're feeling even better about this new record.
I believe that we spoke previously, 1st time was 2 years ago & another time, 3 years ago about your Ouku 2-din, I had purchased the same head unit for my focus well, I ordered another dash kit to transplant it into a Pontiac G5 & I am on my 2nd dash kit, The 1st one that I ordered is a Xscorpion CD KIT (model GM-K0410DD), IT is to big yet, The beauty ring, Is to small to fit onto the face of the Ouku & snap into the dash kit. You can see a gap all around it without the beauty ring! The second kit is a Metra 95-3302 which has a solid, 1-piece face so, I AM WONDERING WHAT DASH KIT YOU USED? Also, How you trimmed your dash kit? With the Pontiac needing a interface plus, purchasing 2 installation kits w/wiring harness, I should have just purchased a package deal that includes steering wheel controls, remote, cam, & a newer head unit!!!
thanks to your review, I got the same one few weeks ago, got it installed and so far I'm liking it. kinda low on the treble tones but my oem speakers were made for mid to high no bass (96 explorer Eddie Bauer of you know anything about that wiring nightmare lol) couple questions if I may, what's the password for developer options and in order to out my own photos on it for the background, can I use the SD card that I have my tunes on? the one connected at the front. and the other SD slot on left side, what is that one for? I was told GPS but what GPS files should I load to make it work? I don't use my phone on it unless for calls and tethering wifi. great review! thanks! oh and TH-cam is awesome on road trips lol
+Kurtis Toycen Gald you like it! Yes, you can use the pics from the same sd card as your tunes to set a backround image. The password for the advanced setting is: 123456. And lastly, the sd card slot on the left is a dummy slot... it can't be used for anything.
+scantron5k I've tried that password but still won't let me in. it's still the 4.4.4 version. regardless, this is one of the best operating stereos I've ever had fit the cost. oh and I found an equalizer app to add more treble and bass for a better sound quality. is called equalizer (who'd have thought) made by Smart Android Apps LLC. in case you wanted to check it out. thanks again!
Great Review! This sold me on this unit. Only problem is for the life of me i can't get it to bluetooth sink with an OBDII connector so i can use torque. It pairs with my phone (Android) and my wife phone (Apple) just fine. Have you gotten it to pair with OBDII connectors?
scantron5k Cool thanks. :) And do you use the calling/texting features often? Do they work alright? Haha sorry for all the questions, I'm just thinking about buying this.
Thank you for the details. You've been a great help! I think I'm gonna get this for my old Acura to modernize it a little, plus I've always been a big fan of android. :)
ordered the pumpkin android 7" head unit yesterday, looking forward to it. it will top off my alfa romeo spider very nicely indeed! does anyone have a recent pumpkin head unit? are they good? pioneer look like the daddies, but pumpkin are better value for what looks to be a similar spec, and equally positive reviews.
just had my Pioneer avh3500 permanently borrowed from me. Great video! Mostly use Google Play account and handsfree phone with Samsung S5. Handsfree phone?
hey bud nice tutorial I been thinkering on an upgrade for my old system, man these units do everything I always wanted in my car, I also have the grandfathered in unlimited from Att but I can't tether my phone and that is the only think holding me back from getting one of these units is there any hints you can throw at me and will I need an android phone to do it cause I'm still rocking my iphone4 but if need I will upgrade it
+The Noid Yeah man, not too sure about iPhone, but you can root an Android (like I did) and download a tether hack that allows you to use your mobile hotspot with unlimited data. Good luck!
Thank you for the video it was very good, can you tell me what version of android is it running and have you ever looked into updating to a later version? Thanks you for your time
I love your review, but I can't seem to find the same stereo you have. Do you have a direct link? I looked up the model number you posted in the comments, but its a windows stereo. Thanks!
+kyle Sheridan Sorry, the ebay link I used to buy mine is no longer available. You can find them all over on ebay though. Just type in Android Radio Double Din.
@@jkeppler88 if you are referring to The back-up camera, it came with the unit. If you are referring to the wiring harness, I purchased it at Best Buy. It was about $75.
Did you have a ISO cabel with it that was plug and play? Because everything i find is without ISO cabel what i can see on the photo's so i have to connect the cabels my self
I don't have the same head unit but here's my question! I bought a similar system with back up camera, I talked to a tech at Mickey Shores about the after market wiring harness, and he stated that I HAVE to buy an additional module for $129 due to the fact that the vehicle has on star! Did you have to purchase an additional module or did you just use the standard after market harness?
do you still have this unit ? mines worked fine except youtube I could hear it but the screen looked like it was bleeding you know like when you bust your phone but other than that worked good but I switched to A Xrross with no disc player at all just all screen its koo AF I have a few videos on it take a look they are not as detailed as yours good job on your review boss
Thanks. It may get in the way of my climate control on a 02 Vette. The car really needs an upgrade from the 1.5 din cassette player lol. It seems like the name brand units pay royalty's and that really jacks up the price. I'm bidding on one now. Do you ever wish you would have gotten a 7" screen unit?.
Thanks again. The fact that you are happy with this unit after a year and a half speaks volumes. For the price it is worth a try (to see if it fits). There may be a depth issue too. I was considering the shallower non disc player but yours seems to be tried and true. Thanks again from Jax Fl.
For the GPS to work, did you have to install anything such as a 4G sim card or a GPS antenna, or anything else that would not be included in the package?
I have the same unit, for the gps antenna it came with long cable that screws into back of unit with an external piece with adhesive to mount, where did you mount yours?
"I'm gonna back out of this cause I don't know what's going to pop up " lmao man that was unexpected. subscribing 🙊🙉🙈
alfredo pelayo Hahaha
Yeah. That was when I hit the like button.
HA! Me too!!!
Sorry for the late response, guys. It is an Ouku brand head unit. As far as the gps issue in some these head units goes, you will have to return it to the merchant and exchange it. My gps works great now. Love the unit.
I got the unit but I can't get TH-cam to work can you help
yes, it's reasonably easy... there is a cable provided, plus you have to tap into your reverse lights to tell the unit to activate it when in reverse.
I just want to go to a store and get it install. There is a small store where I live in London but they dont do android radios. They only have overpriced semi android radio.
Bummer!
I just looked at apple carplay,it is that good
This was either the best head unit review I've seen or a very cleaver way to promote your band lol .. either way I just bought mine after watching this video and now I'm about to look for your band ..great video man 👍
joey griffin pls can u share we the website...wre I can purchase this set
I've been looking into a new stereo for my 2006 C Malibu for a while now. I don't have an auxiliary port and the adapter is annoying. I think this would be a very addition to my car. Thank you for your review my good sir!
no problem!
just found out these existed might get one
brockf5 hi brock do have the where to buy this car stereo? please send me the link and thanks
Jose
love the musics you have more than the head unit.. lol
\m/
Dennis Mart Thanks!
love the band there fella.
wouldn't mind hearing some more. vocals and drums sound great
Thanks for the props, dude. Band's name is As They Sleep. Google/Spotify should give you everything you need to know!
I appreciated the review. You did briefly touch on which android os it's running, but it really would have been nice to mention the processor type and speed, and ram as those greatly effect the unit's performance and these android head units vary widely in the hardware options they come with.
My only issue with this is that it will not receive updates after a while .. Meaning certain apps might not work unless you update. I'd hate to see the day Spotify doesn't work 3 years from now because Android 9 was released and my head unit is still stuck on Kit Kat.
dude just go on xda forum and download a custom firmware with lollipop 5.1 for free!
Cristian Topsecret Yeah but that can only last so long lol Im just waiting until these things hit 3 gb ram. That should be enough to last a long time. Even though we are just now reaching 2gb.
at least you have good taste in music👍
nice review got the radio oslo do you no how the firmware upgrade works and where to get the tanks
I might have to get one of these just because my DVD/CD JVC only works with iCrap and i'm a android dude. Thanks for the review I am sold, so I will be getting one next year since my radio is still fairly new. Great review
Thanks! you'll love it.
Did anyone ever tell you that your voice sounds like Seth Rogan? not trying to insult you or anything, just an observation.
+Dominique Hebert Haha- yes. I've heard that a few times. Not insulted at all.
+scantron5k cool.
Maybe you are Seth Rogan :P, can you test this launcher on that radio? play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orhanyapici.autoui
what is the brand and model of this double din ,and how can i buy one?
Not to be rude but doesnt it appear hes putting too much emphasis on words at times? Which is a bit annoying...But good video otherwise thanks
7:20 what got me to press like.
Ha. Thanks.
Great Review! I was on the fence. Now I'm Sold!
Thanks!
Can you control it by the steering wheel controls ?
probably one of the better reviews i`ve seen. what was your original gps issue? Also is it fairly easy to install the back up camera? Thanks
Joe Mascari thanks, my first unit just wouldn't lock on GPS no matter what I did. It sucked, but they replaced it with a brand new one and now it works just fine. Yes, the back of camera was fairly easy to install.
Thanks for thee video and for the music ;)
I did not know the Ring of Saturn, they're sound great.
Thank you
Does it link to Sirius radio if you have a subscription? Can you plug the sat antenna into it?
Like your review on this android. Checked EBay and many on site but a 2017 radio looks likes this says this is a Tacado brand. Hopefully same when I go to buy it. This 2017 also has 16GB where other seller has one with only 8GB. Assume that one is an older model. Thanks for the good review.
Thank you! Great video. You were very detail.
Great review, thanks.
Does the processor keep up with your tasks. I mean does navigation or other tasts ever lag?
Yes, keeps up just fine.
+scantron5k awesome, appreciate the response.
Great review scantron5k. Who did you purchase your OK645GA from ? I guess you have had your unit about a year now ? Have any issues arised that require repair ? Did you purchase from a US Seller ? Did he request you send it to him or back to China ? Thanks
ebay, 1yr, no, no, and it would go to a US shipping facility.
@Scantron5k I need your advice please.
I have a 2009 mercedes ml350, which only has phone Bluetooth and no media Bluetooth as well as the worst aux connection ever made. I wanted to get the android head unit that's made specifically for this car but some people told me that the sound quality will be crap. I don't have any amps or subwoofers (and I don't intend to).. So, if I just replace the original with the android, will the sound quality be like going from a cd to a cassette (as some discribed it).
Thanks.
Awesome review ,thanks!
This car audio support steering wheel control?
Thanks for all the great info I found the install worthless I'm pretty good at any thing I just need time identify some terminal wires and there function lol
nice video thx for the information
btw greetings from germany
Ok I'm sure you've said it in the mass of comments but I don't have another hour to skim over the other half of over 800 comments and there is no way to search for words/phrases in the comments. Anyway I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu same style as yours. I saw in one of your comments that you just got the basic wiring harness not the one with onstar or the steering wheel controls.

Do you still have the warning chimes and alerts sounds and does your car have a mirror with auto-dimming and a compass. I could give a care less about onstar but I definitely would want my mirror to have power for those two features.
I looked but did not see Brand. My looking myself I feel it is a Tocado. Viewed this brand and it is a 6.2 with Marshmallow os. Enjoyed the video but would of liked to know if this model loads your phone contacts. Reading some they say for bluetooth only so not sure if they still load contacts.
alficando Yes, it loads contacts.
Just ordered one... Supernatural great video bro..
Lol!
Are you able to connect amplifier for your subwoofer?
What is the slot on the top left ? like the one on the right which you can put in the SD card
You said you liked the sound quality better than stock . Did you change any of your speakers or just the head unit ?
Just the head unit.
my stock car stereo just bit the dust, so I go to look into upgrading and DAMN! This thing is sweet and a great deal!

how do you pick up phone calls?can you use starring wheels control.
Looks great, im really wanting this for my supra.
Do they come with presets to choose from for different car brands ? like toyota ?
And i see they have the play store which is awesome being able to download apps. I think im going to get this !
Yes, you can totally set it up with a Toyota logo. I'm sure you'll love it!
scantron5k Thanks ! i have a plan with a standalone ecu in my car that has bluetooth capability. And they have an app you can download on playstore. If i down load it and enable the bluetooth it would be awesome because i then could see all engine vitals on the app in the stereo instead of trying to mount my phone with a small screen.
Really cool video, I am on the process to buy one pf those videos, and your vide helped me a lot !
Zouhair Benazzouz Thanks!
thank you, i was trying to find something like this I found your post today but bought it yesterday. sucks I can't get it installed I am not really great with the car electronics. But I am a Computer System Networker haha. is it easy to install the backup cam how do you install it also did you setup the steering will configuration?
Rashawn Harrison no problem, and yes, I did install the backup camera and it is easy to do. Just follow the instructions in the box.

dude your video is the only great review on these because when I'm looking for the review of the device all i get was Devs.
Thanks man!
Hey two questions, 1. what is the name of this and 2. is it still good for this year?
+TheLamerLinux It's an Ouku, and yes, it's doing great.
Alright thank you
i have a few questions about the player. 1. Is there a highpass and lowpass adjustment. 2. can the usb's that are attached to the back of the player use usb music drives or is it strictly for the 3g network.

Raul Nieves Yes, you can customize your screen to your liking. You can also use different launchers, etc.
what brand and model is this ?does it have screen mirroring optio for cellphones?is the screen capacitive or resistive?
Nice music your band produces! Can't believe u don't have more listeners on spotify.
Johan Ludvigsson Thanks! yeah, we've been on a hiatus for a few years but we're doing a new album this year. Our last album was on Solid State records titled "Dynasty." We toured on it for a while but we're feeling even better about this new record.
great visual review, thanks for sharing
does it suport ANALOG TV FUNCTION? atv still works in my country so i want to know if this radio supports ir
Good review.
Many of these Chinese units seem to break down after a while. If you still have your car, is yours still running?
hello! nice review! how is your head-unit holding up? any problems with it? thanks!
Silviu Gheorghe Thanks! works flawlessly!
That HU is cool. I may get one.
Great video. Did you have to buy a dash kit separately or it came with it?
Thanks. I had to buy it separately.
Thank you.
Do you have a video on the installation process?
I wish!
Awesome in depth review sir. THnx
No problemo! Thanks for watching.
Hi ..great video
Did you get any RCA humming sound ? or did you connect output directly without amplifier ?
thanks again
sorry, I never hooked up an amp, so I can't comment on that.
Kunal Arora did you run cables for power on opo side of rca's
listening to your band kicks ass
+Larry Juergens Thanks bro!
Will that system fit my 2002 Ford Explorer XLT?
youre a champ! thanks mate
I believe that we spoke previously, 1st time was 2 years ago & another time, 3 years ago about your Ouku 2-din, I had purchased the same head unit for my focus well, I ordered another dash kit to transplant it into a Pontiac G5 & I am on my 2nd dash kit, The 1st one that I ordered is a Xscorpion CD KIT (model GM-K0410DD), IT is to big yet, The beauty ring, Is to small to fit onto the face of the Ouku & snap into the dash kit. You can see a gap all around it without the beauty ring! The second kit is a Metra 95-3302 which has a solid, 1-piece face so, I AM WONDERING WHAT DASH KIT YOU USED? Also, How you trimmed your dash kit? With the Pontiac needing a interface plus, purchasing 2 installation kits w/wiring harness, I should have just purchased a package deal that includes steering wheel controls, remote, cam, & a newer head unit!!!
That sucks man… I can't remember the brand, but I can tell you that I cut it from the back by scoring it over and over with a razor knife.
were you able to use the factory mic ir did you have to use the one that car with the head unit?
Ashleigh Wooddell I use the mic on the head unit when I use it.
thanks to your review, I got the same one few weeks ago, got it installed and so far I'm liking it. kinda low on the treble tones but my oem speakers were made for mid to high no bass (96 explorer Eddie Bauer of you know anything about that wiring nightmare lol) couple questions if I may, what's the password for developer options and in order to out my own photos on it for the background, can I use the SD card that I have my tunes on? the one connected at the front. and the other SD slot on left side, what is that one for?

Great Review! This sold me on this unit. Only problem is for the life of me i can't get it to bluetooth sink with an OBDII connector so i can use torque. It pairs with my phone (Android) and my wife phone (Apple) just fine. Have you gotten it to pair with OBDII connectors?
MrBrewmeister1 Sorry, I haven't. But thank you for the review props!
very cool unit and great video, great info sir thanks alot
+Luis Orlando You're welcome!
Well done video bruh ! 👍 I'm sold !
Thanks!
+scantron5k Anytime ! 🍻
Awesome review! I'm sold. :) I was wondering though, are you using a custom launcher or is that the one that came with it?
+ILikeTrainsKid1122 It's the stock launcher.
scantron5k Cool thanks. :) And do you use the calling/texting features often? Do they work alright? Haha sorry for all the questions, I'm just thinking about buying this.
I use a bluetooth headset, but the calling is OK when synced to the unit. It's an awesome head unit for the price and its capabilities.
Thank you for the details. You've been a great help! I think I'm gonna get this for my old Acura to modernize it a little, plus I've always been a big fan of android. :)
No problem! Hope you enjoy it.
It's a multitouch screen? like a phone, or you have to put preasure on the screen to works?
cesar rene cruz medrano yes, it works just like a cell phone screen. Pinch zoom and everything.
Metal Head huh? Hell yeah!
ordered the pumpkin android 7" head unit yesterday, looking forward to it. it will top off my alfa romeo spider very nicely indeed! does anyone have a recent pumpkin head unit? are they good? pioneer look like the daddies, but pumpkin are better value for what looks to be a similar spec, and equally positive reviews.
Ryan Bonner No idea, but it sounds awesome!
just had my Pioneer avh3500 permanently borrowed from me. Great video! Mostly use Google Play account and handsfree phone with Samsung S5. Handsfree phone?
yessir!
hey bud nice tutorial I been thinkering on an upgrade for my old system, man these units do everything I always wanted in my car, I also have the grandfathered in unlimited from Att but I can't tether my phone and that is the only think holding me back from getting one of these units is there any hints you can throw at me and will I need an android phone to do it cause I'm still rocking my iphone4 but if need I will upgrade it
+The Noid Yeah man, not too sure about iPhone, but you can root an Android (like I did) and download a tether hack that allows you to use your mobile hotspot with unlimited data. Good luck!
scantron5k thanks for getting back at me will do
Hi scantron. Very nice explanation!!! Please can you share the exact model of head Unit car or where to buy it? and dask kit unit too. Thanks for all.
he said "i'm going to back out because i don't know whats going to pop up." Lmao
I'm curious does a iphone work with this double din like if you use the mobile hotspot, bluetooth calls everthing else since it's a android unit?
Yes, it does.
after using for almost a year now, would you recommend this product for the rest of us?
Yep, still works perfectly.
Good video thanks for everything
So are you still using this unit and does it still work? Wondering about it's longevity. Thanks!
Benjamin Lester yep!
Thank you for the video it was very good, can you tell me what version of android is it running and have you ever looked into updating to a later version?
Thanks you for your time
CM Will Thank you! Yes, it's 4.1.1. I haven't really cared to update it to be honest. Suits my needs as is.
Is there a way to plug in Ipad for 10inch display for movie watching so the sound still goes through car speakers
I have no idea, but I'm sure there is a way.
thanks and do u think it can fit in a 02 camry
Rozay Cromartie No idea. You'll have to look it up.
Hey, does this unit support steering wheel control? Have you hooked yours up?
Saaif Khan Yes, but I don't have steering controls.
I love your review, but I can't seem to find the same stereo you have. Do you have a direct link? I looked up the model number you posted in the comments, but its a windows stereo. Thanks!
+kyle Sheridan Sorry, the ebay link I used to buy mine is no longer available. You can find them all over on ebay though. Just type in Android Radio Double Din.
at night can we switch off the display, while music continues??
Hey I was wondering did they send you a wiring harness and is the back up camera wireless or do you your the oem
They didn't send a wiring harness. And the backup cam is wired.
The one you had in video that plugs in back of radio where did you get it or did it have a part number I can look up
@@jkeppler88 if you are referring to The back-up camera, it came with the unit. If you are referring to the wiring harness, I purchased it at Best Buy. It was about $75.
were you able to keep all of your steering wheel controls?
I didn't have any radio controls on my steering well to begin with. From what I understand, it's very doable.
Did you have a ISO cabel with it that was plug and play? Because everything i find is without ISO cabel what i can see on the photo's so i have to connect the cabels my self
I bought a wiring harness specific to the make/model of my car.
I don't have the same head unit but here's my question! I bought a similar system with back up camera, I talked to a tech at Mickey Shores about the after market wiring harness, and he stated that I HAVE to buy an additional module for $129 due to the fact that the vehicle has on star! Did you have to purchase an additional module or did you just use the standard after market harness?
Lance Riplett II I just used a standard aftermarket one. Don't listen to them.
scantron5k Sweet, thanks man. My wife is on my ass about installing it in her car! Weekend Project. Thanks
do you still have this unit ? mines worked fine except youtube I could hear it but the screen looked like it was bleeding you know like when you bust your phone but other than that worked good but I switched to A Xrross with no disc player at all just all screen its koo AF I have a few videos on it take a look they are not as detailed as yours good job on your review boss
Uptown Finest Thanks bro, no problems with mine. Wish I could help!
Great vid, what is the name and model of the unit that you are using?
It's an Ouku brand Head unit. Model OK645GA.
Hi I also have a Chevrolet Malibu 2009 I just saw your video is very good could you give me the place where you bought the screen
Carlos Almeida Wish I could. The seller no longer sells them on Ebay.
Thank you! scantron5k, do you have the silver console I have the 2012 Malibu it has the silver.
No problem. And I had the black unit.
Ok thank you.
Since when do you have it ?
i am thinking to buy one
what are the pros and cons for this player
Emco Construct I bought it in May of '15. Love it. Please read through the comment threads to find any other info you may need.
Excellent review.
You mentioned that it is slightly larger than a 2 din. Do you know by about how much? You have me considering one.
Thanks.
A. Robert Ausili Thanks man. Yeah, you have to cut the dash kit frame out by like an extra 1/4" vertically and horizontally.
Thanks. It may get in the way of my climate control on a 02 Vette. The car really needs an upgrade from the 1.5 din cassette player lol. It seems like the name brand units pay royalty's and that really jacks up the price. I'm bidding on one now.
Do you ever wish you would have gotten a 7" screen unit?.
A. Robert Ausili honestly, I've never thought about it, man. but yes, I would definitely upgrade the vet's cassette player hahaha.
Thanks again. The fact that you are happy with this unit after a year and a half speaks volumes. For the price it is worth a try (to see if it fits). There may be a depth issue too. I was considering the shallower non disc player but yours seems to be tried and true.
Thanks again from Jax Fl.
A. Robert Ausili no problem!
will this head unit fit in a Ford E-250 (van), and does it support digital tv?
+Drew Furrh Not sure on your E-250, but as long as it has a double din opening, you should be OK. It does have a tv input, but I'm not using it.
Great video! Do you know what's the name of the app that's control the iPod?
No, sorry.
What is the exact model of your unit. I really like it. What version of android does it used? Thanks
If you take radio off wifi, how much is it to connect to Internet source I like the google maps features
You have to use a mobile hotspot.
How did you break into Hotspot? I need to know. I also have AT&T and it sucks not being able to use it.
Gregg Ewing You will have to root your phone, unfortunately. The hotspot hack is available on xda forum.
For the GPS to work, did you have to install anything such as a 4G sim card or a GPS antenna, or anything else that would not be included in the package?
NissanN12Dude it comes with an antenna to mount up near your rearview mirror. Works perfectly.
scantron5k Thanks! Definitely going to buy one of these.
The wifi range is not strong, the pass for change the Icon is 123456. For the price is very good radio. I loved.
Wifi range in a car..nigga really?
WiFi antenna range.
nigga????
range from the hot spot and the radio..
From the emission to the receiver(Radio)
is that a custom launcher or was that already on the head unit ?
It's the stock launcher.
I have the same unit, for the gps antenna it came with long cable that screws into back of unit with an external piece with adhesive to mount, where did you mount yours?
Jason Lucas I ran it up around the windshield and mounted it next to my rearview mirror.
Cool, thanks for the response
