Upgrade to a 9-inch IPS Android system with 4GB RAM, Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, GPS and DSP audio — with two performance levels depending on how far you want to take the upgrade.
An old interface. A phone mounted on the windscreen. Charging cables across the dashboard. Navigation on a small phone screen. Bluetooth adapters. Every one of those little compromises adds up every time you drive.
You don't need to replace the vehicle you already like. Upgrade the part of it you interact with every single day — and bring your navigation, music, calls and smartphone features onto one modern display.
Everything most drivers actually need in a serious Android radio upgrade.
For the owner who doesn't want to wonder later whether they should have bought the better one.

“I'm already upgrading my dashboard. I want the best version available.”
Maps, music, calls and supported apps on the dashboard without plugging your iPhone in every drive.
Bring compatible navigation, music and communication apps onto the 9-inch screen.
