Android auto or 'hacked android' Android head unit

Hello!
I've an old Pioneer AVIC F900BT and i was thinking of replacing it with a modern android based "radio".
I was interested in this 10.1" product from CarJoying CLICK
I was hoping that with it i could get some "new" features like:
- DAB radio
- Android apps installation
- OBD2 (i wanted to have supercars-like sound from the car's speakers, something like Renault's R-Link app)
For the record, my car is a 2010 Alfa Romeo Spider.
Is it a good choice? There is something better? What do you think about it?
Are there any units that have accelerometer built in? (G sensor)
the new ownice c300 seems cool
I am thinking about replacing my car stereo with an android head unit.
I have been reading the forum but do have some open questions:
1. How good are these head units?
2. Most head units seem to run older versions of android so I am concerned that the playstore and apps are not going to be supported for much longer. Which headunits are somewhat modern (good specs) with good developer support. I assume there are no treble supported headunits yet?
3. My primary use case for an android headunit are:
- listen to podcasts (PocketCasts?)
- GPS navigations (Google Maps or Waze)
- see my reverse camera when backing up
- listen to music (Pandora, Spotify, youtube, or stored music)
- listen to the radio (probably nice to have)
4. I am planning to get a dashcam and I saw that some headunits integrate with dashcam + reversing camera
5. Would be nice to be able to use a Bluetooth or something remote on the steering wheel. Ideally something discreet/small that can be glued to the back of the steering wheel ...
6. I am not planning to install a separate SIM card in the head unit (thanks ridiculous carrier prices in the US). How successful have people been getting their headunit to rely on Wifi at home and tethering to the phone when driving.
7. I saw some threads about headunits "sleeping" when the car is off - I drive an electric car, so I definitely want the unit to be OFF when the car is off. Don't care if it takes 10-30 seconds to boot.
8. Any recommendations for single DIN headunits that match the above requirements/use case? Don't need or want a gigantic screen and certainly do not want a motorized screen ... there seem to be some nice headunits where a 7" screen is mounted to a single DIN unit and the screen can be moved up and down depending on where you need it in the car.
You are actually considering an Android head unit, not Android Auto.
This is Android Auto:
https://www.android.com/auto/
Android headunits have several dedicated sections here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcb-android-head-units-qa - for older units running Android 4.4 or 5.1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-discussion-questions-development - for newer units
Since you do not seem familiar with Android headunits and their specifics I strongly advise against gambling on Chinese units. Getting an Android Auto/Car Play compatible unit from an established manufacturer (the Sony XAV AX-100 seems pretty popular) would be a much safer option at similar price.

Head Unit: Pioneer 4400NEX radio

here is the issue. My answer, and hang up buttons work with the native dialer in the head unit. when Android Auto is running, they dont work. i cant answer, or hang up without using the onscreen buttons.
Night/Day mode in maps, and Waze doesnt work correctly. this morning on my way to work, it was 8:30, but the maps and waze was in night mode.
Also, the cast does not find the head unit to cast to. Is this something i need an app for? the car and radio are connected to the same wifi.
I'm having the same issue with the steering wheel controls and the same head unit. I'm using a Maestro module to integrate the steering wheel controls with the head unit.
Did you find a solution?

Do you have a canbus converter installed?
It is mandatory to have other features than steering wheel controls.
Yes.. Can bus cable in place & connected.
I cannot find PARTNER TEPEE can bus protocol in the list buy it works with others from Peugeot's vehicle.
Somebody was talkinh to me about canbus cable to be the same with the softwate...is it right that canbus cable may change with software version ?

I have installed the ossuret android 10 head unit in my car and its ok but the DAB isn't great I have a dab+ box and have installed the app for it I just wondered if there was a way to update the software or install a better radio player as on the fm player built in its meant to have RDS but all I get is the name of the station no description etc I have an external DAB aerial so I think that's the best I can do unless anyone can recommend a better one as I found the supplied windscreen aerial crap
Install DAB Z from the playstore
