M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info

[marcus]

I'm ordering one this weekend, just wondering about Nav software? what are you guys using? is it free? and does the live one's need internet or does it come through gps? I guess it will come loaded with some sort of software.

Cheers Ronnie

Another question springs to mind! where have you fitted the small speaker that does the car sounds? I take the old unit puts it through the main speakers?

I stuffed it behind the unit towards the right hand side. It's a bit tight with that and the extra wiring looms. Doable though. Might be handy to take the charge port/aux in unit out as well when installing. Might give you a bit more space.

Cheers Marcus, yes I will be removing that too as bought one of those usb sockets so will need to cut a hole beside the charging socket!

You might want to see if you can get a second hand unit complete with USB socket. Sheppy sourced me one on eBay for 20 quid. Bargain.

I did have a look but only found a new one for thirty quid ( I think) the socket was a tenner so will just need to stick with that and try and make it look tidy

Update on the sat nav. I have now switched to google maps as the default sat nav. I prefer it because of the good traffic coverage. I can flip to it easy enough using the FAV button. I use the Wifi from my phone.

I have binned sygic sat nav as the search is really not very good. Also the app takes up the whole screen which means you can't get to the Android notification bar. As an offline option I am using offline gps app which is fairly basic but free. It's good enough if I don't have a data connection.

I might look into copilot when I get a chance. Cheers
