Android Head units (2DIN stereo car radio)
Please keep in mind, when using Android Head units (2DIN stereo car radio) you may have to pair the Hondash scanner manually using the Manual pairing procedure described above.Depending on the model you also may have to enable the "Head Unit Bluetooth" switch in the Hondash app settings.
However it's NOT guaranteed to work. Some head units models and manufacturers, usually the Chinese ones, have strict policies and allow only very specific devices to pair with their head units, or their Bluetooth communication implementation does not comply with the established Android SDK standards. In worst case scenario you'll have to use a regular smartphone or switch to another Head unit brand.
Because our primary development platform is the smartphone we're not able to provide any further assistance (radio brands inquiry, etc.), thank you for your understanding.
