Every manufacturer-specific unit I have bought has been plug-and-play. Boot up times may specified in the sometimes lengthy product listings. Cold boot up times are often in the order of 15 - 20 seconds but that would depend, I suppose, on how many apps you have set to start at boot up. The last unit I bought, before this one, had auto start up when the ignition was turned on. I did not like this feature but it was hard-coded into the machine and could not be changed. The seller explained that it is like "most new cars" in which the radios come on as soon as the vehicle is started. You could turn the radio off and it would stay off and then you could turn it on again, but I still didn't really like auto startup feature.

I take it you are considering getting one of these? If you are and you don't use CDs or DVDs there are ones that do not have the DVD drive. I have my new Toyota head unit up for sale locally right now as I was unaware of the ones without DVD. These units are much more shallow - a lot like a tablet - and if I manage to sell my new one, I'll be ordering one without DVD.

If you go this route and have any questions, I would be happy to help out, if I can.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I am searching for a new head unit with like the one that you posted. i am not using dvd or cds so i dont care if the unit has .

You're welcome.

I did not search for any 2G units without the DVD so can't say for sure that they exist. I have found 1G of onboard Ram more than adequate. I would appreciate maybe 32G ROM as opposed to the 16G that most come with. Occasionally, I do have to free up some space, but that said, I have not directed any apps to SD card. I only keep music on that.

I just search aliexpress for "Toyota Android" or similar search term.

Best of luck and please post a link of any/all the units that you are considering.

Cheers,

Adam
