XC90 Android touchscreen GPS navigation / media player

[aland]

As I couldn't find anything on the forum, if anyone is interested in fitting an aftermarket Android navigation / media player into their XC90, I have recently bought one of these, and can provide info as needed:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Android-Qu...cAAOSw-0xYUf1K

It replaces the dash speaker / screen, but does NOT move up and down.
I've had it about a month and have found workarounds to most of the limitations / bugs

I'm using it for:
- Phone hands-free
- Navigation (with 'Sygic' app)
- Reverse camera * - see below
- Media player (from USB)
- ODBII real-time info and code query (via bluetooth interface and 'Torque' app)

It will also do video playback and pretty much anything a tablet can do.
It has video and sound outputs for rear screens if needed, but can't say show navigation on the front screen and play a film to the rear ones.
It claims to be iPod compatible, but currently won't talk to my antique iPod, need to try other cables / iPods.
Steering wheel controls work for track up/down as it comes with a CANBUS interface.

The stock Volvo radio remains and this comes with appropriate cables to connect as an aux input to the radio.
It has a small standalone speaker (that I mounted in the passenger footwell) that is used for phone audio and navigation instructions, as well as outputing these to the radio, if you're on the aux in.
This means that you can still hear these even if on another input, say FM radio.
Annoyingly it does not mute the radio while on a phone call, but does mute it's own output, eg during music playback.

* - I also use it for displaying the camera on the back of my caravan when hitched.
As the unit automatically selects the reverse camera input when in reverse over CANBUS, I was unable to also use this input when NOT in reverse. I have a changeover switch in the back of the car to feed the caravan video (via the spare pin on the 13-pin socket) to the front of the car.
I made up a relay box to automatically switch the video into the reverse input when in reverse, and the aux-in when NOT in reverse.
From the unit I can select the 'aux in' to display the caravan camera when driving.
Navigation sound instructions still work when in aux, via both the standalone speaker and radio aux in if selected.

Any questions, i'll help where I can, or if anyone is near Luton and would like to play with it, let me know.

Photos straight from their ebay listing.
I was successful with an offer £20 below their listing price, they might accept less.

Could this be installed into a vehicle that doesnt already have the satnav screen?

Yes, my car didn't have the nav option originally.

I ordered a similiar one, but my headunit does not have the AUX input so I'm affraid that it won't work over the original headunit.
Did yours had an aux input on the original radio?

Sorry, only just seen this.
Without an aux in you will struggle. Maybe need a 3rd part aux interface, or an FM modulator ?
