Even if you open the AVIC and look at the PCB and register audio chip, GPS dice, modem etc, you still need drivers for Android. Even if you got drivers, you still have to know what memory space has been reserved by the ARM CPU, if there is no automatic hardware detection built in the drivers.

 

So I would say this: forget it!

Im highly tempted to agree with you. Here's another Idea, buy a tablet PC and install it in my car where the pioneer was. Then figure out how to run the 3.5mm jack into the amplifier. Then I have wifi to tether from my phone and bluetooth for all my peripherals.

Yup! Just like any OS, the lowest level that you have to master before any application is the hardware layer and its related drivers. The only thing that is known from the AVIC at this time is its ARM CPU at this time.

Well that sucks, they wont divulge anything more?

From what I've heard you can install Android on damn near anything, and I figure if they could get Windows CE on it, I bet we can put Android OS 3.0 honeycomb on it, then change the bluetooth stack and use google maps and install ALLLLL the apps you want including the Torque app so I can display my ODB2 output on my avic from my bluetooth odb2. I'm excited about this and know a bit about unix, anyone know where to begin?
