When it comes to car upgrade, different drivers have different needs. For me, the first thing I would like to do in my 2003 Jeep Wrangler is to replace the old stereo system in the dash.
Just at last month, I fortunately got a touch screen Android head unit from a friend. That’s a fantastic device, equipped with a HD screen offering innovative and powerful interface. Besides, loaded with the Android 12 system and high quality CPU, it provides super fast response and smooth operation.
