Honda CR-V 12.3 inch Android Head Unit with Wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and AKM DSP

CarPlay connects to your iPhone wirelessly, so maps, calls and music appear on the 12.3 inch screen without plugging anything in.

The phone can stay in your pocket, and CarPlay is ready each time you start the car.

Android Auto works wirelessly or by USB cable, whichever suits you. Navigation and music are controlled from the touchscreen, and two USB cables are included for wired use.

The 12.3 inch QLED screen runs at 2400x900p, so maps, album art and menus look sharp and colourful across its width.

Hidden touch buttons light up in a colour of your choice, and the launcher has day and night themes.

It's also an IPS panel, so the picture stays clear when viewed from the passenger seat. That matters on a wide screen that both front seats can reach.

The AKM 7604 digital sound processor has a 36-band equaliser, which gives very fine control over the sound in the CR-V's cabin.

You can lift or cut narrow parts of the range to suit your speakers, rather than just bass and treble.

An ST TDA7851 amplifier chip is built in, with a max 4×48W output power. It drives the car's speakers directly without an extra amp.

Fiber-optic, coaxial and RCA audio outputs are all there. They give you several ways to connect an external amplifier or processor later, and an RCA cable is in the box.

There are two Bluetooth modules, so you can connect two devices at once. Qualcomm Bluetooth with aptX HD handles calls and music in high quality.

The second module, Unisoc Bluetooth 5.2, has lower latency for third-party devices such as an OBD scanner.

The unit has an integrated 4G solution and a 4G antenna. With a data SIM it has its own connection for maps, streaming and online radio stations, without tethering a phone.

Dual-band Wi-Fi gives a faster connection for downloads and updates, for example from your home network or a phone hotspot.

GPS navigation runs on the unit itself with the included GPS antenna. A gyro sensor helps keep the position steady.

The CR-V's steering wheel controls keep working, so you can change the volume, skip tracks and take calls without letting go of the wheel.

AM/FM radio with RDS is built in. DAB is supported with an external DAB adapter, sold separately.

Screen mirroring shows your phone's display on the head unit. It's handy for apps that aren't in CarPlay or Android Auto, best used while parked.

A Unisoc 7865 octa-core processor (2x Cortex A75 @2.2GHz + 6x A55 @1.8GHz) runs Android 15, with 8GB RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. It starts quickly and switches between apps smoothly.

The aluminium housing and smart fan control keep it cool, and PiP mode lets you keep a small window open over another app.

Front and rear cameras are supported, and a camera cable is included. You can add optional accessories later, including a camera, DAB, DVR, OBD, TPMS, keyboard or microphone.
