A number of other cars' infotainment systems are also based on ASOP. I remember downloading updates for my Hyundai which were also essentially Android images

The head units themselves are very dated and simply could not run recent versions of Android. I have a 2020 and I'm always eyeing up the after market units which are all better in every way.

its not about them being dated, or fast. Its the fact that the head unit will work in 10 years vs the aftermarket one probably dying in 2.

I don't think I've ever seen a head unit die. After market or otherwise. It's usually all those pesky moving parts in the front that go first.

based on aosp was not the notable part
