There's quite a few posts in our Facebook group about this where people have posted their photos already
see
https://www.facebook.com/groups/exploroztraveller/ so maybe start with that...
There's also this
Forum post asking which head unit from May 2021 that got a few replies.
Which head unit
Also on the Polaris website you'll find their units specifically state "works with ExplorOz Traveller" see
https://polarisgps.com.au/product/universal-maxx/ and
https://polarisgps.com.au/product/toyota-luxx/
Hopefully more people will post their photos to this thread for you. Personally, we're still very happy with T'eyes SPRO 10" and haven't had the need to change it in the last few years since we installed it.
The trick is:-
1. you must get one that specifically allows access to the Playstore to download any app of choice - not restricted to Android Auto apps only
2. all modern headunits will have built in GPS to show where you are when offline - you just need to download the maps (
EOTopo covers whole of Australia and you can store them all with just 5GB)
3. all will allow you to Bluetooth your phone for making/receiving phone calls or running online
services from the accounts on your phone, however....
4. for internet data usage directly on the headunit there are 2 options:- either make a hotspot connection from your phone, or put a data only SIM into the unit (not all headunits will have this option).
We use a $15/mth Telstra SIM in our 10" T'eyes SPRO. This way we can use any of the online apps or
services offered on the headunit directly without having to setup a hotspot connection to the phone ie. (Spotify, Netflix, Playstore, Chrome webbrowser etc). It's just easy and simple that way.
