I know there was a build thread on this topic but I found this device online
FREEShipping Android 2.3.4 for Chevrolet CRUZE 2Din 7" Car Multimedia DVD PC TCC8925 1G CPU/Dual core+1G DDR2, +RDS+IPOD+Can BUS on Aliexpress.com

Would this head unit work well. I think this is easier than mounting a tab onto the car as compared to the build (even though it may be a little more pricier, it seems like an easier install. I would like to re-route the lcd screen in place and put it here with this: Artx Chevy Holden Cruze Navigation Trim Bezel Kit | eBay

I would be connecting a 3g or wifi dongle to the unit for internet radio through my wireless company (Sprint) so no need for XM, I will utilize Google Maps and all the perks of an android based-OS.

I would like to know the following;
- will the stock radio buttons work with the unit?

based on the CPU, I believe this can be updated to 4.0 but in all honesty, is ICS really needed for a car at this time?

The build thread was from a member fusing a 7" Samsung tablet as his radio. I figured the double din unit would be an easier install since its already integrated as a radio instead of troubleshooting the issues of hardwiring a tablet. I just do not want my radio buttons to feel like a large non-functioning unit. The allure of having an open source internet-ready android operating system is too good to pass up (imagine obd2-based diagnostics avail on your screen like a GTR) In regards of having 2 screens. Yes, I will put the current lcd "blue screen" where the center speaker is inside of the special bezel they sell from the link. This way I do not loose the a/c display, etc..
