Hyundai Head Unit Hacking

IMO I'd like a better head unit. Fast responsiveness, making Android Auto come up faster, more reliable bluetooth pairing.

Being able to see more data would be cool too. In my car I can't see my historical MPG like I've seen in other cars.

Buy an after market. I.e. Joying.

This. When doing a bunch of errands, that involve lots of stopping and getting out of the car, then getting back in, it seems to take a good minute for Android Auto to re-load every time I start the engine. Must be even more annoying for delivery drivers. This is on a 2-year old car. I don't even think it's Android Auto that's slowing it down, but the head unit's OS is taking that long to boot before it will allow Android Auto to start. Surely the whole thing could be kept switched on (in sleep mode perhaps) for 30 minutes after the car is stopeed?

In my old Jeep I replaced the factory U-Connect head unit with an aftermarket Alpine. Unfortunately I think Jeep's are the only target market where you can expect a user to do a DIY head unit swap.
