For Android Head Units (Most Common for DIY Updates):

  • Android Head Unit (Aftermarket): If you bought the car used or had it replaced, it might be an Android system. You can check this by going to Settings > About Device. If it lists an Android version (e.g., Android 9, 10, 11, 12), this is the easiest to update.
