Gradually, cars are becoming computers on wheels, just as cell phones have long since become handheld computers. However, there are still plenty of cars on the road that lack the capabilities of new cars.
This is where it makes sense to use a product like the one we are analyzing today, an Android system for the car that has the particularity of being able to also be used in the office, in computer mode for presentations, for example .
This is the evolution of the Ottocast Picasou 2 that we were analyzing a few weeks ago, which in turn was a hypervitamined version of the Ottocast Air2.
Android in the car
This Picasou 2 Pro is an even more powerful proposal from the brand, which specializes in this type of device.
It is a device designed to have a complete Android system in any car compatible with Apple Carplay. This will not only allow us to use navigation applications or make phone calls, but also to install applications, watch Netflix, etc.

It has a Snapdragon 665 processor with a SIM slot that allows the system to have connectivity whether or not we have a Wi-Fi connection. The system also has a USB port to connect cameras, external storage , etc.
However, if we only want to use Apple Carplay or Android Auto wirelessly, this device allows us to do so as well.

The possibilities it opens up are the same as those we had in Picasou 2, but there are more.
Android on TV or monitor
One of the advantages of this model is that in addition to having an HDMI input to connect cameras in the car for example, it has an HDMI output, which allows it to be connected to an external display.

This allows you to use the device at home or in the office, by connecting it to a monitor or television, for making presentations, watching movies or series, browsing…
Of course, in these cases, as the interface is not tactile, you have to link a bluetooth joystick, or a mouse with the same connectors. In fact, we tested it with a Bluetooth mouse, but the company itself sells a remote control for this device for less than 30 dollars.

The only drawback of this device is that it is not cheap. Its 353 dollars make it only suitable for those who are going to use it both in the car and outdoors, because if we only want it for the home there are cheaper options with Google TV, and if we want for the car, we can use normal Picasou 2.
Of course, having everything integrated into the same device that we can use with a USB C charging cable and a standard HDMI interface can be quite interesting for certain use scenarios.
