The AINAVITO 11.5-inch car radio is an Android head unit that replaces the factory radio in the 2011-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan and the 2012-2016 Chrysler Town & Country. It brings a large touchscreen, wireless or wired CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 1080p backup camera to a minivan dash. Here is what its specs mean and what to confirm before fitting one.
Which minivans it fits
AINAVITO lists two vehicles: the Dodge Grand Caravan from 2011 to 2020 and the Chrysler Town & Country from 2012 to 2016. The unit comes with its own frame to fill the factory radio opening, and the wiring is described as plug-and-play. That typically means the harness connects to the vehicle's own plugs, so factory wires don't need to be cut or spliced.
Steering wheel controls are supported. The parts picture shows a power cable with a CANbus decoder, a small module that usually translates the vehicle's data signals so features like these keep working with an aftermarket head unit. AINAVITO's diagram puts the head unit at about 10.2 x 6.9 inches (roughly 26 x 17.5 cm).
CarPlay, Android Auto and screen mirroring
CarPlay and Android Auto both work wirelessly or over a USB cable, for calls, messages, music and maps. A wireless connection keeps the cabin free of cables, while a wired one is typically more stable. The unit also supports iPhone AirPlay and wireless or wired screen mirroring, which shows the phone's own screen on the head unit.
The screen and the Android system
The touchscreen measures 11.5 inches with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. It uses an IPS panel, a type that typically keeps colours steady when viewed from an angle, which matters in a car where both front seats see the screen from the side. The glass is 2.5D, meaning its edges are gently curved.
The unit runs Android 13 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. RAM decides how smoothly it handles several apps at once, such as maps alongside music; storage holds apps, music files and offline maps. Because the head unit runs Android itself, it can use apps over Wi-Fi without relying on a phone, and AINAVITO lists support for popular video, social and search apps. Several interface themes let you change the look of the home screen.
Radio, Bluetooth and navigation
Connections include 5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.4. Bluetooth handles hands-free calling, phonebook sync and music streaming, and a separate microphone is included for calls. Wi-Fi gives access to online maps and apps; in a car, that usually means connecting to a phone's hotspot.
There is AM and FM radio with RDS, the system that shows station names and track details on FM, plus an AUX input. Built-in GPS works with the included GPS antenna for navigation.
The backup camera and what's in the box
A 1080p backup camera is included. AINAVITO's picture describes it as an AHD camera, a format that carries high-definition video over analogue camera wiring, with a 170-degree wide-angle view behind the vehicle.
The listing names the main unit, frame, power cables, backup camera, GPS antenna, microphone, tools and manual. The parts picture also shows USB and RCA cables and a reversing control cable, with a note that cables can differ by model.
Who it suits
It suits Grand Caravan and Town & Country owners who still have the factory radio and want a larger touchscreen, wireless phone connection and a rear camera in one upgrade. AINAVITO offers support with setup and installation questions.
What to check before you buy
- Your vehicle: confirm the model and year match the listed fit, and compare your current dash layout with the pictures.
- Your phone: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto need a phone that supports them.
- Installation: read the manual first, and decide whether you'll fit it yourself or use an installer.
- Camera cable: plan the route from the rear of the van to the dash.
- On the road: set up navigation before driving, and follow local rules on screen use.
