com.google.process.gapps has stopped

Android Headunit won’t work.

Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped a message that may appear on the screen of your Android headunit that can stop you from using it.

Hard Reset

A hard reset is often suggested for all the odd software faults on the Android headunits and this com.google.process.gapps stop error is no exception.

Google has a suggestion.

Hello,Try the troubleshooting tips: 

Re-enable Download Manager

Reset app preferences: 

Tap on Settings > Apps/Application manager > More tab/Menu key > Reset app preferences

Clear the cache/data for the following apps/services:

Google Play Services, Google Framework, Google Play Store:  

Go into the Settings menu > Apps/Application manager > select the App > Force stop > Clear Cache > Manage space > Clear all data.

Uninstall updates for the Google Play Store.

Go to Settings menu > Apps/Application manager > Google Play Store > Uninstall updates.

Stuck Updates

Updates may be ‘stuck.’ The order in which some system apps must be updated is significant to ensure the process goes smoothly. When the update process gets out of sequence, some apps may be updated too soon and others too late, causing a conflict and incompatibility between processes. ‘Uninstall updates’ referred to above is to help alleviate this conflict by resetting the update process. You may have to manually hold back some system updates while allowing others to complete them first. It will be a trial and error process until the order is correct and the error message clears for good.

When all else fails

But if all this resetting and cache clearing doesn’t fix the com.google.process.gapps has stopped the error, you may think about the real Android version it is running. Very old (in Android terms) Android versions cannot update google play services, and you may conclude that the unit is now obsolete in its software.
