aftermarket head unit

Hi All, Just installing an Alpine Halo 11 in my T6.1, am I right in thinking there is a GPS connector behind the door card / mirror on the drivers side that I can connect to for the Halo instead of using the GPS receiver that came with the head unit? If so what cable do I need? Cheers temma

Hi all. My 2016 T6 head unit blew due to a fault with the screen. I need to replace and have found an aftermarket Makede unit for a really good price. It says it is VW T6 compatible but the plug wiring appears different. I am told it is a “quad lock” type plug. It has everything I need (apple...

Does the Alpine Halo series have dashcam functionality with the additional camera, or do you need to fit a specific dashcam? I’m looking for a dashcam, revering cam and head unit and it would be good if they worked together. Thx

i have a pioneer head unit and the stop start turn the unit off when it restarts. Very annoying. Is there a known fix for this?

Hi all, As I'm selling my van, the Alpine Halo unit is being removed and sold separately. I was going to use it in my new car but the plan has changed. It's currently still fitted and as such, has all the required installation parts (genuine VW single din fascia and genuine Alpine interface...

Afternoon T6 has just started this behaviour - headunit comes on upon fob door unlock. It’s an aftermarket Sony connected via a CANBuS adapter from Jason at Absolut. It’s been working fine for at least a year. Used to be the case that HU would be off until first stage of key turn. Now it comes...

Dropping a few notes in here as I just finished fitting an Atoto F7 headunit to my T6 Transporter and it was tough getting DIY details. I bought to Atoto F7XE unit from Amazon and I figured it was worth an effort trying to fit it and have wireless carplay and 10in screen for a fraction of the...

So, in case someone wonders, I think I got why the Kenwood DNR (I think it might be the whole series) doesn't connect to MFS and the parking sensors. Probably didn't look far enough in the first place, and back in the days when I visited a shop here in the city I shouldn't have gotten a radio...

Has anyone had any experience with an Alpine Headunit overheating? I’ve recently fitted an X803 and after around 30 minutes of use a patch appears on the headunit screen (attached). I’ve tried using the coolest setting on my dash vents but doesn’t seem to have any effect. I’m worried due to the...

Hi I changed my head unit to a basic Kenwood CarPlay one and am disappointed by the dull screen. Am used to a lovely bright screen in our Golf. (The touchscreen was broken down one side on the original head unit.) I saw on FB marketplace someone with a T5 selling what looks like a tablet...

Anyone fitted a SPH-EVO950DAB? My OEM unit is starting to get really glitchy so maybe time for a change? This Pioneer ticks a lot of boxes, mainly that it won't look like a Tesla in the front as the unit looks similar size to the total size of the original unit corner to corner. I've had...
