aftermarket head unit

Seen these and they look ok. I’m wondering if anyone has one and if they are easy to fit and any good. I’m looking to upgrade but don’t want to spend £1k + on an alpine or Kenwood. I would get the dab and reversing camera add ons...

Hi, So I have for a very long time been thinking about replacing my Pioneer FB88DAB (which is an outstanding unit by the way) with an iPad Mini. My reasons for wanting to do this are: 1) love google maps and Waze 2) Screen is brighter, I actually cant see the screen at all in the summer. 3)...

Audio Question for the hive mind! I have the ‘crackling’ issue when using Apple Carplay. The software build is current, and the SOS unit has just been replaced. (It solved the WeConnect/Mic problems.) Searching through various forums doesn’t give me much hope that a solution is available via VW...

Hi, Has anyone tried one of those wireless screens that sell on Amazon or similar for £100-150? My.Garmin satnav needs replacement and I'm fed up with Garmin so looking at alternatives. I've got a 2017 T6 with the basic head unit and not really keen to spend £1400 on an integrated Kenwood as...

My original head unit is dying, and I wanted a quick, simple solution. I've had a pretty shitty time lately and just wanted a quick win. I went to my a local car parts shop and spent a bit of time talking to a helpful staff member who ended up selling me a Kenwood dmx7522dabs and a kit that was...

I have a transporter T6 2017, screen and head unit have been on the way out for a while. A friend of mine just replaced his head unit in his amarok of the same age with a new unit from a company called Vhedia. His old head unit went the same way as mine. Vhedia seems like a really good...

For sale is a (virtually) brand new KENWOOD DMX920 XDS with CMOS-320 multi view camera. The main unit was installed one week before I bought the van (last week of October) and the camera is uninstalled, still in box. Both are surplus requirements as I already had my own set-up. Also comes with...

Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me. Im Looking for an upgraded head unit for my van but don’t want to spend fortunes. I have seen a a few on Ali Express for the £60 make but not sure if it’s worth the gamble and if it will be terrible quality. Has anyone tried one? I don’t have...

Apologies is already covered, did a search but couldnt find anything. I have fitted an aftermarket head unit to my T6.1. This in turn stops the sos function working and caused a warning and light on the dash (i was made aware and told this can be coded out with Vagcom). I have a local garage...

Hi all, I've got an android double din headunit that I purchased about 5 years ago to fit to a BMW 1 series but we got rid of the car and it was never fitted. New out the box. I think it's a generic headunit in that it will fit any single din chassis but has a double din face. The screen...

Can anyone advise how I fix this?

Hello, I hope someone somewhere can help me! I am very new to car maintenance and it seems I have inadvertently killed my new car. We bought a 2016 T6 Caravelle a month or so ago. It had had a few modifications done to it, including a remap, a suspension upgrade, and an Alpine ILX-F903D head...

I found a Kenwood DMX8019DABS and got the required bits from @Absolut5 with top service. Posting here so you or anyone who knows can answer. He warned the DIN cable would be tight to connect, but it looks like I’m going to damage the connector in the process. The DIN pin count is correct but...

Cant decide between these two, fitting in a 6.1, I think both will look nice and do exactly what they say on the tin KW quite old though! What do yous think?
