Hi I'm new to the transporter world, I've recently bought a 2018 T6 shuttle with climate control and park control no camera but hoping to put a MFSW shortly, got factory fitted DAB radio so looking to upgrade this unit , would like DAB radio not bothered about sat nav as long as I can connect my android phone to it , don't really like the 9inch screens lol so any help would be appreciated, thanks

Will drop you a pm
 
Ideally DAB, Sat Nav or a good Car play to utilise google maps , connectivity for Spotify and keeping handsfree for phone etc

Retaining the factory parking sensors, potential for Steering wheel controls (once i upgrade steering wheel haha) MFD info

But happy to take guidance on what is the best unit for the best value

Hi

The Kenwood DMX 8019dab is a very popular unit for T6 owners, as it has wireless Apple CarPlay/android auto, twin usb, dab, displays parking sensors(using the Kenwood interface), capactive screen, dash cam control, reverse cam input and hdmi input for video input

We can supply it as a plug and play solution, and yes it will make it sound a lot better, plus it has so much more audio adjustments

The Kenwood DNX 9190dab is the best unit on the market, as it has a HD screen, nothing comes close in def and works in direct sunlight, built in Garmin nav, wireless Apple CarPlay/android auto etc etc

Just going to breathe some new life into this again. Sorry chaps!

@Absolut5 i have a T6.1 kombi highline, with the factory HU, parking sensors and reverse camera.

What would you recommend I do to upgrade the HU to something better that retains all the factory options including the USBC ports, but also has wireless CarPlay aswel?

We are about to take delivery of a new Alpine interface which looks promising, which hopefully replaces the third party one which is ok but not perfect

the most popular headunits to install at the moment are the Alpine Halo 905 and 11..

drop us a pm and we can go through options, costs and keep in touch ref the new interface
 
Is the DMX8019DABS still a good unit to go for? Looking like they're available for a good price. To be fitted into a 2016 T6 with front and rear sensors and multifunction wheel.

Still a great unit, we still stock them. The only thing which may concern you , as they been out for a few years now is how long will they be supported

Thanks for a swift reply. Is this a unit that is pretty much plug and play?
When you say supported what do you actually mean by that? Like it’ll stop working? They don’t get constant updates do they?
 
With the correct fitting parts , yes it’s pretty much a plug and play

future firmware updates from Kenwood, admittedly audio manufacturers don’t often do them, but they may never release one again for it , the last one was in April 21

Can you quote me for the Alpine head unit including a rear facing camera on a 2018 T6. I have rear parking sensors and multi function wheel?
There is a front radar on the van but there is no button on the steering wheel for actie cruise control.
Thanks
