Happy birthday.
The one I bought still does the reversing sensors, but it actually looks for a camera first, so you just say OK on the screen and it goes back to the usual "radar" screen (it still beeps even if you don't say OK.)
The one Binned_it bought had gone, so I bought this one:
RCD360 For VW Transporter T5.1 T6 Radio Car Play Android Auto 6.5 MQB MIB Stereo | eBay
Which is VW by origin, but has been reclaimed from a written-off vehicle in the Indian / Russian market.. ( was a bit conflicted about the Russia thing, but I guess my came from India..) It was in perfect condition and obviously reprogrammed.
I did need an additional cable for the FM, but communications with the seller was great, and I got the cable I needed within 2 days (£14.99).
Add one Android auto wirelesses adaptor for £45,

and that's it, no more faffing around with cables, additional sat nav mounts yadda yadda, live Sat Nav in the dash.
Thanks Binned It
It's a Norn!
Yes I plan to remove the bumper for installation
Will do
Bought some time ago but the picture of the Yeti mug reminded me...
If you have the T6.1 "comfort" dash then the Nespresso Touch vacuum travel mug fits the odd cupholders perfectly.
I had one in silver and now MrsR has one in gold (because if I put coffee MrsR's I'm sleeping on the couch for week - she hates the taste even after repeated washings)

Great bit 'o kit. Hope you had less of a fight than I did squeezing it in!
have the sam for emergencies - I recommend the bag in a bag technique.For 'convenience' sake..... It occurred to me that the majority of my expeditions may be just for the odd day, or perhaps a weekend fishing trip. While I do have the 'Thetford' which is new and unused I think by the time I had it set up and made useable, I may be in deep s****!
So, I have just invested in the 'Carp Life' Bivvy Loo. I think this is a really handy, hygienic as it can be, and quick way to overcome the tedious tasks of 'Thetford' prep and cleaning. The Carp Life Bivvy Loo is also incredibly compact and takes up very little space in the van.... and it is fully portable.
I have no association with this product but am quite impressed with many reasons for including it in the van, as emergency kit!
first in - a bin bag to cover everything, second in is the waste bag. then at least you know the throne stays 100% clean!
A trip to @CRS Performance, I have 4 new shocks and two new mounts, but a much improved ride back, even if the M6 was a nightmare.

I've never wanted to take a Thetford out with us, we use on site facilities, but that Bivvy loo only takes the space of a couple of bottles of vino, and what with advancing years these nocturnal emergencies could soon be a thing! Very impressed in the video by the talented young guy jumping on the toilet seat, I would probably break an ankle in the process I'm sure. What a neat solution, with no solutions!have the sam for emergencies - I recommend the bag in a bag technique.
