Title: Swapping an aftermarket head unit for another!!!! Suggestions please.
Post by: amanda on April 17, 2017, 11:18:49 am
Ok any suggestions.....I have had a quick look and nothing seems to apply!
I have a Veyron unit in mine that is now passed it's sell by date as it was fitted before I got the car. I like the Oem look of the unit and would like to keep it but want something more capable i.e. All singing all dancing with iPhone compatible features and the usual Bluetooth, sat Navand DVD .......an intergrated lightning cable would be fab.

I've been looking into this - Pioneer SPH-DA120 Car Stereo with Apple CarPlay

Seems to do everything that I need.

Can't see why it wouldn't work. Worth going to your local halfords or car audio specialist.

I have one and it is rather good. Was a great replacement for the original 310(?!?) and brought the car upto date in terms of both appearance and functionality. Sounds pretty decent also.
