Any advice on the RCD330 would be appreciated, are they dab aswell

I believe any version other than "RevE" has been hacked to have all the latest features. RevE comes with car play and android auto from the factory and mine has been flawless over the 6 months or so I've had it.

I think i will have to look at aftermarket ones.
