Title: Double din HUs
Post by: matt a on December 08, 2008, 01:34:12 pm

Been looking at double din head units, mainly oem, but found these units some time again, great features, and super oem look:

So question is, does anyone have them and are they happy with them?

^^^ No it's not a VW Headunit.

It's had mixed review across a few other forums, IMHO if you like the oem fit then you would be better off either going for the VW RNS-510 or a better know aftermarket until like the Kenwood DNX's  :smiley:

Stick with the top 4

In no particular order:-

Kenwood DNX
OEM
Pioneer
Alpine

Must have's IMHO are:-

Touchscreen
Hard drive based SAT NAV
IPOD compatible
DVD drive
Ability to expand to Bluetooth (or built in)

Very happy with my Kenwood DNX 7200 - although it may have been superceded now?

Garmin Sat Nav (just uploaded the '09 maps)
Bluetooth phone
DVD
Full iPod control
Pocket GPS Speed camera info
Live traffic info
