EBay Touch Screen Head Units ........

Recommended Posts

So, I bought a 2005 LWB Diesel Pajero to tow my Pug 205 2K cup Car,instead of using the 530i, and I'm looking at putting one of those Double DIN Head units in it that does Bluetooth Phone and Audio, Reverse Camera and NAV

You can buy 'name brand' ones that do everything except Nav for not bad $$$, but the ones that do Nav are over $1K

So, off to EBay and I can buy a Generic one for bugger all ........

My question is - should I go Android or Win CE operating system ?

Has anybody bought one and could recommend ?

This sort of thing http://www.ebay.com/itm/auto-Double-2Din-HD-Touch-Screen-Car-Stereo-DVD-Player-GPS-Nav-Radio-Bluetooth-/161679944182?hash=item25a4e029f6

Edit - Might have sorted this myself, I might just get one of these from our sponsor :)

With such gear I'd avoid the cheaper non brands.

The quality and longevity of such a unit makes it a waste of time IMO.

We had a cheaper double din one put in a MAZDA while back for about $450 ex trade me. Did work ok, but still feel you get what you pay for. Dynavin has a good name. Personally I'd spend the extra again.

Also brought a unit in from UK for the merc, again also works but has had its hassles.

I think you're better off searching/waiting for an Android Auto device (https://www.android.com/auto/) with an upgrade path so you never have to worry about outdated Nav or a propriety, out-of-support operating system.

And if it's got a touch screen you need to go brand name or you'll just be in a world of pain.

Amen to this. I would rather put my fist through an off brand touch screen than have to try and use it in real life.
