T5 transporter aftermarket radio options

[Sunny43.5]

Hi Scott Erisin have the new units for both model T5,s I have this new model only fitted a few weeks back 9" DSP GPS CarPlay Android 10.0 Car Stereo BT For VW Golf 5/6 Polo Amarok Passat | eBay , probably one of the best I have seen with 24 channel DSP built in huge 9inch screen with all the bells and whistles GPS / Bluetooth able to connect front and rear cameras but NO DVD or CD slot as most people use USB or SD cards or Bluetooth for music these days anyway {I do }or you can go this model for the earlier T5 Android 10.0 CD Autoradio DAB+GPS For VW Polo Passat Golf 4 Jetta T5 Sharan Bora | eBay It still has slot for discs . If your really brave you could do what I did , my work van is the first generation T5 with the square cornered opening so I bought the later T5.1 facia and top cover which then allowed me to fit the very latest models with larger screens . So now both our old and newer model T5,s have the latest Android 10 OS and all the
features and best of all no coding just plug in and go .

Thanks very much Howard. Good to know the latest versions including the Double Din pre facelift T5 model. Just to clarify something, the second item for Double din slides straight in without the need for facia adapter surrounds? Scott.

Both models specific to each T5 fit straight in and screw into the original holes , you cant pick the difference oh wait yes you can both models have bigger screens than any of those $3000 VW ones !!

Thanks Sunny. Re pre face lift, many aftermarket sites indicate typically needing a facia surround for Double Din units. I guess unit 'double din' dimensions must vary slightly to fitting exactly in the T5 slot to some being a tad smaller and needing a facia surround to fill the space? I would be interested to see photos of your double din install if you have available.

Regards, Scott.

The units on Erisin site are VW specific so no facia required , both ours fitted straight in with no mods required .

Thanks Sunny.

The link below is another possibility. More expensive and probably higher end components, but cheaper than the main steam brands and with local support. I am interested in opinions.

Hi all,
If say a head unit is running the latest version of Android 10, does this mean an Android phone with a slightly early version of Android, say version 8 is or isn't comparable with the head unit to use Android Auto and various functions? I.E a question of backwards and forwards interoperability? Thanks, Scott

Shouldn,t be any issues , I would imagine the phone would have to be Android 4 or 5 less to be a compatibility issue .

Thanks Howard. I have an Android version 8.
Regards, Scott.
