    Amarok Headunit upgrade

    My head unit touch screen is starting to play up so wondering what options I have for a factory upgrade. I have a 2018 V6 Dark Label. Would it be the RCD330? Not sure what my factory model number is currently. I would really like it to be just plug and play as I don't know anything about coding if that is required.

    The newer Amarok (2020+) now coming with Discover Media, which is probably your best OEM option.

    If you upload a picture of your current unit we should be able to identify it.

    That's a Discover Media. It's the top spec and a very good unit.
    I have some repaired screens coming in in a week or two. Can either send you the screen or you can send me the unit to swap it.

    Thanks Kamold. Things seem to be getting worse, rather than maybe repair as I assume would probably $400ish to replace screen, wondering if better option is to go after market. What are the best aftermarket android style ones to go.
    I found these
    Volkswagen Amarok Head Unit 2016-2022 - VHEDIA
    and I know some Jeep guys with the Teyes ones but they seem to be a bit finicky.

    Any opinions would be appreciated. I would prefer quality and plug and play

    Would this unit fit on an older Amarok with a RCD510?
