Single DIN 10 inch screen

I installed a cheap single DIN radio with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s the best radio I’ve ever had. I can send SMS/text messages, navigate, change audio input, call, and a lot more all hands free. The backup camera comes in handy because my neck can’t turn to see over my shoulder anymore. All these different radios on Amzn do pretty much the same things.

Looks great, in keeping even styling wise, does not look cheap. So which one did you pick?

I agree CarPlay/Android is absolutely fantastic and quickly becoming a must have in any car. When did something similar in my RR P38 I went for a Sony because my experience with all the cheap ones from Aliexpress is that they are too cheap for my liking. The Sony is great, but they way it is configured it's hard not to obscure any buttons.

I was looking at a similar unit on eBay but wasn't sure how much clearance there was between the screen and the gear lever when it's forward? Any chance you can show how close the gear knob and the screen get?

I've got a post 02 TD5 dash in mine so it sticks out a little. Cheers,

Paul

There’s 2 inches of clearance while in first gear.

Thanks, that's probably going to be tight for my dash as it sticks out a bit further than the pre-02 dash. It looks great in yours though and I think you can angle the screen slightly towards the driver too (at least you could on the ones I was looking at) so that makes for a better view. Cheers,

Paul
