Double din head unit recommendations

[Nesty1760]

Hi All

I am looking for a decent double din head unit to go into my Toyota Campervan.

I don’t have steering controls (though could add them), I would like a touch screen, DAB, my phone is Android, it must have Bluetooth and looking to hook up a reversing camera to the unit.

I have a budget of around £350, maybe more for the correct one.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

The Pioneer SPH-DA250DAB gets good reviews and sells lots of units. I would have bought one, except its a full depth unit so not as easy to install if space is tight. I ended up with an Alpine ILX-W690D which is a short unit, but has the option of adding an amp to the back creating a full depth unit if space is available.

Personally I would ensure whatever you get has a capacitive screen for ease of use. Resistive screens need some pressure to work.

OK many thanks.

With apologies for jumping into this (very helpful) thread - any idea if these units will work with steering wheel controls (same Toyota model) ? Understand a separate adaptor can generally be utilised ?

I’m taking for granted that Android support also means CarPlay likely to be installed as well (but will check on the links).

The xtrons unit do what you've asked, and I believe should work with your steering wheel controls;

If you google it, there are a few people who have done installs into campers.

I installed a Pioneer SPH into a MK1 MR2 last year. I took it out again because it was touchscreen only, and it was too far away from my eyeline to be safe to use. I've just bought a Sony XAV AX1005DAB to replace it because it's the only one I could find with a rotary volume control.

Just something to consider if you hadn't already.
