Evening everyone,

I'm looking at options for replacing the very fiddly stereo in my van and was thinking about going all 21st century and getting a touchscreen bluetooth satnav/stereo. There's a space on the dashboard which can potentially accommodate one. Any suggestions?? Thank you!

I’ve gone for the very cheap and nasty retro radio that includes most formats for replay like Bluetooth etc etc. Not tried @ny with sat nav as I like to pretend that I know exactly where I’m going and getting lost to me is exploring ;) The cheap and nasty retro thingies that I use are easily replaced at less than fifteen quid a pop and I don’t think anyone would think twice about nicking them which appears to be on the increase as these vans are fairly easy to open up. I do have a Tom Tom app on my phone as a just in case thing.

I was thinking about one which can be temporarily mounted on a stand and removed when the van is empty. However, I think even a cheap and nasty retro radio would be easier to operate than what I have - what make is yours??

Pretend you’re gonna buy it then skip the page to the bottom and you’ll see other ones at the cheapest price ever. Once you’ve installed one , t might run for two or three years or possibly ten years, but you can’t believe how good they are for so little money. When you pick them up they feel so light , it’s like they’re empty. But loads of features.

Cheap Amazon Bluetooth radio, the volume control was a bit flaky after 3 months and they sent a new one, in the meantime I started using the remote and it was fine. So I have a spare when it dies. Connects to my phone as soon as I start up and the map is active on the split screen automatically. It has a backup camera too, but I already have a 150 degree view rear view mirror camera that it super handy

Lookin good love the rear view mirror camera where did you buy that ?
Did it retro fit the OG screen stalk to back of mirror ?
it was a christmas sale on amazon WOLFBOX-G850
it just bungee straps over the OG mirror
i like the fact you can see 3 lanes behind you, instead of the standard port hole view out the back

this was a good example of the improvement https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/2173255.jpg
