Who It's For

This unit suits drivers upgrading an older single or double din head unit who want a reliable wired CarPlay or Android Auto experience and a large, responsive display for navigation and media. It is a good fit for people who value easy installation and bundled accessories like the wiring harness, frame and brackets.
