Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a double din head unit.

Have a look at a Clarion VX 603AU
On the internet you can be anything you want. It is strange that so many people choose to be stupid!

I have nothing but trouble with my clarion vx709a. Bluetooth keeps unpairing, doesnt support iphone contacts, intermittently doesnt recognise the same ipod plugeed in usb most of its life.

I bought a poineer which came with reverse camera and it has applink and mirror link. Not a bad unit but hard to see screen when in the direct sunlight does anyone else have the same problem

If you're willing to wait and spend lots of dough, Pioneer and Kenwood have announced aftermarket units that use Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto:

i bought couple months ago Pioneer AVH-X5700DAB, i am really happy with it. not cheap but bluetooth sound quality is amazing and android auto works great also. I installed a reverse cam and its really a help to park the 5 metres hilux.

The Elinz units are total garbage , I bought one 6 months ago and the Bluetooth is shit , radio reception is shit , gps is shit , only thing that works on it is the reverse camera . I got well and truly ripped off , in future I will stick to the known brands that do have after sales service . I rang these mofo's to complain about it but they didn't give a f..k . Steer clear of them.
