![]() General enquiry, please redirect if posted to the wrong forum.
I am thinking of installing an Android/Windows double din navigation unit. In previous cars I have used Kenwood DNX/Garmin D/D models. However I would prefer to have an easier installation and contemporary maps. Can anyone recommend a particular make/model? Or are all these Rover/MG/E46 compatible models the same but with a different badge? I've noted the Radioguy correspondence and also contacted Jubbarelly. I would appreciate user input. |

![]() I'll take it that nobody has any idea regarding the different models of the Android/Windows radios on the market. Whether they're all the same electronics with a generic Rover/E46 facia and a different badge, or there is a variation in quality and performance. I read references to 'cheapo Chinese units' but how to differentiate with better quality models?

![]() Not sure of the differences between the different Chinese brands but I fitted an android Xtrons unit to my sister's E46 and it is superb. Has all the features you could need
![]() Debating fitting the same unit to my ZT but sticking with the highline for now. |

![]() I think Windows units cant be updated, but the Androids can. You can add apps to them like a phone.
