Default Super budget double din install

New head unit in the rover 75 today. Cheap and chearful but android 8 and does everything I want / need it to do.

Mg7 trim was £20 and head unit was under £60 (might have been £45 as it was in sale via eBay). Mechless so no CD player but GPS, sd reader, USB readers, USB charging, and all the usual features.

Now to get bothered with doing the reversing camera and sensors soon.

If your after one check it out here

And the trim

A small video of it booting so you see its not a slow unit.

That looks great for the money. Is there any DAB option?

No idea. I'm in a 100gb data contract so I just stream as digital radio is horrific in Northern Ireland.

Yeah great. I've installed Google maps which updates via my blue tooth teething or if it's near my WiFi.

Also have Navigatior on it as a back up and Igo as the standard app.

All 3 are great and run hassle free. I just have it boot to sat nav and radio when I start each time. Only bad thing was the sat nav GPS receiver was a touch short so it's on the a pillar instead of the roof however signal quality is still around 93% having done a test around country antrim yesterday evening.

32gb class 10 sd card on route now, plan to move all apps to it and keep the main unit as free as possible, also means I can pull it out and update via pc anytime or via my sd reader for my phone also. Very handy when your abroad.

On the bright side though: the unit cost little over £7 per month That's not too bad
