Thread: Touchscreen head units that fit?

I have been looking at getting a JOYING unit search google images for JOYING landrover discovery they have some odd sizes that would be better for the space from what I have seen.

I bookmarked this one a while ago

Joying single din stereo. Anyone tried this one? - Page 3 - Land Rover Forums - Land Rover Enthusiast Forum

Thanks Loko, I've been looking at this brand and style on AliExpress and I figured the ones that have a swiveling tablet style screen would probably work the best. Feedback on rigidity would be interesting, especially when off road as this could be a bit of a question mark.

Have fitted one these..

7" screen fits neatly in the original area.

Have adapted mine so the screen can swivel towards the driver.

I bought all the extras-Tyre pressures, front and rear cameras, OBD2 diagnostics( not expecting much from this if it works)

Haven't got everything up and running yet, but like the way it slots in the space nicely.

Regarding offroad work,- maybe check with someone else.

Note- the chassis of the unit is shorter than the standard DIN size and therefore doesn't slot into the holder in the rear of the dash.
Could be adapted so it does tho'..

cheers

Actually, I've just about settled on this exact model. Just this afternoon I found an old Samsung 7" tablet with almost the exact same dimensions as that unit and it fits about as perfect as can be into the radio facia area. Does it really need to be tilted for basic operation? I will have a Samsung tablet mounted directly above it on a RAM mount for the more complex stuff like maps and Google Earthing etc. I also really like the idea of a volume control too, although it looks like it might be a bit tiny?

Ha ha. This old Landy is chewing up the cash at a rapid rate of knots. Buying one of them, as nice as it is, would land me in divorce court!
