Did you get the GAP App working? Have downloaded it but won’t recognise the tool. Have no problem with recognising both Apple and Samsung devices.

Thanks

How does your unit go regarding space behind it?
I'm looking at getting the wifi "aerial" thingy with it as well.
The price doesn't worry me, just the fitting in!

Hi Alan. I didn’t think I was going to be able to get the new head unit in. I ended up pushing cords and connectors up into the aircon vent spaces on both sides. There was still room for the the aircon vents to fit back in. I had to re-route the GPS aerial, 2x USB and reversing camera cables up and across the air vent space. Had them routed lower and couldn’t get the head back in. Lonerangie must have some sort of Tardis deal going on back there if he can fit a solid state HDD there. I would think that the wire harnesses would be similar even though I have an Xtrons and he has Eonon. What’s the secret??

Solved. The Eonon is 126mm deep while the Extrons is 156mm.

So If looking around I would set max depth at 156mm and that is a real squeeze.

On a side question - my brothers Mazda 6 has an android radio fitted and looks original - nice fit. It is about 10" though and a very nice size.

The one fitted in this thread is 7" and the fitting kit is for this size - can you get fitting kits for larger size android radios. Looking at the 7" fitted there is enough space around it for a larger unit but I am not sure if fitting kits are made for larger units.

Anyone know?

Thanks

gap iid requires bluetooth version 4 or higher to work.

The larger screen units are still a standard double din size so you could fit one.

Xtrons make a couple of universal double din units with a 10” screen for $400. The screen isn’t flush but protrudes out. The screen can be tilted for best viewing angle. Just depends if you like a flush fit or not. Head unit is 153mm deep so should fit just.

I know you can buy larger units but can you buy a fitting kit for a D3/RRS ie the surround panel that will fit a larger screen - if so any links?

Thanks

Its the same kit, screen just protrudes from the unit instead of sitting flush.
