Each to their own but I definitely fancy getting one as a much better way of hooking up my iPhone for music than using a Bluetooth adapter at the AUX IN. Plus an up to date sat nav capability via Google or the App of your choice on your phone. Plus rear view camera screen. What’s not to like? |

For pre facelift models: Better navigation apps (TomTom, copilot, Google maps, Waze, et Al), speed camera warnings, Spotify, TPMS, Reversing camera. Have DAB on car audio so don't need but is an option. Easier to fit than trying to get android tablet to fit (my opinion). Andy Freelander2 HSE (59 Plate, MY10 spec) |

so is the model he is fitting XTRONS PA77DLRPL ? If so, I can only find this item on ebay . . . . .a place in china, which I would avoid, seems to have all the wiring he has in the video https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-Android-10-0-...%7Ciid%3A1

I suspect it’s probably only available via eBay or direct from Xtrons. They do have a UK website but that doesn’t mean much. I’d rather buy with PayPal via eBay than direct. At least I’d feel I would have some comeback if it never turned up.

Thanks, Northcroft. For info, Xtrons sell on eBay - see https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-Android-10-0-...3560383353 - and would seem to offer better prices there than via their website. They claim on their eBay ad that the item is posted from within the U.K. so there shouldn’t be any concerns about import duty and taxes. |

I see they have a lot of negative reviews which put me off a bit ! 2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -

I suspect there’s always an element of risk in purchases like this but there’s perhaps a little bit of additional security using eBay rather than just buying direct. But a risk nonetheless. But it is tempting ... |

Hello, Been trying to fit this unit having seen the video. PA70DLRL. I have a Freelander 2 S with just the cubby hole. All connections seem to go together everything seemed to slot back in nicely but press on button on original radio-nothing. So back through to check connections etc, seems ok still nothing. Checked radio fuse (N0 6? under glove box. OK. So disconnected every thing put back to original, turn on radio and nothing! so everything else on central console fine just radio not working Any ideas? other fuses? Specific fault codes to look for? Cheers |

I didn't think I'd like this, but it actually looks really nice and has none of the downsides of trying to replace the whole head unit. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
