I am toying with the idea of fitting a DD unit to the old tractor. I'm not massively fussy about the latest of everything - my main reasons for contemplating it are:

(1) satnav on a screen rather than my phone (Android)

(2) I'd REALLY like one of those systems fitted to modern cars which show you a panoramic view of what's behind you when reversing, with guidelines which move from side to side as you proceed.

I also need to use it as a radio, to make phone calls, and stream music from my phone - but I'm guessing they all do that

One thing I don't want to have to do is lift carpets to run cables etc, but i understand you can get bluetooth reversing cameras, so I'd need a unit which would work that way.

Any recommendations please? Happy to have 2nd hand if anybody's upgrading

PS about 10 years ago I had a VERY bad experience with a unit purchased from a trader here (seems he's gone now), so maybe I should say that the unit needs to fit in the hole without my having to take a file and hacksaw to the dash, and boot up in less than 30 seconds when I turn the ignition on
