Hi Sjonnie
That was an interesting thread of yours, I have been trying to contact Radioguy several times without success and wondered why - now I know. As far as the Navall Star is concerned, I wish I had never bothered to buy one, continual problems with radio not locking onto stations and DVR recording onto both sd card and the music usb and mostly not playing back so pretty useless. Anyway thanks for your info. Simulator |

Hi Simulator,
Thanks! In case you are considering replacing the Star I suggest contacting Julian (Jubbarelly) He's selling Xtrons and provides great service (I am having some minor issues with mine and he is being very supportive). No affiliation though

I have an xtrons full face double din unit in my car. Brilliant sound quality and I use Waze on it from the Google app store for navigation. Traffic info is up to the second when tethered to your phone, including potholes, breakdowns, speed traps, the works.

This is mine, but you can get 8-core versions now too. This works fine for me: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F143013945913

I have this one: https://www.androidice.co.uk/index.p...-75-mg-zt.html
Absolutely love the look and no extra fascia (saving a few pounds) and an no hassle wiring because all the adapters specific to our cars are included From Jubbarelly of course

Cheers for the links
Does the latter one require a sim card, and can the first one be used as a radio and USB player without the phone being present? |

I am not sure what you want exactly but the Xtrons I referred to does not require a SIM to operate. If you want TMC you need a mobile phone to tether with. Or you might consider a 3G/4G dongle.

The universal DD from Amazon you have linked in your first post will fit your 75/ZT, you will need a CT23RO01 Double DIN Facia Plate, also the correct loom etc.
I have the same generic DD which is Android, you can get them a lot cheaper from time to time, its just a case of doing your homework. The after-market E46 units are also generic Chinese electronics, you just pay more money for the same tat just because of the E46 design. Its the same with any of the after-market direct fit equipment for all marques, you pay more for the privilege. Here is my universal android DD. Last edited by Dallas; 11th January 2019 at 17:11.. |

Sound quality on all of the Xtrons units is about twenty times better than standard. The software equaliser and DSP are excellent.
