After speaking to the guys at Car Audio Security the other week, I mentioned my disliking of the Kenwood DNX520VBT unit and they suggested trying the newer version of it, the DNX525DAB:

Looks like a massive improvement over the previous units so may scan eBay for a good priced unit and see how I get on with it. Importantly, it's fully OEM supported so all the functions in my mk6 Golf that use the stereo screen should still work just like stock.

Hiya, can you elaborate on your disliking of the Dnx520?

Anyone made the switch from an RNS510 to an Apple CarPlay headunit, such as a Pioneer?

Currently have an RNS510 Q and hate it.

Did you get round to buying the Kenwood DNX525DAB? It's one I have been looking at getting soon, but have also taken an interest to the Pioneer AVIC-F70DAB.

Anybody got either of the above two mentioned?

Looks like they've gone up in price? But I'm not too far from there shop, may have to pop in there to see what they have in stock.

I'm still miffed there's only a handful of Android Auto headunits available in the UK :( CAD only stock 3 models from Pioneer, and Kenwood don't seem to have any UK models yet (there are a couple of models on their US site)

I desperately want something that properly integrates with my Galaxy S6!

I think the pioneer sdh da120 is android car comparable, but requires a different lead.
