I want to change the head unit on my vw t6 with a apple play compatible one that also supports the front and rear parking sensors.
One copay recommended me a alpine one but that was a grand which is a bit to expensive for my liking. Anyone have any recommendations?
MIB STD2 PQ is the OEM option isn't it? Quite a lot less than 1k second hand though you will probably need to get it coded to the van's VIN.
I just fitted a 2nd hand xav 3005db in my old t4 - it has single din at the back and double dinn at the front.
Was £200 - has carplay,dab,hands free and camera
Probably different sizing in a t6 or not?
Im not too sure if they are different size? Its not a reversing camera i looking for its the parking sensor bleeping image that im after
I think they are an all in one unit in T6's (rather than the split screen and head unit used in a lot of the cars). Here's one on eBay a seller that will code it as well https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335567873635 . If you contact them and say what you have an what you want they should be able to help. Even the most basic head unit will show the reversing sensors.
I bought a replacement headunit (the in glove box part which you don't have) for our old golf from that seller and it did exactly as described.
Perfect thanks a lot
Moody YSM crops up a lot on some of the T5/6/Caravelle groups on Facebook. Not used but they have great feedback responses from others.
They look like those pluscentre one you can get for £250

I've had one of his for about 2 years now and its spot on. Think you can get them cheaper if you scour Aliexpress etc. Just be aware that a lot of the feedback I think is questionable - its the same people who pop up time and time again within minutes of a "what T5.1 headunit?" post with glowing reviews but who contribute absolutely zero the the forums otherwise. Seems a bit sus...
That sounds promising how much was it if you dont mind me asking? And did you keep the original car features

Off the top of my head, about £250. Don't quote me on this but I think it does retain factory sensors on the screen if you have them (I don't). But its plug & play, looks original (which I like), Android Auto & Apple Car Play via the wired connection (keep thinking I might get a little USB dongle to make it wireless) and bluetooth for wireless music & calls.
Forgot to add - if you want to search for it yourself, its listed as the VW RCD360. I don't think VW ever actually did an RCD360 but its a copy of the Chinese domestic market only RCD330 (or some random story like that!).
Did you have dab radio before they all seem to say dab through a app
If you want cheaper than Alpine, look at Pioneer or Sony units that support Apple CarPlay. They work well in the T6 when paired with the correct CANBUS interface, which is what keeps the front and rear parking sensors working on screen. Most issues people have come from cheap wiring looms, not the head unit itself. Spend a bit on a good interface and install, and even a mid range Pioneer will do everything you need.I want to change the head unit on my vw t6 with a apple play compatible one that also supports the front and rear parking sensors.

I've bought from him in the past he's sound. Went for an upgraded OE headunit for my Caddy. Did try a cheap unbranded andriod unit afew months ago (was offered it for next to nothing) but it was hard to use and most importantly sounded shite. Sure the good ones are much better though!
