Double din media unit for Fiat based motorhome
Discussion
This seems like a sensible place to start, so I will!
I have an Autotrail motorhome with an "upgraded" media centre. this consists of a drop down monitor fed by a double din headunit that encompasses a CD/DVD player, a radio, (not DAB), and a DVB-T. The only ID I can find on the unit is 11ELE2000. The monitor was to small for the van anyway and decided to go pop so I've changed that out, (rightly or wrongly to an Xtrons 17" unit).
Yippee, change of monitor worked and I now have a picture using the DVB-T from the head unit, picture isn't as good as I'd hoped for though. Thought I'd try a DVD to see if picture quality improved, however the unit gives me a disk error message regardless of what region the DVD is or how many different disks I try. Basically it looks like this is borked as well. Searched the t'internet and it would appear that the entire Autotrail media setup is, on the whole, crap!
So to my question: what options do I have? I've had a quick look around and it seems like a minefield! Android or not? Known brand or not? Interface needs to be intuative and fairly straight forward but I don't really want to blow a load of cash. I do however want a reasonable sound and picture and I would like to have the features listed above. (Mot asking too much then!) I guess DAB may not be a bad thing to have but not too bothered one way or the other and I'm also not particularly bothered if the unit has satnav capability.
At this moment in time I really don't know if the existing head unit has DVB-T built in or if there is a box buried in the dash.
Help and advice please peeps.
