Does this work on all items?

I was thinking about a PB80UNV, but the code doesn't seem to work - and it's cheaper on amazon anyway.

Worth waiting for a black Friday deal??

Hi Rockatansky,

Sorry to hear about the issue here! Having dug into it, it seems the Pistonheads code has been disabled in anticipation of the Black Friday deals. I'm afraid they can't be used together.

However, I would definitely suggest it's worth waiting for a Black Friday deal here - there is 20% off everything we sell, so the final price for the unit you mention would be just over £200 - not a bad saving!

Again, apologies for the issue with the code, and happy shopping!

Thanks again,

XTRONS

Hi markiii!

I'll do my best to answer your questions here. Unfortunately I don't have a measurement for the bezel itself, but I'll include an image of the measurements and how they've been taken.

The screen in this case is NOT an IPS Screen.

Hope this helps! Let me know if I can elaborate further.

Best,

XTRONS

Hi there,

Apologies for the delay. Having checked, yes, the screen size includes the built-in buttons in this case.

Many thanks,

Hi there!

All our units are fitted by third-party professionals. Unfortunately we do not have any knowledge of fitters around the East Midlands, but we do have a recommended fitter in West Yorkshire.

- Leeds In Car Entertainment professionals 2DASH, for fitting times and prices please call Al on 07900 696 390. 

Other than that we have had plenty of success in simply getting a chain such as Halford's to fit it (other fitters are available!)

Hope this helps!

Best,

XTRONS

Hi I wonder if you can help me out as I am having problems with a few things, I purchased a few bits from yourselves the head unit I have fitted in a friend's car it is a PSD60UNN with a DAB+ unit and a CP02 interface dongle. I also have a DVR019 front facing camera. This is in a Nissan Xtrail 2012.

The problems I have are.

I can not get the camera to pick up on the head unit there is no USB simble in the drop down menu, or found in any file manager/Es explorer. It did show briefly the first time it was plugged in but then it's not appeared since.

The CP02 does nothing, the system works exactly the same if the charging/data cable is plugged into the dongle or directly into head unit USB. I have tried numerous apps to no prevail. I was under the impression this unit would give me android auto/apple car play just by plugging the phone via a charging/data cable.

I have had a look through the xtrons site for system updates and app updates.

Since removing the Oem head unit the dash information now doesn't change from the Range counter, Is this normal? If we can get these issues sorted out, do you do a steering wheel infer face for volume control and track skip.

Many thanks Dean.

Hi Dean!

Firstly, apologies but this is not my expertise.

This video may be of some help in setting up and connecting your CP02 unit -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16blSetp6C0&fe...

Also, apparently the DVR app is the one to go to for playback, rather than the USB.

Hope this makes sense!

Anything else I can help with on this, please just drop it below.

Many thanks,

XTRONS
