I'm looking at upgrading our bog standard black and white VW head unit in 2014 T5.1 Multivan.

We've not got reversing camera, but do have on screen reversing sensor image as well as beepers. I can be flexible on this as we have the audible beepers.

It needs:
- wireless Auto and Car play (main use).
- DAB
- FM radio
- reasonable sound quality.

I've some cash in PayPal so a UK based eBay seller would work well.
Any if the Chinese/imported brands to look out for?

I bought an RCD440 head unit a couple of years ago - it’s a standard fit OEM model in other markets, commonly China. For just under £200 at the time it gives all those functions above. I’m not sure what their availability / pricing is now.

I recently bought this one. Ebay, UK seller wireless android auto (pictured) and carplay. Dab and all the other usual stuff. Sounds better, much more power than stock unit. Skoda yeti pictured but it's the same unit across the vw group. £320 but worth it imho
