Hi Scrump, thanks for your response! We do have Double DIN models, and our catalogue can be organised by manufacturer. Products that fit Porsche models are here - https://xtrons.co.uk/porsche

And Double DIN models are here - https://xtrons.co.uk/head-units/double-din-car-ste...

There is of course some overlap between the two categories.

This model of surround plate would seem to fit with what you’re asking for - https://xtrons.co.uk/porsche-various-fascia-panel-...

In response to your question about Android Auto, whilst this is relatively new tech, many of our units support Screen Mirroring in the same manner, look for the “Screen Mirroring” function in the tech specs. In order to make calls hands free, and to use DAB+, you would need to order a DAB+ receiver stick and a microphone separately. Both are available from our Accessories store -

Fascia Panels, wiring adapter cages and ISO harnesses are available here -

In response to your question about Android versions, the Android version is tied to the hardware, though the smartphone itself can be changed so long as it runs the same Android version. We can update the firmware, but not the Android OS. I'm sure there are workarounds, but we can only recommend you run the units with the OS they are designed for!

Hope this helps!

Best,

XTRONS staff.

[quote=paulrockliffe]Oh hello, I do like your stuff and nearly bought one when I was looking to upgrade to DAB in my older car, but I don't drive enough these days so. Good to know there's a discount out there if I ever get to drive again......

Meant to add, can you find a way to get the buttons onto the right, or an option for no buttons and a remote mountable button panel or stalk thing?

In a world of 3D printers, I could probably do something myself, but think it would open the market up for more options.



Hi Paul, while we don't do custom items for the classic Mini, we do have a range of stereos in standard single and double DIN sizes, which could be paired with Steering Wheel Controls for a similar effect?

I have a 997.1 2006 car with BOSE. Do the specific head units come in grey as well as black, and is a BOSE adaptor included?

Hi there, our Porsche units come with Optical Fiber Decoder for the factory digital amplifier sound system.

We are going to run this question by our engineers to see if that can hook up with the BOSE systems. We'll let you know

In terms of the head-units, the most suitable ones for your very awesome car can be found here https://xtrons.co.uk/porsche

Hi do you have a RHD W204 unit (2013 model) ?

Was very tempted until I saw in the tech specs it's for LHD only

Hi!

We're very sorry, but we only have a LHD version of that stereo as it stands, for US and EU markets.

Thanks for your question!

Best,

XTRONS

Hi there
I have a merc gla 250. 2016. Running ntgs 5. Is there any way i can upgrade to command with android play without changing the head unit. If not what aftermarket units would you do so as i can have this system and also with dvd. Thanks. Andy

Hi there!

In terms of software, unfortunately we don't have the expertise to recommend upgrades, and this would be a question you'd have to put to the car's manufacturer. Whilst we have units for most Mercedes-Benz models, we do not have any specific to the GLA series.

Sorry we don't have better news!

Best,

XTRONS

Thanks, please let me know as I would like to fit one.

Hi again!

Thanks for your patience. Having chatted with our engineers, the Optical Fiber Decoder will connect with the BOSE system, there should be no need for an extra adapter.

Thanks!

Why are your units not standard double DIN sizing? Serious question it's a real pain to hack away at plastic surrounds when replacing an old unit. context here is an lexus IS300

Hi there!

Really sorry you had this issue! If the stereo wasn't suitable, or you need more technical data, can I please refer you to [e-mail] - they should be able to help with any item or vehicle specifics, and direct you to the right kit!

Again, sorry for the issue!

Many thanks,

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, ref

https://xtrons.co.uk/audi-seat-various-android-10-...

can you confirm how the 8" screen size is measured does it include the permanent buttons on the left?

additionally can you confirm the dimensions of the front bezel? and its an IPS screen?

thanks

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
