In the current market, there are now many cheaply built replica units which look similar to ours but have extremely poor internals and parts such as thin flimsy metal frames and cheap plastics. These are simply low-grade, low-quality, cheaply built products which are flooding the market, many with even fake specifications! Which is why it is always important to choose a highly reputable and trusted source like Audio Tech Direct to avoid any disappointments.

Polished, fast, smooth
I was a little bit worried about getting an Android head unit as I'd heard that they can be shody, but this is anything but. With a few adapters+extras I've got the stock DAB + FM + GPS antennas connected, reverse camera working (when entering R gear) and even the stock USB sockets all working.) In short I now have a nicer and more responsive head unit for my VW Sharran. No regrets.

Skoda Superb Replacement
Having finally installed the radio for the final time I am very pleased. It is a nice bit of kit but comes with no installation instructions although it is rather intuitive. My only “problems” were that my Skoda had GPS and DAB and so the antennae were already hard wired to the car; rather than use the GPS antenna that came with the radio I needed to buy an adapter cable to match the connectors. Similarly with DAB, the supplied DAB unit is required but it can be connected to the hard wired DAB antenna with an additional adapter cable not supplied. I spoke to customer services several times prior to purchasing and they were very helpful . Overall I am very pleased with the radio.
