Single din head unit with DAB, reversing camera & Sat Na
Hello Folks,

Does any one know of a single din head unit with a screen, dab, reversing camera display, phone Bluetooth, Sat Nav and preferably a removable front for security?!

Cheers,

Edmond

Have a look at that, compare spec with what you want and check for the best price on the net.
The hands free Siri commands look interesting I must say.

Looks very interesting; thanks Smile
If the App Radio Mode works with Tom Tom on an iPhone, that would solve the Sat Nav. Alas it has no DAB though :-/

Yes, unfortunately a lot of the single din flip out HU's do not have DAB.
Most 2din versions do, most of the market is going 2din which is very costly in a Defender and in my opinion I'm not sure it suits but I'm sure I'd get used to it.
Currently I have my Kenwood.
Only use for music and BT, not DAB and the Sat Nav at£400 is far to expensive

I can't see the point in DAB myself.
Why roll it out if most things on the market and manufacturers can't move over to it. Rolling Eyes

The big issue that I see with most fancy head units is you're spending a lot of money to get something that an Android tablet plus a basic head unit with an aux in will do better and cheaper. Once you've got a decent tablet mount, you can then easily and cheaply replace/update the "brains" and take it away for security.

From memory, I think there's a distressingly expensive Clarion which does some of this... 502Z or something? I don't think it's DAB though.
The issue is that to get a screen worth having in a single DIN unit means a folding one and I think the mechanisms for this are complicated and fiddly so manufacturers are ditching them to make way for larger solid state units with touch screens.

I agree that it's ludicrous that every radio sold now doesn't have DAB. I know some areas are better than others, but I really love listening to DAB as I drive around the country. Crystal clear.

Agree about the tablet, you can get a full size iPad for approx £4 - £500 to use anywhere home and out too if you like. Then carry it if you need to.
BT streaming also works well.
Pity there isn't a dash you can just plug and clip and iPad or tablet into and use that simple as..

If you were interested in smartphone / iPad use then Mud are doing them and the sale makes it sweeter.
Pity it's at the wrong time for me too.

Cheers. I'll be using my iPhone and prefer the Brodit holders. I do really want to add DAB too, so my search will continue. Do have a feeling I don't have any choice but to do double din, which means cost, which means I shall have to hold off for a while!
