Car radio advice.
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2017 5:17 pm
Hi all. I am new to this forum and glad to find like minded people. I recently bought a VW Polo Blue GT and I want to replace the standard radio unit. I have narrowed it down to two:
Pioneer SPH-DA120 Car Stereo with Apple CarPlay
or
Kenwood DMX-7017DABS CarPlay & Android Auto car stereo
I am liking the Pioneer more as it no buttons and looks neat. I am not a fan of the TPK Music device, so that will be removed. I would like to know if either of these units support the factory default rear parking sensors? I did pop in to Halfords in Hendon to speak to someone about this and he said that I can be done but the cable would be costly. I really do not mind as I was going to have the Kenwood DNX525 DAB Multimedia System installed, but after reading loads of negative reviews, that put me off (and saved some money!).
I have done some digging around about this and looks it is possible.
I would do the installation myself as I did my first car many years ago, but I do not intend to in this case though.
What are your thoughts regarding the above.
Thanks all.
