I think I got it wrong about the TA button, it’s probably traffic alert as mentioned above

My only issue with mine is that in a long list that I need to scroll through by swiping, it quite often activates an option I'm trying to swipe past.
Android car stereo uk says this may be the screen protector...
Apart from that, it's great value for money

thnaks for the replys @jimc91
On the bluetooth v wifi issue, does this only occur when you need a wifi connection for the internet or other apps, rather than for Android Auto? I assume the phone connects autmatically for AA through wifi and you don't have to turn off bluetooth each and every time?

It's way smarter to look at than the old standard unit I had. Android auto works fine.
I've only really used the wifi a few times to download carista, renogy and Fogstar apps.
Occasionally it doesn't connect but it's likely cause my phone is 5yr old and a bit glitchy.
It's good value in my opinion.

I found it quite easy. I've routed it up the a pillar and stuck it above driver's seat.
That's interesting; after downloading the apps do they work with bluetooth?
None of the apps I would want to use are compatible with android auto unfortunately.
Dunno what apps you would want to use.
It's got apple car play but why would you? Hehe
I was just thinking about ablemail, victron apps etc so that I could monitor the leisure system off it. They're not android auto compatible so I can't use them currently.

I didn't bother with mic, just plugged it all in and it worked fine with VW mic which was a bonus.
that's good to know. Perhaps I don't bother, but then for £7 might as well bung it on the order so I've got the option....
The unit has arrived, long with the parts that @Dundee_Kev has suggested. Does anyone have any installation videos? I'm really confused on the Amazon DAB receiver for example. I thought I could just connect to the existing DAB antenna?
Anyone know how I connect the dab receiver to the van's dab aerial? I got the connectors recommended on this thread but can't seem to work it out.
What DAB receiver have you got. My understanding of them was that they had their own aerial as an input, then either connected to the head unit via usb, or transmitted either a bluetooth or FM signal that the headunit could tune into.
Can't help sorry. I haven't sorted dab on mine as I just use android auto for the radio.
