Good Head Units for T5.1 ?

[AhrnNilsson]

Hi, I saw the very long thread about the best stereo for the T6, but I don't need all the fancy features; I just need a few. I have an older 2010 van. I assume a lot of people wonder this as well.

-Wireless CarPlay, but wired would also be OK
- Working with parking sensors I only have rear
-Nice Fitment
-work with steering wheel controls
- Plug and play would be a big plus, but I can wire and look for adapters!

Rcd330 is a good option IMO, nice upgrade from stock but looks oem. Wired carplay, parking sensors, plug and play

I went for the Kenwood DMX8021DABS in my old T5.1 - simple enough to install, connected to my MFSW, had wireless carplay (which was my main use), and worked with parking sensors front & rear and linked into my Kenwood dashcam. Retails around £450 ish.
There's a newer version available now but it doesn't seem to be much different other than being a short-body unit a few other updates for an extra £100-150.
