Mk2.5 double din replacement.

Hiya all.

 

I’m looking to upgrade the stock radio/cd player in my mk2.5  I’m looking at some Jvc, pioneer and kenwood units.  Can anyone recommend any?

Also. I have a power aerial will I still be able to use it with these aftermarket stereos??

 

Thanks Everyone.

keep those roofs down.

Hi Alfordmazza

I put a Pionneer avh-x3500dab in my mark 3, I cannot fault it, as for the aerial I can’t see why it won’t work http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_927709_langId_-1_categoryId_165655.please check this link out if it works hope this helps.

Hi Alfordmazza,

Just seen your post as I am also looking to replace the stock unit with a double din AV head.
I quite like the Kenwood units;

From what I’ve seen there does not seem to be a massive difference between units in terms of user interface. Happy to be challenged on that though!

As I am interested in DAB and the phone connection along with iPhone connectivity.

Not sure if the wires leading to DAB Ariel and phone mic can be tucked away though and don’t fancy them in the cabin.

How have you got on selecting a unit and with the install?
