Vw aftermarket android stereos (are they any good)

[@shaunbakewell702]

You make me want to buy a caddy more and more after each vid, bmw is up for sale and then caddy incoming. Keep up the great content

[@93CostaCaddy]

I bumped into Nathan and Darren at the services and ended up with a Caddy... Still can't work out how it happened 😂

[@ShaunThompson-cr9wm]

I found DTE on KZbin, got a shed of a builders van caddy, have touran front end, 1.9 PD hybrid turbo, touran mirrors, electric windows insulated carpet lined led roof lights, all from watching these videos, Nathan is a life saver, saved me a lot in labour, even the wife watches the channel now, I don’t know how it happened either 😂😂😂

[@iamyourfuture808]

im old enough to remember when head units were about three foot deep and you'd have to jam them in with all that wireing loom behind 🥴

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud good to hear from ya.. I actually said the same to Andy, not only where the stereos a lot bigger so was the loom and that you had to squeeze the stereo in 😂👍👍

[@olibarnett87]

I feel ya . Still growing back the skin on my knuckles

[@PaulPaul-fo8qj]

Had to take the old head units out with cut up coat hangers, from the dry cleaners

[@karl3927]

Thank you for the video Nathan. Lovely stereo upgrade on Andy's Caddy for little cost. He must be very happy with it. Looking forward to seeing the new project - ah ye.

[@andzonit4380]

Yes I am thank you mate 😊

[@terjeanton]

Eonon VWA 12 S here. Great and fast display (6 GB version) Fit right in. Cheap and no cut of wires 😉

[@Thatpropertylife]

That's the one I had in my caddy which is now sold. Loved the large touch screen display.

[@LizzyFerretOfficial]

I put a very similar OEM look one in my T5.1 (it even has the same screen for linking via BT) and you’re absolutely right bud, it’s the amount of Cores and the RAM capacity that folk need to look out for when buying. On all the forums you’ll see folk saying “avoid the chinese stuff” which is daft given virtually everything electronic is made in China! 😂 It’s just that they haven’t been prudent to look out for the memory and capacity is why they’ve had a bad experience. Mine did have a poor mic though so I just wired up a third party £6 mic and that solved the problem. Great stuff! Enjoy Andy!

[@YTDTETV]

Hey Lizzy I’m happy with the unit in mine to being the oem look, yep the ram speed and this one is an octocore I think that means 8 processors. Some people do comment saying that seen a similar one for a lot less and we both know it’s not as good. That’s right everything is made in China and I have no problem with that you just need to spend an extra couple of quid to buy the better model instead of click on price lowest first. Thanks bud 👍

[@andzonit4380]

Thank you mate 😊

[@francishagen8508]

Takk!

[@k-techmodules]

Nathan Thank you for the fantastic installation and review video! We’re glad Andy is liking the stereo. Just to confirm on the battery drain issue, did you try unplugging the red and orange power connector to see if this prevented the issue before you cut the loom and installed the ignition live?

[@andzonit4380]

Thank you, I really do appreciate you. Yes I love it, really good quality bit of kit.😊

[@Badjamin]

Hi @k-techmodules will this unit work in a VW T6? if so will it allow the steering wheel controls to work? Can you also convince Nath from @YTDTETV to come up to Huddersfield to fit it for me? Ah yeh!

[@k-techmodules]

@ the unit will fit a t6 but you will require an distill wiring harness to convert the qua lock in your t6 to the older style

[@paulcottier93]

It’s bloody freezing Nathan here in Manchester to 🥶cool little video nice stereo nice to see Andy’s caddy AHEY!👍🏻

I have a K-Tech unit in my 2011 transporter & is absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend these units

[@k-techmodules]

Thanks Joe!

[@liambaker7646]

Great video! I do have a question as to where the glovebox is from or if its just a lid

[@Thatpropertylife]

I love android headunits, it's just like having an android tablet in the dash. Only downside on them I've found are the amplifiers in them are pony.

[@jonbrookes77]

Do you need to fit a DAB aerial to get the radio to work? Really liking the OEM look 👍

[@k-techmodules]

The stereo doesn’t support DAB only FM/AM. But when your have CarPlay or android auto, DAB isn’t required as you can use radio apps and music apps instead.

[@jonbrookes77]

@k-techmodules thanks for clarifying 🙂

[@whatsdavedone104]

​@@k-techmodules all android units support DAB....even the very cheap ones 😂

[@OlBIIBOSS]

A video on ignition live would be great. There are so many different good and bad options that people suggest for radios and camera etc. Piggy-backing fuse 19 (Transporter) seems to be the a good, if not perfect, option. It does seem very unclear what best practive is, especially if you have multiple requirements such as an Android head unit and a camera that also needs ignition live. I have no idea how my standard radio (T5.1) comes on with the ignition as I don't have ignition live going to the radio...some voodoo magic...

[@daleedwards1501]

Excellent I'm currently looking for a new head unit & this looks good Does it have rca so you can hook up an amplifier

[@k-techmodules]

Yes it does

[@andzonit4380]

Ah yeh 👍

[@davidstocking1622]

Look sweet Nath. Was the battery drain as a result of connecting to a permanent 12v live?

[@YTDTETV]

Hi David, with vw’s the stereo power is controlled by the canbus unit and when you fit an aftermarket stereo the canbus doesn’t recognise it so the canbus doesn’t switch it completely off causing a battery drain. Cutting the red wire that’s the switch live and connecting it to a switched live fuse that then turns the stereo off when you pull the key out. Hope that helps

[@k-techmodules]

@@YTDTETVNathan did you disconnect the red and orange power lead/connector to see if this rectified the power drain issue before cutting the loom and adding the ignition live?

[@YTDTETV]

@ I didn’t bud, I can try that and report in another video 👍

[@mrscotthall82]

HI, there have you done some content one one for the T5, I have a 2004 T5, am looking for one for this, I know can upgrade to curved facia too I suppsose, what do you think ?

[@chrismajor2501]

When you refitted the unit you missed a 2 pin plug one was out the loom the other was sticking out the stereo this was the can bus. I did this in mine and when I took it out to add the usb I noticed it and now I see door open and things, test you added the module but you need to do the 2 pin wire too. Ah ya

[@deanlucas6393]

Brilliant 👍

[@YTDTETV]

Thanks Dean 👍

[@IJm3]

It's a shame you can't put the heater controls under the stereo

[@YTDTETV]

I think I have seen people move the heater controls but I didn’t see how

[@Sheenmeemseen]

[@Vandays25]

Hey Nathan, will this one fit in the t5? Ah-ye

[@k-techmodules]

Yes it will 👍🏼

[@TheAlluFIN]

Did I understand correctly that the colors of the car's own wires match the adapter you connected? Did the adapter come with the player or did you buy it separately?

[@TheAlluFIN]

Or was it the case that your car's wires were no longer original and the radio's own wires go directly to the caddy?

[@YTDTETV]

Hello, no the colours are different from the stereo loom and the car and yes the wires and connectors all come with the stereo 👍

[@k-techmodules]

@@TheAlluFINthe wiring in Andy’s caddy wasn’t the standard loom it had been adapted in the past. Our stereo is plug and play if you have the standard stereo connector.

[@Jayduds74]

Ah Ye can you get them for t5 👍

Yes bud this exact stereo fits the T5.1 to. If you have the earlier T5 then you need to watch my video from last year. Let me know and I can add a link to it 👍
