Update: I have received and installed the Unique AD unit. The install could be improved a bit, but it's there and CarPlay with the main features of navigation and music works.

I'd love to know how the Unique installation went. I had looked at this system but was perturbed by a review on their own website which commented that the audio quality of the whole system was not great post-installation.

I've had some issues with it. Sometimes a black screen if a certain iPhone is connected via wireless Carplay, so we had to unpair that one from the Unique unit.

Anyone tried this one? Uses the standard screen.

This one is the cheapest. They all seem pretty similar, with a unit that replaces the factory nav unit.

I think it’s hilarious when I made a suggestion, I was attacked and he isn’t happy with ignoring my suggestion and it only took him 2 years to make a decision, but if it takes someone 2 years, then they probably don’t take well to suggestions, even after posting on a public platform asking the public for advice. I can only bellow like a dwarf outta a peter Jackson movie: BWAHAHAHA! |

That looks like as great solution. Has anyone installed it on here? |

The price of it is about the same as the latest Android screen that also comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and retains the original infotainment system anyway (viewed and controlled via the screen). A much better experience using CarPlay on a larger higher definition screen.

Hi Gary, I've just bought a 2015 SDV8 Abio L405, can you advise a link where you bought that screen, and any issues installing it?
