    Guys.

    I am in a real pickle!

    I sold my faulty( been suggested that main board has gone) Columbus so I have bit of £££. I was going to buy android HU for 200 but my friend said he can get me Columbus for bit extra £££. 

    I really liked Columbus but had bad experience which cost me a lot.

    Used Columbus are usually £400 but could get for less then that.

    Question is ( and sorry if I will repeat it as probably was asked before on this forum) should I go with android or Columbus ( which will be around £100 more then android )

    Thanks 

    Wiring loom for retrofitting steering wheel

    Quick update 

    I replaced wiring loom and control module.  With help of a friend we managed to get steering wheel working. Only thing which is not working from steering wheel is trip computer scroll up/down button. I can change between 1 and 2trip by pressing scroll buttom but not to go through trip option. Trip computer works from stalk so its ok with me.

    Thanks for help Eddie

    Have had it since November, 

    The igo maps seem ok but I have was using a Tomtom before so tees aome getting used to, dose hover have full post code search and good language guidance,  you can also update on their website alough I haven't tried yet,

    Yes  I made an offer and got a massive  £8 off!

     

    The only disappointment I have was the length of the microphone wire, just enough to get to the top of the drivers A pillar site I have the mic poking out from behind the A pillar trim, I would have preferred up near the mirror so the passage coluld be heard better. 

     

     

    Thanks Cryonut

    I am more convinced to go with Erisin now

    I have an Erisin one albeit in the Bolero shape but this one is Columbus shaped and is plug and play, the Can Bus is also built in so no extra wires, in your budget also and the built in IGO Sat Nav software is GPS based so no dongle needed, had mine a year and no issues with it, intergrates with all the goodies in the car. It's also Android 7.1.

     

    Oh and it's also UK supplied not Hong Kong, mine was delivered in a couple of days.

    We go abroad 2-3 times a year for 1-2 weeks. I am wondering about cost of using dongle abroad. 

    Sorry for all the questions but this is new for me. In Columbus maps were preloaded.

    I think I will have to stretch my budget. There are some units on ebay for 228 or best offer with android 6 and octacore. I could offer 200 and see

    This unit should fit my car as have same dimensions as Columbus
