Thanks for that info. In the end I couldn't stomach spending so much on a car I might only keep a year or two, so I went for a second hand atoto a6 pro (VW fit) off eBay. I'll see if I can live with that. I'm hoping I can get Android auto working on it via 'head unit reloaded' and therefore won't be too bothered by it being rather long in the tooth processor and ram wise. We shall see... I might yet be back to the xtrons. Cheers Tom

Hello Gaff Wanted to thank you for the guide you put together... as an amateur - this sort of factual, clear and unbiased treatment is so useful when there is so little else to go on out there. I am searching for a suitable replacement for an RNS 315 in a 2013 Seat Alhambra. I tried a couple of cheaper head units (a "standard" double din Atoto A6 PRO and a Joying px6 vw fit) but ended up returning due to either hassles with fit or being disatisfied with screens, performance and features not seemingly working (FM radio being a major one). I have decided I likely need to spend a little more money on a VW fit - and am drawn to XTRONS IQ90MTVL as on paper it would seem to have good specifications. Few questions for you if you don't mind: - Did you resolve the bluetooth connectivity and android auto problems? These are quite key for me I think - Did you get FM reception without boosters, etc? - my research leads me to believe that the factory RNS units boost signals perhaps - Do you think the cars GPS antena (Fakra connector) could be reused for the nav? - Did you bother with a DAB+ dongle? The car has a DAB antenna, but I have mixed feelings about DAB given the reception is so generally poor in my area. I am left thinking i'd be more likely to use an app and my tethered phone connection Cheers Tom
