This looks like a good alternative when the Columbus, Bolero packs up...

and you'll need the adaptor kit for the Superb too...

Who's got plenty of cash and wants to try it first?

Pointless unless your entire family has iOS devices - it only supports CarPlay, not Android Auto.  No good for our household as I have an iPhone and my wife a Galaxy S7 Edge

I agree. My wife is a huge iPhone fan and hates carplay since it forces the use of Apple maps, which are total crap.

In her car, we always use android auto when on a road trip. It seems a trifle to have added android auto as well and address the larger market.

I am looking for something like this head unit which is working with the park sensors and climate controls, and steering wheel controls and is not a cheap chinese android based head unit.

Likely this would work.

Isn't it strange that with the number of rns510 / Columbus units in existence that there is not a perfect and easy to replace unit with full oem functionality.

Then she'll be pleased to know that the new iOS 'unlocks' Carplay so you can use 3rd party maps.

great info folks, thanks!
