I have just fitted a double din Android 8.1 head unit into our 1.4 Greenline. I had to purchase the parts required off Ebay, and this consisted of Headunit (£59.99), Connect 2 CT20SK01 Fabia harness adaptor (£4.95) which I had to cut the ISO connectors off to solder to the headunit connector wires, inline Aerial amplifier (£3.40), Double Din fascia adaptor (£9.89), piggy back blade fuse holder (£1.95). There has been some cutting of the dashboard - where not seen - to allow the headunit to fascia fasteners to fit but overall this has worked out considerably cheaper than the custom fit units available (generally around £200). The headunit bought has satnav built in, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a reversing camera was supplied which I still have to fit, the wiring has been pre-installed to be accessible from the pop off cover at the passenger side end of the dash. The advantage of the Android units over the cheaper WINCE units is that basically you can download from the Play Store via the inbuild Wi-Fi through your home router if you can get close enough to find a signal, or use your phones data connection. The unit came with IGO satnav installed, but I have loaded CoPilot from the store. I have also installed Torque which can be used with a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi OBD2 adaptor.

 The unit has two external wired USB connections that I have located in the holders in front of the gearlever, to which I have added a USD stick with music on one, and to the other I have added a DAB unit which is transmitted onto a unused radio frequency - this is not ideal so I will try to mate via Bluetooth.

 The GPS and DAB aerial wires are routed up the passenger side window trim with the aerials stuck to the top of the windscreen. As you will see from the photo, the unit does not fully fill the fascia with 6mm gaps down each side and 12mm at the top. I had to take an ignition controlled live from the fusebox using a piggy back fuse adaptor. This has not been a plug/play due to soldering etc but proves to be a cheaper alternative.

What does it sound like?

Great value, do you have an ebay listing number?

 

Considerably cheaper than the custom fit units as you say but does it decode the canbus inputs for reversing sensors, door open warnings, steering angle (trajectory grid for reversing camera), climatronic etc?

 

Mine does not do the latter although it is supposed to, its no real loss

 Don't have great audio response so really unsure.

It does not have canbus input so no compatibility with inbuilt systems, but the Greenline is basically a 2 in the model range so no climatronic, reversing sensors - but retrofitted a set of £13 audio sensors about 2 years ago - or steering wheel controls but it has still proven to be a good upgrade from the original Dance unit. I think some of the Chinese units have canbus input.
