Full circle with my Amundsen Unit

About this time a year ago, the touchscreen failed on my fitted 2017 Yeti Amundsen Mib2 radio satnav unit. 

I got great advice from a number of members, and eventually my wife and I decided to replace it with a non touchscreen Kenwood DPX 7300 Dab unit. What a NAIL of a unit! 

Well, what a mistake THAT was... 

The manual might as well have been written in Swahili, the customer service was a shambles, none of the steering wheel controls worked, and operating the unit was a nightmare. 

It was a SHAMBLES! Complete waste of money.. 

So the other week, I fished our Amundsen Unit out of the cupboard and decided that I would get hold of a Digitiser screen and attempt to fit it. I had always been very hesitant about this. I am no techie on audio equipment. 

So I bought one from Jonathan at Siansmobiles on Ebay, and set to work. 

Two hours later, and I had a fully working radio satnav unit back in the car. Success. 

So really, this is just a heads up.... If YOU have suffered the dreaded non working touch screen issue, don't give up..... do as I did above. 

With reasonable care, some spare time, and a few small tools You CAN do this yourself and avoid the absolutely ridiculous prices quoted by main stealers.

Make sure you order the right Digitiser screen and it really isn't difficult. 

I'm just turned 78...I did it! 😂 I don't know why I was frightened of doing it to be honest.
