Recommendations for head unit replacement

Postby robjmccarthy » Sat May 28, 2022 2:55 pm

Hi All,

I have been thinking of replacing my head unit for something with touchscreen/sat nav etc.

I have no idea where to start looking, as after a quick Google there are loads of types.

It's a 2014 Transit Custom, see the below image.

Anyone with any recommendations or idea of what I should be looking for, is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again forum,

Hi Rob

Not an answer to your question really, so much as a 'I'm in the same boat and isn't it a nightmare' kinda post!

I've seen great reviews on the Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX but I can't seem to find this exact unit, the nearest I can find is Pioneer AVH-Z5200DAB which is £530 in Halfords. If you don't want a physical CD media slot or want to play DVDs on the screen, then the Pioneer SPH-DA230DAB (£390) looks like a reasonable alternative. They both have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and both have a reasonable size screen at 7" - so should fit easily into the space on the dash.

The biggest issue for me is finding the right dash adapter kit and all the cables I'm going to need - it seems like there are so many options and no-one seems to just sell it all in one kit. If you have any guidance on this bit I'd love to hear it.

Cheers
Hank

If you hunt about on here, there is a write up on it by a couple who did just what you are asking with their camper
