I don't. I was lucky to have the correct size colour screen already so the only thing I needed to do was upgrade the head unit and get someone to code it to my car.
I used this guy on ebay who provided an OEM unit coded to my vehicle and he gave me great support, even down to how to install the bastard thing. Works perfectly.
I know it's been discussed here before but couldn't see this specific question raised - has anyone got any experience of buying/fitting one of the aliexpress android head units? Looking at something like this to go into a 2010 golf. I guess the difficulty would be removing the existing unit and the ease (or otherwise) of plugging into existing systems (power and audio)? I really only want it to be able to mirror my phone for google maps/waze and control the music system via spotify/podcast app etc. Any experience/input appreciated.
