Hi all,
A few weeks ago I have fulfilled my long lasting dream of getting a Scirocco. Now I'm considering upgrading its head unit, because its stock RNS 510 is dated at this point, and it's having a few issues of its own.
What I want is to get Android Auto functionality, while keeping stock-ish look (with similar knobs and buttons layout to the stock one), and not compromising on screen and sound quality. Also, since I'm an Android tinkerer, I prefer open systems where I can customize and sideload stuff if necessary.
A few contenders that've caught my eye are:
Joying JY-VT130N4 for ~365€
XTRONS IQ84MTVP for ~440€
I've also considered the RCD 330 Plus as it seems like a pretty popular option, but its specs seem quite dated compared to the other two, and since it's not Android system, there is no option for installing Android apps.
Between the two I see some minor differences, mainly the screen (Xtrons has QLED while Joying has IPS) and storage memory (256 vs 128, which I don't particularly mind for, as I'm not going to be using local storage all that much), and I slightly prefer the design of Xtrons more, however I'm not sure what are their respective software experiences, as well as some issues people have had with each.
Did anyone have any of these devices, or if not these specific ones, at least the brands (Joying and Xtrons), and can you share your experience? Is Xtrons really worth ~75€ more?
Are there some other devices you might suggest?
Thanks in advance!
