Hello guys can anyone recommend me a basic Linux head unit with Apple Carplay for Volkswagen Scirocco? I still want to maintain the original interface (eg: when adjusting fan speed it will appear on the screen as well)

Hiya guys, have been going thru this entire thread for the past couple of days. Truly a wealth of info here for an aged noob like me & now I can narrow my search for a proper Android HU. Appreciate all the sifus who have been educating all of us here.

Want to ask, if I have a stock unit GPS antenna unit (Navara NP300 2015), can i still use that with the Android Player or do I need to get a new one? Or is a GPS antenna really necessary?

Apologies if I missed any previous posts on this.

bought android player 2+32 RM700 (2021) and 4+64 RM950 (2023)

both android player came with GPS antenna

Thanks. Wanted to know if anyone actually tried using their stock GPS antenna. But, yes, will try it out to see if compatible. If can't, no issue for me. Will just revert back to the phone for Waze, which is my preference really. Getting the Android HU mainly for reverse camera & radio as my stock unit HU screen is kaputing.

That's good... thanks.
I installed 7862S Android HU (4GB+64GB no 360) in last year May'23 ... just that the radio reception not as good as stock HU.
Currently I'm using the antenna comes with Android HU (refer below):

I wonder if switch back to stock antenna using socket below will help to improve the signal?

MC1 can use casing for MC2? not pnp

Looking for 9"/10" but concern is the casing for MC1 blocks part of the air cond vent no 10 inch casing for MC1
