An 8 inch Android 15 head unit made to replace the factory stereo in a long list of Volkswagen, Skoda and SEAT models. It has wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, a built-in 4G LTE module, a QLED IPS screen and a DSP.
Your iPhone links to the stereo without a cable, so maps, calls and music are on the dash while the phone stays in your pocket. A wired connection over USB works as well.
Android phones connect to Android Auto wirelessly or by USB. Navigation, calls and music appear on the 8 inch screen with controls sized for use on the move.
Fit a standard nano SIM card and the stereo has its own mobile internet for maps, streaming and apps, without a hotspot from your phone.
The module supports 99% of carriers worldwide. Check with your network that your SIM works in this kind of device.
Wi-Fi runs on 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Connect to your home network on the drive to download updates and maps, or use a phone hotspot on the road.
Android 15 runs on an ASR8662 octa-core CPU with an Arm Mali G310 GPU. 6 GB of DDR4 RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage give you room for apps and offline maps, and keep switching between them quick.
A warm start takes 1 second and a cold start 50 seconds. A cooling system keeps performance steady on long journeys.
The 8 inch Grade-A QLED screen shows 1280×720 with rich colour, so maps and album art are clear at a glance.
It's an IPS panel with wide viewing angles, so the passenger sees the same clear picture as the driver.
The built-in DSP DQ7603 lets you adjust the sound to suit the cabin and your speakers.
The STMicroelectronics TCB001HQ amplifier gives 4x45W to the speakers.
Optical, coaxial and RCA audio outputs let you add an external amplifier or sound processor later.
The RDS-FM/AM tuner is built in. The unit is DAB+ ready, and digital radio needs an external DAB tuner.
Screen mirroring shows your phone's display on the stereo, useful for apps that CarPlay and Android Auto don't support.
Bluetooth 5.4 is there for hands-free calls and music streaming, and a microphone is included.
It supports 720P/1080P AHD cameras, with the reversing picture shown as soon as you shift into reverse.
If your car has a 40pin/36pin power port and a factory reversing camera, you'll need the ICE/SS/VWCAN01 ISO cable to keep that camera working.

The unit replaces the factory stereo directly and comes with an ISO wiring harness, a CANbus box and cable, and an installation tips sheet, so no cutting or splicing is needed. Cars with a 52pin power port need the AK/VW/ISOMQB ISO cable, and some SEAT consoles need an extra fascia panel (ICE/ACS/11-581 or ICE/ACS/11-609). Compare your VW T5 or Skoda centre console with the product photos first, as some shapes won't take this unit.
It's made for the Volkswagen, Skoda and SEAT models in the compatibility list. Check your model and years there, and compare your centre console with the photos if you have a VW T5, a Skoda or a SEAT.
No. This unit doesn't support the factory Dynaudio or Fender sound systems.
Yes. Insert a standard nano SIM card into the built-in 4G LTE module for internet access for maps, streaming and apps.
If your car has a 40pin/36pin power port and an original reversing camera, add the ICE/SS/VWCAN01 ISO cable to keep it. The unit also supports 720P/1080P AHD cameras.
Both wireless and wired connections work, for CarPlay and for Android Auto.
