Hi. Did you sort out your stereo swap?
I have a 2010 VX and the stereo has lost its display so am looking for a replacement.
If yours is available I may be interested
Please send me a PM if you are.

Did you find a head unit ?Comment

Hi,
I have been doing a bit of research and came across this forum. It looks like the Altitude and the VX models are tricky (if not impossible to get a stereo upgrade). I have a 2012 Altitude and have been looking at ways to upgrade the stereo so that I can use Android Auto / Apple Car Play.
After a few months of research - it appears this is very hard to do due to the factory Sat Nav unit (which also controls the back row entertainment / drop down screen).
The fascia alone costs more than the head unit and installation, and it comes with certain issues like losing control of certain features like the front and back sensors appearing in the main screen
See: https://stingeraustralia.com.au/product/jptoy06/
I found a video on Youtube on how it might be done as a second screen -

The issue with that particular use case is that you always have to look down, so if you use Google Maps etc,
I was looking at the Alpine Halo9, and some Kenwood wide screen units which fits nicely into the 200 mm space where the existing DVD player is installed. Those units appears to have a pop-out screen so you can actually angle it higher so hopefully it sits over the air-cond control.
Does anyone (owner or installer) have any experience in this type of install? Anything to look out for / I have missed?
I think the end result is a new head unit, connected to the AMP, while leaving the factory screen for the camera, sensor displays and control of the rear entertainment unit (which will have to rely on the headphone out in the back seat).

For those of you who are still looking for a solution for the Altitude Model - in late 2020, a portal Android Auto / Apple Car Play compatible unit was released.
It is called a Coral Vision Portable 7" LCD Touch Screen.
Mine arrived this week and it is pretty good. I couldn't use the mounting that came with the unit because the screen is quite large and can obstruct your view in the front windscreen, so the alternative was a DVD-Mount bracket and attached to it. Screen now sits just above the factor DVD unit in front of the air cond control panel.
So far so good, very responsive, and works well with audio etc via the standard AUX in.
