Thoughts & recommendations please - Change of headunit from Kenwood Dnx521dab for Cali T5.1

[FredFlintstone]

Hi,
We have a Cali T5.1 and would like to upgrade from a Kenwood dnx521dab.

We need front & rear cameras.
We'd like DVD, but not 100% essential.
Need to be able to integrate with steering controls etc.
Doesn't need Sat Nav as well use Android Auto with Waze etc.

If anyone has any good recommendations or perhaps something surplus?

Best regards

Kenwood 8019 / Kenwood 8021 are a good choice.

You will also need the Kenwood interface lead to get steering wheel controls and climate (heated seats will also show on the head unit.)
Don’t buy a 3rd party interface lead as you will need to splice wires and not all functions will work.

I would suggest calling Absolut5, who are Forum members. Very helpful. They can supply and fit or provide everything you need for DIY fitting.
