Hi, I’ve been looking at a replacement radio too, it’s been suggested that the the best one to go for is the Pioneer DA 160 with reverse camera, had a quick look on Google and it seems to get good reviews

It has Apple CarPlay & Android Auto so can connect to your phone etc as far as I know.

Hey mary

 

Theres this one guy based in brum called ben hau, its about £250 for him to install apple car play/ android auto into your alphards original headunit without messing with any of the original screens or features, its just applied to the video channel screen, so you can tap in and out when you want. You can find him on facebook 

Hope this helps in some way

Your welcome Mary, I’m still looking for option’s myself , charliec suggestion is worth following but I’m struggling with converting everything into English so will most likely replace the unit eventually

Hi Mary, we got the dealer to fit the Pioneer unit into the car, seems to work ok apart from the steering wheel controls that no longer work, apparently they couldn’t find an interface cable for this within my budget (they quoted around £200+ on top of the cost of the unit) will have to do some more homework, we just got the car today after a lengthy delay following the conversion so still working out how everything works.

Hi John, 

I have also had a pioneer dab with reversing camera, my steering wheel controls are redundant now too. The radio and hands free phone work really well. 

I was rather p.... d off with theauto electrician as he didn't hook up the reversing camera, telling me that the camera didn't work with the pioneer 🙄
