Can anybody suggest a good Double Din Radio with Sat Nav

Postby Steven2898 » Sat Mar 01, 2014 7:51 pm

Hello guys I have a Renault Megane Oasis 2005 and I have updated the single din to a double din as I personally thinks it looks better and I'm just wondering can anybody suggest a good double din radio with sat nav and other features I would prefer a named brand but if one of use had bought a Chinese model I would be open to your review of it and maybe even give it a try myself I'm looking one to be in the £200 - £350 region price I would appreciate all your feedback thanks

Yea id love to get this installed but I would not have any idea on how to do it myself I would need a video showing me how to do it or pictures I asked a mechanic and he said he would charge £150 to £200 depending on how long it would take maybe more and the unit it self would cost £300+ so it would get to much out of my price range

It was very easy to fit and if he wants to charge that price its a rip off, if you are near me a would give you a hand

Ano mate I was just gonna get a double din installed but I think where the radio will is located is very low down so if I was driving along I would be looking down at it and that would be dangerous that's why I would prefer this model but is an absolute fortune to get installed, is there any step by step guides to installing it or even a video?

have you changed a radio in a car before , if the answer is yes you will be able to do this . there is nothing really hard about it , all the plugs for the install will only fit in the correct sockets, so no chance of messing up the wires, the only thing i had to buy was a set of star drive removal tools to get the glove box out

Not sure if you've ordered one yet but I've got a Chinese one made by Eonon, bought it on eBay about 2 years ago for around £180-200, it has sat nav built in on an SD card, uses iGo8 software and its always been amazing. I'm self employed and drive to customers houses every day using my sat nav and its great. Its a 7'' touch screen with remote control, USB, iPod, CD mp3, SD, Bluetooth audio & calling, and I've wired mine in my Megane to work with the steering wheel controls :-) this is the 3rd car I've installed it in and its still going strong. Had an issue about 6 months ago where I kept losing sound intermittently, contacted Eonon in Hong Kong and they were very helpful, even offering a replacement unit if I couldn't find the fault, even though the warranty had expired 6 months before! Turned out to be a poor connection at the back so all fixed now :-)
