I replaced my PSA-specific radio with an Android head unit. This is how it went.

I'm a C5 X7 2012 owner and I'm trying to find a unit that replaces the original screen if possible. Also weirdly my C5 doesn't have USB sockets that these android units must need for power. He doesn't say which Junsun model this is.

​@@comcarclubGood video, could you tell me which Junsun model it is. Thanks. It's weird the CD player plays mp3 data discs and there is no USB socket to do the same, if it had this I could live with the original unit in my C5 X7 2012 even if the sat nav is Jurassic to use it works.

@@nocturnal1970 it's a Junsun v1 pro 2gb 32gb RAM. I'm surprised to hear your 2012 C5 doesn't have USB input. It should have an RT6 which has USB support. In fact, it sounds like the horrible RNEG unit that came with the car and was utter crap
@nocturnal1970
@nocturnal1970 11 месяцев назад
@@comcarclub Yeah, watched a later video of you with 163bhp car review and you say the Junsun was garbage. The problem is you bought a 2GB 4 Core version and it runs Android 12 which really needs 6GB 8 cores so that is the one I might get for about £200. The wireless Android Auto unreliability sounds bad though but I assume your phone is at least Android 11? They shouldn't sell 1GB or 2GB units with Android 12, I seen videos of 8GB versions and they are like lightning. Yeah the car is RNEG, I remember that from updating the firmware. I'll have to wire USB sockets into the fusebox using piggy back connectors but the car doesn't allow much power to stay on after the ignition is switched off, you can't listen to the stereo parked after a few minutes if that. Thanks again and maybe the Junsun units are unreliable, it's difficult to find out long term reliability.

Yes, but you would have to change the fascia. Some sellers provide that, otherwise, you can look online for a replacement fascia.
@adriankierzkowski5116
@adriankierzkowski5116 Месяц назад
For future users: If seller gives you two frames to install the device (one for device and one behind the fascia (that part with hole for screen, ventilation and knobs)) then this frame is universal. It will perfectly fit the monochrome display version. The part of the frame between LCD and storage will be between the given frames. I just installed a 10" Android multimedia device and it fits perfectly. In future I consider removing center of the metioned frame part, because cooler isn't fully exposed.

I've recently installed a similar headunit myself and realized that I can't insert the trim piece after the headunit is in the dash. I've seen cars with this headunit and the trim installed so my best guess is that you need to put the trim piece in its place and then put the whole thing in the dash, then gently lift the right hand side of the trim and do the 2 torx screws with a 90 degree angle bit (if possible at all without breaking the trim) and just leave the most left one without a screw. That's my plan but I can't bring myself to to disassemble this again :D. I'll try not to forget to come back and post a comment with how it went once I try it out :)
