self build campervan vw crafter | radio upgrade | van build | part 50 | the crafty blinders
Hi and welcome
It's time to get rid of the old radio and drag this van in to the 21st century with an all singing and dancing touch screen radio with sat nav, internet, and video function, while the dash is stripped out I've take the opportunity to add some extra use charging outlets and move the night heater controls have a look and tell us what you think

I fitted a similar Xtrons 10” android touch screen in my sprinter, Although ok when parked I now genuinely loath it when driving, the screens and soft buttons are far too difficult to safely interact with, even simple things like adjusting the brightness or volume require looking at what your doing. It also sufferers terribly from reflections during the day. Not helped by the fact the viewing angles not very good I am glad I still have the separate screen for my reversing camera as that is angled directly at me so is not affected by the poor viewing angle or reflections So for my Crafter I bought a smaller size screen, still Android with all the relevant features but most importantly it has proper physical controls that you can feel for without looking. It’s infinitely better than my distracting touch only Xtrons device.

@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife 2 года назад
I know what you mean the button aren't the best the bonus for me is I've paired it up the the steering wheel controls which work a treat the glare on the screen is an issue but in looking into a screen protector that should minimise the glare it let you know how I get on 👍
@CriftinsCampers
@CriftinsCampers 2 года назад
TheCraftyBlinders ah yes the steering wheel controls should make all the difference, neither of my vans have them unfortunately.

Speakers. Did you have to change the original speakers, or did the roof mounted tweeters on your later video be enough? Im looking at the Teyes CC3 2K head unit with the 360 camera set up. I'll be lone travelling the world and the 360 cameras will really help me, or id just go for the head unit you suggest in the video. There appears to be no problem that im looking at, that your channel hasn't already done. Keep going, as you have helped me no end already.
@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife

Hi we stuck with the original speaker as they produced a good sound the tweeter just add a different sound and make up for the bulk head not being there The 360 cameras sound like a great idea We're are you from ? 😁👍

Hi great video very informative thank you. Now you have had this in for over a year, would you still recommend the radio upgrade, or has there been a new model since you videoed this one? We have a Mercedes Sprinter, we are looking to upgrade its original radio, just so many to look at and looking for advice. Thank you in advance, if you do get to answer my question .
@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife
