Will Pettit 3 Report post Posted December 20, 2021 Looking for an upgrade OE unit with DAB. The unit in my recently acquired 2015 GT86 is dreadful. If anyone has one for sale, please let me know with a price. Many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spikyone 139 Report post Posted December 20, 2021 My advice would be to get yourself an aftermarket head unit. The OE one from the earlier cars was a module that plugged in to the head unit and wasn't integrated at all. You could get the head unit from a later car, but it'll still be crap. If you're spending money on something there are plenty of options that will look and work far better, and won't break the bank. (I'd also say that DAB is a bit rubbish, IME. Too many dead spots in the coverage so it drops out a lot) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartinT 514 Report post Posted December 20, 2021 Get a decent Android head unit that will let you stream any internet radio you like. I have an older Eonon Android 9 that works well, the newer models run Android 10. You can either use a SIM with dongle or do as I do and just tether your phone.

Conscript 45 Report post Posted December 20, 2021 If you're interested, I have an aftermarket Pioneer headunit for sale. Supports DAB and was better than the OEM unit in every way - I'm only selling it because I then switched to an Android Auto head unit. q Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much it ram it has, which android version, does it have physical knobs, what is audio quality? It wasn't an "Android" head unit per sé (as in, running an Android OS), it was a Kenwood unit which supported AA - Kenwood DMX8020DABS: https://www.kenwood.eu/car/navigation_multimedia/multimedia/DMX8020DABS/ << that should give you all the specs I don't have it anymore...sold it (and the car) last year. But the audio quality was good, much better than the stock unit (although I did also have the Focal speakers as well). It was a great unit - it did have physical buttons (although push buttons for volume, instead of a rotary knob, which would have been better). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
