Scampa Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 As topic I'm looking at replacing the bog standard one, I have been looking at Xtrons but reviews are mixed, so wonder what people have and what experiences, recommendations. Some I have been looking at. Xtrons HDMI Cheaper Xtrons but would need facia adapter Main bad reviews have been due to reliability and long boot up times, but these are mainly for the older models, can't find any reviews on the newer ones. Open to alternatives Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHead1979 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 There are a few people on here that have posted positive reviews for the Xtrons units, the key seems to be buying directly through Xtrons to ensure to get a real one and not some eBay special "clone". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddyOS Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Go for either of the Android 8.0 ones on their website http://xtrons.co.uk/ford/ford-focus-ii-android-car-stereo/filter/android_icon/android8-0.html There's two for the MK2, two for MK2.5 - one black, one silver. I've been toying with the idea of getting one of these as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scampa Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Pretty expensive for that one but cheaper on amazon Android 8 I have been considering these cheaper xtrons.. Android 7.1 And also this slightly better spec Android 7.1 HDMI I would also want DAB which is a extra £56 DAB+ The OBD2 is cheap about £9 but reviews are very mixed OBD2 For me the disappointment is that DAB is not included They also do a reversing camera Camera Again very mixed reviews How to fit aftermarket stereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scampa Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Don't see that as being a issue with amazon they have a no quibble return warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper is not always better, though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
