DS3 Aftermarket Radios

[ne8ryan]

Hello,
used to have an account but must have deleted due to inactivity, which is fair.

I am just wondering what aftermarket radio's people have/used in their DS3, as the current one I have is slowly dying on me,
which is my fault for buying cheap Chinese stuff; my current one is a Hikity 7" Folding Radio.
One irritating thing is it didn't have steering wheel controls and it didn't support my parking sensors, which is a given due to it's price

I've been looking at similar ones that has wireless Android Auto but I am happy to get some suggestions.

Cheers.

Expect to lose vehicle functionality with aftermarket - that's just the way it is, as the Head Units are not just 'radios' but are heavily integrated into the vehicle's other systems and this is going to increase going forward with fully dashboard integrated CarPlay / Android systems that can do a lot more. Will make aftermarket stuff redundant.

Yeah I agree with that comment, there are some ISO adapters out there that can fit a aftermark headunit for example this one,
I am just trying to exhaust my options without paying £600 for a headunit integrated more of a swappable if necessary like my current one.
