TBH I wouldn't personally recommend any of them but that's down to my own experience with these sort of units.

I've also had customers buy them pay me to fit them then within a week they want a factory Navi system fitted as they simply don't like them either.

On the other hand there are alot of people who do like them and not had an issue with them.

That comment has kinda thrown me off now. Like I want a different head unit as I have the standard CD400 without DAB, bluetooth or Navi..

Really stuck on what to do.. I cannot physically go any longer with the default CD400, haha..

Sorry, I'm late to the party so you may have already purchased something now!  I too had the same conundrum that you did, I think with these two actual units as well.  If I remember correctly the main difference is the V5754 has double the RAM, other than that specification wise they are quite similar, they just obviously look slightly different.

In the end I went for the V5754 and I must admit I have not looked back.  Over the stock unit (CD400) I cannot express enough how nice it is to have stuff like Google Maps, Spotify or Deezer etc installed on the unit.

Rusty is right though, they are not for everyone as although once installed they look the part (as in the trim) they are not as 'snappy' as a factory unit.  However I have just installed a custom rom on mine which has improved things in this area.

Let me know if you need anymore info just in case you haven't made a decision yet?

Cheers

V5754 here, with custom Rom and Mcu. Improved sound and smoother with these.

I really like this unit. It's like a tablet, but compatible with your car keeping the oem look.
