Seicane Android Head Units - Apoc - 17:th-Mar-2019

Hello!

Apologies if this is in the wrong area of the forum. I'm just getting acquainted!

I've recently become the owner of a 2012 Astra GTC which is fitted with the CD 400 stereo. I'm looking to install a navigation screen, and am looking to do this via replacing the existing head unit as I much prefer the appearance compared to having the screen lower down, personally - amongst retaining some functionality of the existing controls.

I'm looking at a Seicane unit (linked below), but was wondering if anybody has any experience of not only the unit itself, but purchasing from them? The product seems to look good, but the website doesn't fill me with confidence so I wanted to see if anybody else has experience of purchasing with them.

Cheers!

Thanks! I was initially looking at the double din route with the Connects2 fascia but much prefer the appearance and functionality of upgrading the head unit. Hoping to grab one over the next week or so.

The general consensus is that they're easy to fit so here's hoping I don't get stumped  There seems to be plenty of How To's to be going on with anyway!

No you can't go wrong follow a few how 2 videos I couldn't believe how straite forward it was.... the only thing I didn't do at first was feed the lume plugs in the empty void under the CD player unit as there is loads of space for them to rest rather than being pushed behind unit.

My speakers were instantly sounding better and louder and the bluetooth is excellent along with clear pictures.
