Hi folks, I was just wondering if anyone has fitted one of these yet? They seem to be available on AliExpress for about 240usd.

I'm really interested, but watched a YouTube video about fitting the box - someone mentioned that you need to fit the box in the Glovebox if you have a large head unit, which kinda puts me off. Unfortunately I guess mine is as it has the HDD.

If anyone has any feedback Itd be greatly appreciated!!

Search is your friend. The best one people are using in the forum is the Andream unit. It has good support and a lot of following. Search the forum for it.

Why is that? Most if not all of these MMI boxes are from China. I agree you shouldn't get a random one, but that is why we have the forum to find tested systems. The Andream version is the same unit as other more reputable brands and a lot of people are using them for a while with success. Check the Andream thread out and you will see

Thanks mate, found it! Saw lots of threads about the Screens/Tablets but finally found the MMI thread

Yes I know about andream, I just don't like Aliexpress products. Not the best quality and you have to wait forever for it to arrive.
That's just from my experience.

I know what you mean but this one is as good as it gets. Great support and the same product in a fraction of the price. They stock it in EU as well, so no customs and fast delivery. Got mine within a week.

I looked into this but I ended up going for a solution by Integrated Auto who are a UK based company. Very happy with the product and I installed it myself.
