Best value for money double din + GPS?

Post by Justify »

Hi guys

I'm new to double din infotainment systems - what is currently the best bang for the buck for a touch screen double din that is GPS enabled and has divx (etc) and bluetooth support for use in a Mk5?

Thanks!

Thanks guys, appreciate that.

What is your take on the myriad of generic brands out there, especially Planetworld (CASKA?) and Targa units? From what I gather about the Planetworld/Caska units is that they're designed to drop in without any generic front covers or extra wiring looms?

I'm not running an amp or planning competitions or expect concert quality audio, the double din gps is mainly for regular Waze use and as a media center.

If your options was Caska or Targa units I will go with the Caska, fitted one in a Toyota Hilux no problems with it looks oem.
