Looks a tidy jobWhat do you use in your P38? We bought this one like this, the unit is some satnav from 2003, I imagine retrofitted. It measures 16.5x10cm and we want to replace it with some sort of carplay so we can use the satnav from phone. Either via USB or Bluetooth. Any recommendations? View attachment 290206
I don't if sarcastic or not. Honestly, first time I got in the car I didn't notice anything as i didn't know what it's supposed to look like, but after looking at it you can see the dremel marks on the plastic.Looks a tidy job
+1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^You enter the head unit code into the radio, not the EKA, that's fine though the drivers door
If you want music from your phone then a Bluetooth-FM tuner is simple
I can live with using satnav from phone, but how do you listen to music? I assume the tape player is not easily interchangeable for something else because of its measurements and because you enter the eka code through it. I have a few tapes I listen to but if I can't find another car play I'll have to solder an aux cable to the tape deck

No sarcasm here. The ‘38 I bought had an Android thumbed in. I’ve removed it now and replaced the original parts. Difficult to get a good finish when you are effectively butchering plastic. So to answer original post, that looks like a good attempt.I don't if sarcastic or not.

I'm more interested in how you fitted that stereo unit in place of the tape deck?I'm on my 2nd revision. P38 does not have room in the dash for a standard 2-din stereo, so first time used an Android 7" tablet. Second (current) version is a 7" screen with remote head unit mounted under the passenger seat.
The Joying has internal amp disabled, and the line outputs feed the door amplifiers & sub via balancing transformers, so there's no buzz, hum or hiss. I use an external 4G dongle for data connection, but the newer units have built in 4G sim slot & external antennas.
Fitted one a newer version Joying 2-din Android into wife's freelander, but looking at this one for P38 3rd version !!
