Opinion - 3rd party aftermarket media units (Apple CarPlay etc.)
Hi,
Wasn't too sure whether this was more suited to this thread or the Golf Mk6 GTi thread.
I really just want a few opinions though. I'm a purist I suppose, so I like things to be as they were designed, however as I have a Mk6 Golf without satnav, bluetooth etc, I've recently been thinking about an aftermarket media unit for the car. Specifically, Pioneer head units with Apple CarPlay.
The opinions I'm after is around whether people think this increases/decreases/does nothing for the value of the car and also if you were looking for a second-hand Golf, if you found one that had a Pioneer unit rather than the original VW unit installed, would that make you more/less likely to buy it or have no bearing? If you don't have an iPhone, the unit still has it's own interface with all the features.
The unit looks like this (but the screenshots are not CarPlay): AVIC-F60DAB High-end 2 DIN Car CD,DVD, GPS Navigation System with Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, 7†Touchscreen, HDMI, AppRadio Mode, and DAB - Pioneer Navigation - GPS
Anyway, that's it. Thanks.
