Sony XAV-AX5550D - Install into a VW T4

I wanted to have a double din head unit in our VW T4 Siouxsie. However I didn't want to cut the strengthening bar that goes across the dash. Having had a couple of T4's now I have had a couple different solutions mostly from Chinese suppliers but they never worked really well. I stumbled on a post about this Sony unit a little while ago and decided it could be the perfect solution. It also had Android Auto which was something I also wanted. In this video I will take you through the unboxing and the complete install including the things that didn't go so well. I also add a couple of USB sockets one in the glove box and one in a switch blank on the dash. 🌍 TRAVEL PLANNING & ESSENTIALS Buses & Trains in Asia: https://12go.asia/?z=11180835 eSIM (15% OFF): https://airalo.pxf.io/c/6088765/20710...
