Great tips on fitting the headunit, I might do the same. The facia (and shelf) from the T5.1 fits though for a slicker, but more costly upgrade. Great content as usual, keep it up!
I fitted a single din head unit with a retractable screen to eliminate the glare from the sun. Absolutely amazing. You may find that your screen deteriorates after a while from sun exposure. Run the unit off the house battery with the trigger wire connected to accessory. Love your show
Great looking little head unit. If you wire a relay across that switch and get a piggy back fuse holder from an ignition live you can have best of both worlds with the radio. The dark coloured panels in the cab are looking well.
Good skills. You are goingnto cost me 100 quid. I really need to do this to my van. Does look like you need to get the moist gritty sponge out and give the t5 a scrub 😅
I still have a Polk Momo sub in the loft from over 20 years ago.. it wouldn't fit under the seat in the t5, so got the 10" JL audio and it slaps.. van time is guilty pleasure time, so I need a good set up to pump out anything from happy hardcore, d&b, grunge, speed garage to 70s disco + everything in between, and no one can judge me...
Another absolutely CLASS video. I am however totally new to all of this in terms of the upgrades to my motor... and so - just to check as I am 1000% planning on doing this... As long as the wiring is carried out correctly, in terms of the reversing camera... it will know as soon as you're in reverse?!
Hey bud thank you appreciate that, yes soon as it’s wired into the reverse light wire I mentioned when you stick it in reverse it automatically turns the rear camera on 👍👍
Nicely done! Now you need to upgrade your steering wheel to multifunction one from T6 or T6.1 (possible with an adapter) so you can control the stereo and add the cruise control 🙂
Thank you for the video Nathan. Brilliant upgrade for the T5 for such a reasonable price and it sits so well in the dash that it looks OEM - top job. Have a great weekend 👍.
25:52 I'd have cut the yellow plug off and fitted a new one or used Wago connectors. To get wires through the rubber gaiter I used some plastic hose (I used beer line) and slid it through the rubber gaiter, so you can then slide all your wires through the hose. Then carefully remove the plastic hose.
Hey Nathan, great video. You could have pulled a live and switched live from the fuse box right under the radio! Would have saved you running the wire from the leisure battery
That wiring tho :D hahahah u do know they make solder connectors that u just heat up and they solder and heat shrink them at the same time. much cleaner job i would 100% redo that.
This is class, just put a pioneer double din in mine and hate it, can never see the screen. Might get one of these and shave the inside of the dash away to get it to sit more vertical.
99% sure that the CAN bus tells the head unit when the vehicle is in reverse so no need to do anything to get the reverse cam to work. I have a similar (identical) head unit in my Skoda and the cam just works - no wiring required. I installed one of those tail gate open button camera's for the more discreet look. Its not the correct one for a mk2 octavia but it fits with some jiggery to the connecter.
I have this stereo,brilliant piece of kit. I've had countless stereos with amps and subs over the years. The only thing I'm finding is with the amp connected to the stereo,the amp is constantly on and running the battery flat,how is your connected to the stereo?
Hey Clive, I fitted a later stereo in my caddy and it drained the Battery. I cut one of the canbus wires that goes to the stereo and it stopped it as the canbus system doesn’t know the stereo is there. Just have to turn it on and off manually 👍 thanks mate
Nathan absolutely brilliant I have been looking for a good priced boom box for mine . Tell me bud dose it have digital radio function and normal fm radio connection without connecting to you phone .?? Hope all is good for you bud 🤙🏽
Hi dte, uv inspired me 2 buy a 2007 caddy , any idea how much stretch carpet I'd need to line it , online they are trying to sell me enough to carpet my house 😅 it's only 1 sliding door so hope u can help me out , love ur channel from dublin ireland
There are plenty exactly the same advertised at £75 on eBay. Just spent a bit of time checking specs and the screens and functions and they are the same
👌👍👍another great update for the T5
Good Job mate, its all coming together. You can never be too old for some bass!!!!

Nice upgrade and good value for money

Great update for a t5 ,nicely done Nathan
Great video mate......was umming and arring about spending 500 odd quid on a VW Discovery head unit,but that does all i want it to do......so ordered!
Top quality 🤙

Looks bang on mate! Straight on the link mate and will be having a measure up later 👍 cheers
Brilliant as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

I could have dug out a skibadee and helter skelter tape out the loft, but apple car play is cool too

Quality mods mate
26:35 You can use Tesa double sided tape(or any brand) to mount it instead of drilling.
Sometimes putting the reverse signal through a relay cleans the image up
I will try that thank you 👍
That wiring tho :D hahahah u do know they make solder connectors that u just heat up and they solder and heat shrink them at the same time. much cleaner job i would 100% redo that.
👌👍😎
Mic only on the RH channel. 🤟
Thank you mate I never knew that I’ll fix that for next video 👍
I was going to say the same thing👍
Last video was the same
Looks Good that, think i`ll have to get rid of the Apple head unit i have

Same stereo as I got in mine
Look up and use Wago connection blocks or individual wago connectors in future
I’ll take a look thank you 👍

The only thing I'm finding is with the amp connected to the stereo,the amp is constantly on and running the battery flat,how is your connected to the stereo?
Nice Upgrade. 👍. Not sure about the connector blocks though. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha they are definitely untidy 😂 I just copied what the last guy done
Great video i put one in the caddy fits 100%works great but it kept draining the battery 🪫 so until i can get it done properly I’ve disconnected it

Nathan absolutely brilliant I have been looking for a good priced boom box for mine . Tell me bud dose it have digital radio function and normal fm radio connection without connecting to you phone .?? Hope all is good for you bud 🤙🏽
Sorry for the delay Chris yes it has normal radio 👍👍
sounds , Ah Yeah
Never got on with the Android head units. I went with a sone dab head unit that does carplay and android auto.
Ah yea! Swipe marks on the screen not from tinder 😂 bit of an upgrade from the old cassette player 😮 nice one mate
Wow 2 videos in one week 😅
I found the current from the reverse light was insufficient to trigger the camera. I had to run an extra wire to the front to make it work
i went the other way on tech and installed a CB Radio last weekend ..lol
Ah ye gota love a CB 👍

Hi bud thank you appreciate that 👍 I done my headliner in the front aswel and I ised 7meters
Nathan do you have a link for the phone holder/charger everyone I buy is rubbish😊
Nice simple solution to have a modern stereo,
Do they do one for the t6?
Cheers
Aaron
Hi Aaron thanks bud I think they do direct fit ones for the T6 👍
@@YTDTETV magic I'll have a look, keep up the cracking content 👌
Updated the infotainment set up by about 15 years there
Ah yea....Triffic work as per usual brother ...

Takk!
Thank you francis 🙏❤️
I wonder if such tablet upgrade can fit on a 2009 ford focus 😅
I’ve seen this fitted in a focus you can get a stereo surround to match 👍
My android unit just died..gutted 😢.. ah yeh..found a reset button.. working like new again 🤙
Great video Nathan, I have a mk7 Transit will this unit fit easy enough to it.
Hi bud yes the 7” version fits in a transit i made a little surround out of plywood to fit the little gap round the edges 👍
@@YTDTETV
Thank you
Could you fit this in a 2012 caddy?
Yes a 9” screen fits in there to, unsure how you would mount it as I havnt fitted one in mine yet. Maybe I can get one and make a video 👍
ive just been doctor my ears arnt working ,
Do you have the link pls? Just what I've been looking for :D
Hey bud just added to the video description 👍
@12.50 PMSL 🤣
Mic* was low for the first 30 secs
Link please I know someone who is looking for similar. Thanks for the surprise video❤
Hey bud I’ve just added to the video description 👍
Nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

Hi bud just added it to the video description 👍
Where’s the link?
Looking for it too
Just added it to the video description 👍

@@shaziman1 make sure they have 8 core processor with 4gb ram and 64gb rom, the cheaper ones normally have less.
