Introduce yourself

Hi, there.

Not a lot of recent activity here but I am a big fan of the YouTube channel and the attention on Saab, of which I have two currently.

It always drives me crazy to go to a supposed "audio installer" to be told that "there's nothing I can do for your cars, the radio can't be replaced ever" because I know it's not true and obviously, Stu seems to replace head units on a weekly basis!

Anyway, the Witson PX5 unit that I got is dying and am here looking for advice on a replacement (and installation notes on a 2011 Saab 9.5). I am big on sound quality rather than a bunch of features I'll never use. Nice to meet you.

Hi. You have the most informative YouTube channel on Android head units and for that I thank you very much 🫶

Love your content and keep up the good work ❤️

I am from the UK

I own an Audi TT MK2 so I'm search off a good unit for my car :)

Hello,

I'm quite new to this and I'm hoping to learn on what would be involved in upgrading my Saab 9^3 2011 head unit with somethig more contemporary. Either Android or brand name units would be good as long as their essential function controls (on/off, volume) are physical buttons (I believe that's what Saab would have done).

hi everyone, a brand newbie here. I have a Skoda Octavia 3 (2015) DSG Scout.

Recently found this Youtube channel which I've found very helpful

Hello, found your videos on youtube, thanks for the great info. I'm currently ready to buy a android for a 2008 Hummer H3, hoping to find the info on this forum to make the correct decision.

Hello community! I have a 1990 900 SPG 5-speed and a 2006 9-3 SC 6-speed, and reside in Minnesota in the USA. Just stumbled into this site today after getting linked to the youtube channel regarding radio replacements.

Excellent info and guidance, and I particularly love seeing that not everyone has abandoned Saab just yet :-)

I am looking into options but it seems some of the options that are a full standalone Android head unit are likely the best options, but I can be convinced otherwise. I am a Linux and open source enthusiast but realize we just don't have a good option as of yet for auto interfaces and app accessibility. Yes we could run phosh or Gnome-Shell mobile (or even Plasma mobile) but then we wouldn't have the ability to download music from spotify for offline use, etc. But hmmm maybe I should still look into it a bit more, putting a Rpi and touchscreen in place, but I don't think the "OpenAuto" (which seems inactive, instead "OpenAuto Pro" which does NOT seem OPEN) or Crankshaft options are what I would want. I would either want to run standalone full Linux or instead just have a full Android solution is my feeling.

Anyway, happy for any insights into what the preferable options are for a 2006 9-3 much like the author seems to have. I wouldn't consider the option for my SPG at this point, using a bluetooth dongle to AUX port there seems adequate for now.

Regards,
