Advice wanted on Soundsystem Upgrades

[caddymaximal]

The device would come in 2019 caddy max (-19 trendl). I have checked the fit here:
https://incartec.co.uk/Volkswagen/.............
Volkswagen36-Composition-Colour-With- SWC
options:
XAV-AX5650ANT with DAB+, Pioneer SPH-DA360DAB or Kenwood DMX5020DABS. All priced around 400e.
Do you have any experience with them and can they be installed without additional accessories?

why isn't the android version or GB RAM & GB ROM announced for these
Which is better car play or android auto? Or are they different things?
And are these safer than xtron or atoto 8?
Will there be firmware updates for these?

The android version is not listed because they are old head units and not worth the price...
These are running on android 8 or less we're on android 14... also you can tell by the Bluetooth version is 4.1 which came out in 2013 5 came out in 2016 with a new chipset the lastest is 5.3 so shows how old they are.
So you need to look for something newer that supports Wireless Android Auto and Carplay.

I would like to hear experiences, are the devices of well-known old manufacturers more reliable or, for example, an old feature such as a radio, then better? HOW does the software play in these new ones I mentioned, Atoto, Xtron, Joying? Can they be updated?

For the speakers I went for oem fitment 8inch focals, brilliant sound for the price

Apple iPhone = Carplay
Android phones = Android Auto

I have an old Joying Android unit you could have for free, if you cover postage

Do 8 inch fit in the doors of Mk4 Caddy, all the kits I've been looking at are 6.5 inch??

[Rob.]

8" speakers do indeed fit.
