Kenwood 10.1" Floating headunit, stereo VW Transporter T6.1 install

14 днів тому

This really is the ultimate T6.1 headunit upgrade, with all the extra you'd expect from Kenwood, including wireless car play. This is the only system that is VW approved and has the SOS system retention.
VW Transporter, T6.1 Kenwood headunit's are available here: transporterhq.co.uk/vw-transp...
We've been running this units ourselves for a while now and we're super impressed. Not only does it retain all the factory steering wheel functions, USB-C features and VW controllers and settings, it also looks mega and it's really user friendly.
If you're looking to upgrade your standard T6.1 stereo, this is a must have.
Hope you're found this stereo installation video useful. Please do hit that like button, it means a lot.
Please do share this video with anyone thinking of charging the headunit in their T6.1.
As always, thanks for watching

Interesting that the gubbins behind the Halos are single DIN like the OEM radio yet this is double DIN - a lot of hacking at the dash to fit this 🤪

@THQAutomotive 12 днів тому

There is a double din style option too from Kenwood if you don't want the larger screen.

@jenny80myles 12 днів тому

Does it sound better than the factory unit or do you have to upgrade the speakers for that?

@THQAutomotive 12 днів тому

Yes it does but speaker upgrades will of course improve it further.

Why have you chosen the Kenwood over the Alpine halo 11 any info would help a lot of guys wondering.

@THQAutomotive 2 дні тому

Alpine are great but they have major stocking issues. The Kenwood is also the only ones thats VW approved and has the SOS retention

@mikerogers8702 11 днів тому

Is this compatible with the T6.1 alpine system you installed a while back?

@THQAutomotive 11 днів тому

As in the speaker upgrade kit? If so then yes.

@mikerogers8702 11 днів тому

Yes speakers and sub.

Do you want to fit a Kenwood unit to your T6.1? If the answer is no, why the hell did you watch 10 minutes! 🤯 If the answer is yes, it's a boring and methodical video, but if you watch it and follow along, you'll be grateful 😉

So expensive for what is basically a iPad without any of the integrated functionalities. When will someone make a replacement for the discovery media unit with virtual cockpit that’s not a goofy (out of dash) fitment. The media Pro is what t6.1 owners want.

@THQAutomotive 8 днів тому

There has been a lot put in to the VW integration and SOS retention. These are a must for VW approval

I mean it's not for everyone. You need to be ok with all the details, but the end result is worth it..... or pay someone else to do it 😂

@tylersable 11 днів тому

@THQAutomotive d be paying for fitting mate I'd balls it up

@colinturner6628 12 днів тому

Good content, but the camera work is atrocious, so out of focus at times, with all the wobbly zoom in zoom out movements it is enough to give somebody a seizure. The last couple of videos were also out of focus, I can't seem to watch your videos to the end.

@THQAutomotive 12 днів тому

Apologies, this was actually filmed a few months back. We've recently invested in some new gear to improve this. Please sick with us.

To be fair mate they aren’t UKpostsrs this is a product installation and a little review on someone else’s product. They are a company that sells products not UKpostsrs.
