Is the integrated multifunctional car radio really better than the function extendable one?

Multifunctional car radios are replacing the traditional radio function only car media players, everyone knows more functions equal more fun. Popular functions including Bluetooth, navigation, radio, of course, all become basic functions of a car multimedia player, no need to elaborate how useful and convenient they are as the overwhelming advertisement already done a great job.

New functions are developed for better accessibility to the smartphone, such as mirror link, few companies have successfully developed their own free version. The Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as the third party driving assistance APP, are gaining more followers every day, some car radios already integrated with the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. But there are car head units compatible with the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Here I made a comparison:

Car radios’ Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
Integrated External
Price Higher Lower
Function Display Stable Stable
Installation Not required Plug-and-Play
Replacement Difficult, need to return the whole unit

Plug-and-Play

That’s the information I found for your reference. (Every choice is not easy to make, some part needs to be sacrificed…)

If you are looking for information about an external Android Auto/ Apple CarPlay dongle, Pumpkin NA7006B may be helpful. Other external device like DAB digital radio box NA7021B is also available.

pumpkin AA0483S ford head unit

Bought and fitted it into my son’s 2013 Ford Mondeo Titanium X 1.6T. All works really well and looks fantastic.
Couple of points of note.
1. The car had the Sony DAB stereo which has 2 aerial feeds. You need a Fakra to DIN adapter to connect the aerial to the new head unit.
2. I fitted the external mic that came with the kit. I ran the cable under the drivers side of the dash and up the A-Pillar. It’s just about long enough to place the mic at head height on the pillar but I would have preferred to run it up to the roof where it would be less obvious. I suggest buying a 1m 3.5mm jack extension lead if you want to do the same.
3. Shows radio station in the main dash screen.
4. I initially fitted the GPS aerial under the dash as I had done on a similar unit in my other son’s Focus, but the signal was quite low. It would have probably worked but around town it may have been a problem so I ran the cable under the passenger side of the dash, up the A-pillar and placed it on top of the Dash in the corner under the screen. Signal significantly better. I only say this to stop you having to take the unit out again after putting everything back like I did!!
5. It came with 2 wiring harnesses. I used the one with the Canbus box attached to it and all works as expected. I’m not sure what would have happened had I fitted the other one.
6. I didn’t fit a camera. The car has rear sensors that were audible only. The Pumpkin unit now adds a radar to the screen and the beeping sounds coming from the unit instead of the car. My only issue, which is still to be reviewed is that the graphic and beeping doesn’t stop when you come out of reverse and start driving forward. It seems odd to me but my son says it was like that with the factory unit and he presses the park sensor buttons. He’s happy but I’ll wait a few days until he’s used it properly to decide.
7. Unit is very responsive and the Google maps work really well.
8. Phone is good, contacts all downloaded fine.
Overall it really freshens up the car making the interior much more modern.
Very pleased overall.
