Hi there,
I'm new to the forum and have recently bought a 2015 Everest Ambiente.
I've been reading the threads but couldn't seem to find any info about the head units and whether its possible to fit a head unit found in the Trend into my Ambiente or other options that might be available to me. I'm quite happy with the basic fitout of the Ambiente for 4x4 use, less things to go wrong. But I find the head unit quite small and not very interactive or useful. So i'm thinking of upgrading either to something aftermarket or the same unit as found in the Trend but not sure if it can readily be made to fit the space found in the Ambiente.
Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
Thanks

... Following, as I'm tossing up between buying an Ambiente or Trend, and the head unit is one of the few differences that matter a bit too me

...

I havent heard of anyone replacing the head unit in AU - I'd assume it might also involve the body control computer though so wouldn't exactly be a cheap exercise - and yeah that was one of the reasons my Partner "suggested" we should buy the Trend. A quick google search though did find this - which "might" also work with the Everest... (you'd need to have a chat with them, It actually looks kind of interesting given it adds android play but yeah different model vehicle so who knows... carboncarsystems.com.au/shop/complete-stereo-solutions/kenwood-ddx9018dabs-for-ford-ranger-px2/

I emailed them and the response was they weren't sure if it would be compatible or not. The standard unit pictured for the ranger looked just like the one on the everest. But $1200 is a lot for taking a risk that it might work. Hopefully they'll eventually release something for the everest.
