Hi to all polo owners
Everytime I look at my POLO OEM HU, I really feel its missing something
AUX In![[surprise]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Surprise.gif "Surprise [surprise]")
, I never like to use one.
Speakers and Sound output, Enough for an average listner
Then ???
Its the Track Title, when was the last time you saw track 1 , track 2 on any LCD screen![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")
VW how could you deliver us HU without integrating track names
Was it so difficult ??
That means now you have to hear each track before knowing the name.
No Album Title, Folder Title .. Yes its true.
What I do ?
For now I am driving without music
But I plan out some HU upgrade ( I am ok with speakers)
I have the following options
1. WITSON Touch Unit
2. CASKA
3. JVC or PIONEER Touch unit
First a brief about all the options -
WITSON is a chinese company which is manufacturing OEM look HU/ relicas ( I would say) for some years and according to me are very successful already in US.
They attend every version of Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Version 14-17 April; Autumn Version 13-16 October) and foreign Electronics Fair(CAR+SOUND in Germany,MOTORTECH in Spain, etc.) as well.
But with no ASS, its a gamble.
Second is CASKA, same as Witson but comes with ASS in India and comes double the price just for the after sales YES TRUE
Moving forward the other options are JVC and pioneers very safe(comes with harness now so no wire cuts) but you would never be able to match with the current interior theme
My heart says WITSON and so is my detailed research on the same for the past few days
You can look at the VW series HU's on the below link
VOLKSWAGEN Series----ZHUHAI WITSON INDUSTRIAL CO.,LTD.---Professional Car DVD Player Manufacturer
I have shortlisted 2 HU's which not at all matches but looks OEM trust me
(W2-D723V)
VOLKSWAGEN SERIES CAR(New Arrival)
(W2-D9240V)
Before going forward it was very necessary to see the wiring diagram of both the units to see whether it is compatible with our current polo HU
This is important as I want the OEM coupler to plug in directly without needing any harness so NO WARRANY VOIDS
So first we need to understand about the POLO OEM HU
Our Polo has standard 8 pin connectors( 2 in nos ) { Source: my own car along with the help of local mechanic}
One is black, the other one is brown
For Speaker connections we have 8 wires running for 4 speakers.
Coming to the power connector, four contacts are used. Battery Positive & Negative, Parking light on/off sensor & Ignition on/off sensor.
Fuse 10 A was written on the sticker ( Look at the pic attached taken from my digicam,)
Moving to Witson I was able to find the Witson model with the same wiring diagram i.e (W2-D723V) and the coupler design
VOLKSWAGEN SERIES CAR----ZHUHAI WITSON INDUSTRIAL CO.,LTD.---Professional Car DVD Player Manufacturer
Look at the attached image( Source : Witson web)
The first slot the lengthy one needs to be left unused
The below slot is for speakers connector
The last one is for the Power connector. So with this unit, no need to attach any harness. WOW
Main highlights of this unit // Source : Witson web
Special features:
1. External bluetooth microphone included now!!! (1.9M length)
2. Same design as the original VW car DVD player
3. Supports all the buttons on the steering wheel control
4. Phone book function (show name of mobile Tel No.)
5. DVD info displays on the small dashboard LCD (MFD)
6. TMC function available (Optional)
7. Packing assistance included (Only Support Golf 6)
8. Air conditioner/Climate display support (Only Support Golf 6)
◆ 6.2 digital 800*480 screen resolution
◆ DVD info displays on the small dashboard LCD (MFD)
◆ Built-in GPS system
◆ Dual zone function (Listen Radio/CD while watching GPS image)
◆ Built-in Bluetooth
◆ USB port
◆ SD card slots (Two SD card slots, one for GPS, one for Multimedia)
◆ iPod control
◆ RDS receiver function
◆ Built-in TV tuner
◆ Built-in DVB-T tuner (Optional)
◆ Built-in ISDB-T tuner (Optional)
◆ TMC function available (Optional)
◆ Steering wheel control function (With CANBUS (MQB))
◆ Auto rear viewing function
◆ Red button backlight
For GPS and Rear view camera proper wiring needs to be done.
Currently I don't need the reverse camera but I have got a coupler from World class automobiles Moti nagar which will power the camera from reverse lamp without any wire cut(WOW)
So now the very important the COST,
Witson has quoted me 255 US dollars for the above HU and 25 US dollar for each reverse camera. I still need to confirm the shipping costs and the payment options. Would update you.
I won't consider any speakers upgrade as I dont want to fiddle with original fittment of doors so this would be enought for me.
Please give me your inputs and ideas
