    Very excited soon to be Copen owners would like to know if anyone has been able to fit a head unit that supports Apple Car Play into their Copen. Thanks

    I have been able to do it. I installed a Sony XAV-AX200 which supports Android auto and Apple carplay.
    I also installed the XA-NV400 add on which gives it built in GPS and navigation (because I don't like relying on my phone for this all the time)
    I made this tutorial on CarThrottle:
    How to install a double din radio (Sony XAV-AX200 + XA-NV400) in a Daihatsu Copen
    Edit: CarThrottle closed down at some point and the pictures don't show up anymore so I re-uploaded it on my website: How to install a double din radio (Sony XAV-AX200 + XA-NV400) in a Daihatsu Copen

    I really like the pioneer SPH-DA360DAB. It has the wireless apple car play, DAB and 6.8 inch screen. But the wireless connection makes it a winner for me. Saw a review from ‘9to5’ on YouTube and there is no lag. So for me this is my next radio.

    Hi Steve I have ordered the Pioneer SPHDA 360 DAB to be fitted along with a rear camera and phone kit next week at £800.
    How does the DAB work with the standard aerial

    As far as I know you need the special one, but the results are great! Mine is fitted on the edge of the window by the passenger side. So it’s not in your sight and easy to hide the cable.

    You can get the "sticky" buttons on the left to the right in the settings. Closer to you when you sit on the other side
