Radio for caddy with Carplay, aux in and reverse sensors
Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2026 1:43 pm
I can't believe I'm the only one with these requirements so thought i'd ask and see what radios people are using which have the following:
1. Apple Carplay (wired is fine!)
2. bluetooth
3. aux in (3.5mm)
4. Uses reverse sensors
5. Must have a physical volume knob!
With the exception of point no.4 I've found that the Sony XAV-AX1005DB ticks all the of boxes. I might get it and install a reverse camera.
Alternatively, there are all the RCDxxx units. Which I am very weary of. The Caddy currently has some sort of generation of this product made by "XTRONs" and it is total crap. Slow, Satnav doesn't work. Bluetooth doesn't work. Radio doesn't work. Amp sounds HORRIBLE.
On paper something like the RCD330 or 360 is what I need... but I who actually makes these? How do I know if I am getting a good one?
