Any recommendations for an after market head unit upgrade with hands free calling, hd radio, and supports car play for a 2012 Jetta TDI with the Fender sound package?



Thank you in advance.

Either a Kenwood ddx or excelon series receiver. Or a pioneer nex. You get apple car play. DVD multiple video input HDMI but with either you will need the car module adapter so it can link to the car such as steering wheel control etc.

I installed a Kenwood ddx9703s, newer version is the 9704. It's awesome. Hd radio etc. Everything you listed and more. Android auto for maps is great. Same thing as carplay and it also comes with it.

Took it to a local place that also recommended the Pioneer Nex line. Getting a 2500 Nex installed hopefully later this week.



Thanks.
