Reasons for my purchase
- Android apps incl. always up-to-date and free navigation and Spotify, Amazon Music.
- Android also with wireless connection, wireless mirroring and not only USB cable connection, just like many other devices with Apple iPhones.
- Navigation also with search for brand terms or the like
- Direct fit in the 2 DIN slots without overhang
- Optical impression of the software in non-Android à inconspicuous
Nice additional features, but I do not use them yet
- HDMI connection, which is also not often found.
- Up to 3 cameras can be connected. I only use the front and rear camera, which is automatically activated via reverse gear.
Assessment
- DAB reception and FM radio is good and reliable in the Fiat Ducato with the standard antenna.
- “Hey Google” function with voice commands works very reliably.
- 7-inch display has a very good display even when viewed from the side.
- Sound quality with standard Fiat speakers is good. The radio still has some reserves.
- Very fast startup of the operating system.
- Functions like WhatsApp etc. are not even used by the passenger.
Disadvantages of the 8020 DABS I deliberately entered
- No volume dial, only buttons.
- No navigation integrated.
- No CD drive, but access to external USB hard drive or stick.
