Are all these vans are based on the same platform and will use the same android headunit.
Custom Fit
A custom fit android headunit for the Ducato/Jumper/Boxer vans will need a plastic fascia to make up for the curve of the dashboard. You will also need the CAN BUS adaptor is you want to integrate the vehicle information into the android headunit. Factory fit cables that are specific to the platform used to make the Ducato, Jumper and Boxer vans.
Custom fascia for the van
A factory style fascia supplied with the custom fit Ducato android headunits make the finished install look much more professional.
