Do you have a Mercedes Benz Sprinter van from 2006 (and on) and would like to fit an Android Headunit?
The popular Mercedes Sprinter van has a factory-installed radio; if it no longer functions, it can be uneconomical to repair. Or it could be outdated, and something better with GPS SAT NAV or DAB+ Radio is required. The android Headunit reviewed here covers the Mercedes Sprinters from 2006, Vito van, Viano, A-class/W169, and B-class/W245. It is an ideal replacement for those models with factory units installed.
Keep Mercedes factory options.
You will want to keep the steering wheel controls and add a reversing camera and DAB radio option. These are all available to Android headunits, and getting the right one for the Sprinter is important for the factory features to continue functioning.
The easy option
The easiest way to install an Android headunit to the Sprinter, keep the factory features, and remove the need for a fascia adaptor is to install a custom-fit Android headunit. The important CAN bus adaptor is included and ensures the communication between the van and headunit continues to flow. This Sprinter Android Headunit has a factory-style connector, making the electrical installation a plug-and-play job. You also get a proper physical fit without the need for universal adaptors, making the whole job much tidier and professional, even if you fit it yourself.
Available Addons
This Android Headunit is compatible with:
Universal Reversing Cameras,
360-degree camera views,
DAB+ Radio upgrade,
GPS Sat-Nav with Google Maps or Waze,
Aftermarket Steering Wheel Controls (SWC),
Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS),

Our Recommendation
Having a brand name gives peace of mind. DAB, Reversing camera, and even TPMS are all available. But there is no point having all this, only to find it is slow to use and sluggish. You need to pick the right Android headunit for a Sprinter, and this Bosion for Sprinter is the one. It had a large screen because no physical buttons took up useful space. It includes the PX6 HexaCore processor and 4 GB RAM, making it one of the fastest Android headunits available for the Sprinter Van (and its derivatives). It has all the connectivity, a standard feature of Android headunit,s and will not disappoint.
