The Right Hand Drive (RHD) Mk7 Golf has custom Android Headunits available for it. They replace the factory-fitted VW entertainment system and look factory-fitted, but with so many choices, which is the best?
The Golf 7 (2012–2020) Android headunit upgrade comes fitted with a plastic surround. This is to fully integrate the headunit into the dashboard for the best-looking install. The LHD and RHD are mirrored and incompatible with each other. The LHD is available here.
It has to be quick.
Our selected Android headunit for the left-hand drive Golf 7 has an 8-core processor. This feature makes it currently up with faster processors in an Android Headunit. The 8 GB of RAM fitted ensures that a lack of RAM does not throttle performance. This gives a smooth and fluid response and good boot times.
CAN bus support
Custom fit means that the correct CAN BUS adaptor is included along with the factory-style connectors to make it a plug-and-play install. The custom fit also integrates with the dash perfectly.
Our Recommendation
A highly specified Android Headunit with modern features means it will continue to run even the most demanding apps of the future. It is supplied with a CAN bus adaptor to preserve factory steering wheel controls (SWC). Built with the fastest processor, plenty of RAM, the correct shape fascia, and easy-to-fit factory connectors, our recommended Android headunit for the Right Hand Drive Golf Mk7 is available here.
Choosing the option with the extra RAM, higher quality reversing camera, and any other features you need is important to get the one reviewed here for its superior RAM and Processor.
