Yes, two separate models. I went cheap - 5020 and Gutley went premium - 8020, so between us we should be able to answer most questions 😆
Thanks RFD - needless to say, I'd love the 8020, but my budget is more secondhand 5020! Given that one's phone needs charging when used for long distance navigation, so it has to be plugged in somewhere, I'm not sure I'd miss the wireless Auto/CarPlay element. Do you get good phone and GPS reception with roof up and the phone in the armrest, and do you find it easy to hit the volume/other buttons when on the move?
Finally, having now got yours sorted, would you do it again, or prefer to pay for 3 hours of a professional's time?

Are there two versions of the 8020DABS out there? I've seen some that have no buttons and require USB for Ap/CarPlay and A/Auto (for around £350) and others with a row of physical buttons along the bottom of the screen that connect wirelessly - but at £550?
Are the lack of physical buttons and wired connection sufficient to justify the price increase, do you think?

No, my mistake. They're different models, the DMX5020 versus the DMX8020 - note to self, 'when in doubt, read the bloody screen!'

I think the general consensus is that they are a bit flakey. FYI the 8020 that i installed has wireless CarPlay built in. Has worked flawlessly so far for me during 4 hours driving.

Hi CMA, may I ask who you use? I've been using the team that used to be called A-Plan for the last few years but they were bought out by Howdens and now want to increase my premium by 21%. Nothing about me or the car has changed in the last 12 months, except we're both a year older!
