I’m trying to source a connects2 unit for my fiat Ducato based Motorhome, it’s a March 2014 manufacturing date. I notice that,some connects2 units say compatible with open dash models only, my question is what the heck is an open dash model please.
TIA

If I had to guess, I'd say some Ducatos were supplied without a headunit, giving them an "open dash".

Yes, I did wonder that, difficult to tell what I have as when I purchased it had an Alpine head unit in, so maybe was an ope dash. I wonder if there is any other way of confirming this ?.
Thanks for reply

AFAIK FIAT never factory fitted Alpine hardware in any vehicles, so I'd say that was "open dash" from the factory.
Edit: The Alpine would have been fitted by the convertors, presumably.

Thank you, yes I think that’s what I am coming around to thinking, so hopefully the Connects2 CTSFA010.2 unit for open dash Fiat Ducato 2012-2014 is the way to go.
Thanks

The open dash version of Connects2 worked, so yes, open dash seems to be the model speed to allow you to fit aftermarket head units.
