Guys I'm thinking of putting an android head unit in my Leon as I can find a way to update the sat nav, my question is, will the parking sensors still work OK with the original headunit removed.

You don’t state what model Leon you have but if it’s a Mk3 why not look to upgrade to a Seat MIB with Mapcare (Sat Nav Updates) from


With this option all normal functions of the car continue to work and you can even get Full Link activated too.

If you have an FR go down the retrofit route or don't bother.
Cheap android units such as Xtrons aren't designed for FR and only have 6 out of the 8 pins required for the speaker, so you'll be without the front low end speakers.
It is possible to bodge it however you'll need a harness extension and some crossovers, which again will add up.
