OEM-style Android upgrade - Lancia and Chrysler Ypsilon
Your Ypsilon left the factory with a radio, not a screen. The TFS8787 puts a 7-inch Android 15 unit into that same aperture, and it keeps the moulded fascia, the two rotary knobs and the button column exactly where they sit today. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are part of the package on the builds we list below.
This is the part that decides whether the job goes smoothly, so let's get it right first. The 8787 fascia is moulded for the Lancia Ypsilon and Chrysler Ypsilon 2011-2020 dashboard, where the factory radio sits low in the centre console with the small storage slot above it. Our product page carries a fitment note: three dashboard layouts are marked as a match and two are marked as a mismatch.
Look at that picture before you order, then send us your model year and the VIN, because two Ypsilons from the same year can leave the line with different centre consoles depending on trim level and market.

The original head unit in these cars is a CD radio. It has a compact display, a row of buttons on either side, and it plays radio and CDs. That's the whole list. You can't mirror your phone onto it, and you can't run a navigation app either. Ever tried following a route on a display the size of a business card while your phone slides off the passenger seat at the first roundabout? It's awkward, and it's genuinely annoying first thing in the morning.
Drop the 8787 in and the same aperture holds a 7-inch 1280x720 IPS touchscreen. Because the fascia follows the original moulding, the dashboard keeps its factory line, and the rotary knobs and the button column stay in place. The shot below is from our own install, not a render.
We filmed this upgrade in a real Ypsilon. The three clips play right here on the page: English interface, Italian interface, and the installation itself.

There are three honest routes here, and the gaps show up fast once you price the extra parts. Keeping the factory radio costs nothing and does nothing new. A marketplace universal double-DIN often needs a dash kit, a cage and some trimming behind the fascia. And here's the part a marketplace listing never mentions: even a fascia that drops straight in is joining a conversation with whatever your trim level left behind in the dash, and that conversation is far easier to have with us than with a returns label.
| What you are comparing | Keep the factory unit | A marketplace listing | TFS8787 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display | Small factory display with physical buttons | Universal cage, dash kit, trimming | 7-inch 1280x720 IPS in a moulded OEM-style fascia |
| Phone integration | Bluetooth audio only | CarPlay support varies by seller | Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto |
| Navigation | Not available | Bundled regional app, quality varies | Runs the Android navigation app you already use |
| Platform | Frozen at the year of build | Older Android releases on budget listings | Android 15 on the builds listed in this article |
| Fitting work | Nothing to do | Brackets and cutting often needed | Uses the original aperture and mounting points |
| Support | Dealer service desk | Marketplace returns flow | Wiring and version confirmation from the factory |
The factory and marketplace columns describe each route in general terms; the WITSON column lists our published specification.
Pair your phone once and it reconnects on its own when you get in. No cable across the console.
Wide viewing angles and a genuinely sharp map, which matters more than the headline size suggests.
A charge port sits in the fascia below the right knob, so your phone keeps charging while CarPlay runs.
The hardware is worth a closer look, because these are the bits you'll live with day to day. The knobs still have their chrome rings, the BAND and DIM keys work the way they always did, and the moulding keeps the same trim strip across the top as the factory part. If you want DSP for tuning, I'd fit the TC. If memory and a faster processor matter more than 4G to you, I'd take the TFS and stop there. Which of those is closer to how you actually use the car?
People ask us this constantly, so here's the short version. The fascia and the 7-inch 1280x720 IPS screen are the same across the family. What changes is the processor, the memory, the networking and the audio hardware, and that's what you're paying for as you move up.
| Build | RAM + storage | Processor | Network |
|---|---|---|---|
| TBR | 2G + 32G | ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core | WiFi 6.0 |
| TVR | 4G + 64G | ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core | WiFi 6.0 |
| TC | 4G + 32G | UIS7862 octa-core 1.8GHz | 4G LTE + WiFi |
| TVS | 4G + 64G | UIS8581A octa-core 1.6GHz | 4G LTE + WiFi |
| TFS | 6G + 128G | UIS8581A octa-core 1.6GHz | 4G LTE + WiFi |
The 8787 family supports a set of plug-in accessories: a rear camera, a front DVR camera, TPMS sensors, a DAB+ antenna, and an ELM327 OBD2 scanner for engine data on screen. DSP is built in on the TC and TVS builds and isn't present on TBR and TVR, so that's your deciding line for tuning.
A matching connector gets your power, ground and speakers talking. It says nothing about a factory amplifier, the steering wheel buttons, the antenna feed or a proprietary bus in your particular car. Those depend on trim level. Tell us what your Ypsilon has, and we'll confirm the loom and any interface box in the same message.
If you need the installation guide, a wiring reference or a loom check, send us your model year and a photo of your console. We answer in English, Russian, Spanish and Italian. Not sure which build suits your car? Ask us, and we'll point you at one.

Yes. The rotary knobs and the key column are part of the new fascia, and the BAND, DIM, HOME and MUSIC keys keep their original functions.
