Yes it will fit and work with ANY Peugeot 407, whether that's saloon, coupe or SW, with whatever engine.
The only issue you will run into is if you have an RT3 / RT4 / RT5 or other sat nav factory units - then you will need to reprogram the car and tell it that it has an RD4 fitted instead by using Peugeot Planet Diagnostics.

However that is not the biggest concern, the problem a lot of users have found is that operation of the parking sensor mute button can brick the BSI requiring extensive repair work. So that scared me off from going down the Android upgrade path.

However, that didn't stop me... I have installed an 10.1" android headunit

This is a rough fit (hence not clipped / screwed in). I have since placed the factory screen properly. The way it works is the original screen on top of the centre console controls ALL the vehicle functions such as parking sensors, error messages, doors open etc as per usual using a Connects2 CTSPG013 and allows me to control that screen.

I went from an RT4 to Android headunit, so I used the factory installed GPS sensor and even phone antennae!

That connects2 box also lets the steering wheel controls work with the android head-unit and outputs parking sensor sounds through the speakers while also control the factory screen through the steering wheel controls.

There is also a Pioneer 4 channel amp hidden inside the dash with a fabricated cubby hole with with wireless charger for mobile phones to be installed where the original headunit would go (got measurements slightly off by 5mm so couldn't fit it annoyingly!)

The reason I haven't posted this up as it's still a work in progress, still left to do:

1. i used the cheapest android headunit to mockup with a view to install a proper unit, which I ordered but seller sent me the wrong item and the new-new seller is messing me around.... How hard could ordering a decent android headunit be.... this has delayed me by an astounding 3 months! Also, make sure it's fully specced up, the cheapest units are almost unusable. Also make sure you pay using a decent credit card, Aliexpress did not refund me full amount and expected me to pay for shipping back. I claimed on credit card and got an instant full refund.

2. Pretty boring looking at the date/time on the factory screen. I've found a workaround using the controller from a early 607, which I've fabricated into the centre console.... will be installing with the new android headunit when it decides to arrive

3. Integrate original RT4 microphone into android headunit.

It's the standard screen from a 407 housed in a part from Japan that you can order from your local dealer.....

So depending on what unit you have deices if you can install one or not? This is the one I have which is slightly different from sgmnc's one, I also don't have that block on the window like he has and no sat nav, just radio and cd player. Would I be still ok to go ahead and buy one tomorrow?

You shouldn't have that block on the window. You have an RD4 so go ahead. Not that it matters whether you have an RD4 or RT4!

The only problem I have is with the trip computer yes, I can access it but all the sudden the indicator screen of the parking / driving starts getting crazy and flickers until I shut down the car, as I wrote before I guess that's a wiring problem that the garage I installed it in didn't do well.

I don't think that has anything to do with the wiring sadly, I've been through the wiring system with a toothpick in these 407's to get my android unit installed. The android headunit only communicates over the CANBUS through 2 wires, it seems like your unit is sending incorrect signals over the canbus which confuses the system. Using the CANBUS, you could literally do ANYTHING, send a message through it to open a window, turn a light on.... whatever! Here's a simple video on how it works.

You need to update the canbus software, maybe buy a newer canbus box from your seller. Based on what you've written though, I wouldn't recommend LJDA though.

Getting back to Torque:

These android units ALL come out of 1 or 2 actually factories. Then it will go through a reseller that you buy it from. Most of the time, it uses factory software but the more expensive ones sometimes come with the resellers own custom software.

The most important part of picking which android unit, is to confirm you WILL get the LATEST software. That is most important. There are lots of bugs such as metalsnakes, and some have been ironed out over time. Then make sure you buy one with the most RAM and best processor. (The cheapest units are usable but you'll thank yourself later for spending a tiny bit more and having a much better experience)

Because ALL android headunits are largely the same, they all have largely the same features. All have satnav (it's literally having an android phone in your dash... so download whatever satnav app you want), most can integrate a rear camera, parking sensors is more complex as not all do and your best bet is to ingrate factory parking sensors if possible. All will play video (ignition needs to be on though sadly!), all will support diagnostics (it's just an app that communicates over bluetooth), all can add a hard drive as all have USB ports. DAB radio is hard as not all supports it... but you can just download and use Spotify / Deezer to play music direct on the headunit and use the internet off your phone.

The android unit did come with a CANBUS box unit that was installed. So the box itself bad?

First email your seller and outline the problem. Ask for any software updates and update all the software. If that does not fix, then ask for new canbus box

Yep I had a bad experience on Aliexpress, luckily I paid on an Amex and those guys are really great. Simple dispute form, uploaded a few photos, Amex secured a full refund no problems, didn't have to return the incorrect item so I have a spare headunit (even though it is useless for me). Lesson to be learnt - always pay on credit card.
