Thanks guys.

Yes, I get the odd audio hole, but as the phone's data signal is pretty crap here on the island, I've put it down to that. It only lasts a few seconds and if I end up parked in a hole, I change to on board music as opposed to Amazon Music. I don't think it's any worse than the other unit was . . .

Oops! I accidentally just ordered this. I was going to wait, but my finger slipped.

Accidentally!!!

That'll make a massive difference. Nice upgrade, I did look at that for mine...

Still at least you already know how it all comes apart... Should have it fitted within the hour

I don't know about an hour. From the videos I've seen it'll probably take a full day.

I had some discount points to use up and they offered an extra £30.00 discount too, so it only came in at a little over £150.00. I figured at that price, it was worth a go.

The CD/DVD unit doesn't work on mine anyway, so I'll see if I can fix that when it's out and if I can, it will go in the 'original parts box' in case I ever need to reverse any of this at a later date. I've not used discs for years anyway . . .

Just in case anyone's waiting to see how I get on with this, I've just cancelled it.

I've been waiting for a shipping update, but nothing was forthcoming. A quick check showed that the seller was not going to ship for another three weeks.

Needless to say, I told them to forget it and got a refund.

good job you cancelled it as it the wrong model even though they say its for 2011 onwards, that model is for the newer sports.

you need one like this and check which system you have.

Thanks, but I'd ordered the right one. I don't know why that link showed the different model?

Hi RK

I'm using blue tooth to the unit, not the Aux jack port, however the factory head unit need to be set to aux to get phone sound.

Downside to that is you lose radio when using phone or Waze for example. I stream radio and use RAYO app so all good for me.

I actually find the streamed radio quality better than the standard DAB.

Hope that helps
