- I'd like to be able stream audio wirelessly using bluetooth from my iPhone.
- I'd like to be able to make/answer calls using the parrot function.
Having thought about it for a while I've changed my list of requirements.
Features I'm looking for: - Must work with the existing IR steering wheel controls (critical).
- Have USB/SD card slot for MP3 files (front or rear)
- Have iPhone bluetooth audio control
- Have parrot-type call answering.
- Be an improvement sound quality wise.
- Be simple to install.
- Would be nice to retain use of the CD changer in the boot, but I know that realistically may not be an option with some of the newer features.
Budget isn't going to stretch to one of Radioguys DD units (sadly), probably looking at the second hand market to be honest.
No mad rush on this one and happy to listen to your suggestions. Thanks  |
Hi Adrian,
Don't discount Sean's double din units as there is a healthy market for the used versions ( Mgr WinCe ) as members have traded them in for the android versions.
If you give Sean a Pm he will be able to let you know prices and availability on these units.
Just one thing, unless you purchase a Kenwood head unit with infra red remote capabilities you will have to modify the steering wheel control box behind the head unit to enable functionality with Radioguys units.
This is very simple to do and we will talk you through it if you decide to purchase one of his units.
Just for clarification, this only needs to be done when the oem unit is a Kenwood radio as they are the only units from the factory that worked on infra red signals.
All other oem radios use hard wired steering controls
