  1. Hi, Unfortunatley my local garage had broken the Near Side Electrochromatic Wing Mirror and refuse to take responsibility for it. They claim to get an official replacement will cost nearly £400. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement at a reasonable cost, I have looked on eBay without luck.
  2. I had a unit from them bought from me as a birthday present a few years ago, unfortunately the unit was defective, they claimed to have replaced the unit but sent me the same faulty unit back as it still had my phone paired with it and the same faulty parts. When I complained I got told exactly where to go and not in a nice way. I still have it boxed up in the garage as I can’t even give it away.
  3. Thx for the replies so far, I am looking for a head unit that uses Apple CarPlay rather than has the services built into the head unit.
  4. Thanks for that Rjg i forgot to mention I would like the new head unit to have DAB radio
  5. Hi everyone. I have just brought my 06 reg Skoda Octavia MK II L&K Diesel 1.9 TDI out of mothballs after having a company car for a while. I need some advice on what to replace my original STREAM head unit with. I know it needs to be a double DIN, I dont have a preference on manufacturer as long as its not a Chinese knock-off, I would also need to know what facer,ariel and bus adapter for steering wheel controls I would need. I have an iPhone 7 and would like a unit that is Apple CarPlay compatible as I would like to use it for google maps and music streaming via Spotify for example and also some form of aux etc for phones that dont have apple or android CarPlay I still have the original speakers which are sounding a little ropey so advice on what to replace them with would also be good. I have a budget which isn't small but it isn't huge either
  6. What is meant by "bluetooth with Full iPhone compatibility" is that it can do hands free, phonebook, ipod function etc
  7. Hi I have an 06 reg Skoda Octavia II L&K Diesel 1.9 TDI, I would ideally like to un-clutter my Dash by removing the sat-nav and bluetooth hands free etc and replacing the existing radio/CD player with something that combines the sat-nav, DAB radio, bluetooth with Full iPhone compatibility, dvd and SD card and video playback, but i would also like to keep the connectivity with the steering wheel and ideally but not essentially the 6 CD multi-changer in the boot. Added bonuses would be a digital tv tuner (i know these don't work while driving but spend a lot of time in my car) I've found several Radio head units online that do some of the job but not all of the job, some work with the iPhone but not with the CD multi-changer and some vice versa, some say the work with both and then when it actually comes to it they dont work with either or the sat-nav is some brand i've never heard of and cant be updated or is an illegal copy of a named brand. Any advice on what to buy and where to go without spending £1000's which is what i'm being quoted by many car audio people and even then i'm being offered a solution that only does part of the job.
