  1. When I referred to phone data for trips to Scotland, it was for journeys to Forres (near Elgin) where my daughter lives, son in law was working at Lossiemouth for a while. We love the area. Interesting coincidence.
  2. Wagster, that is a better than my setup except for delivery time.
  3. Thanks Wagster, data use would mainly be Wase satnav. We relied on amundsen but updates stopped approx 2 years ago and of course no live updates. Di-Greenio, bought fm twin Fakra from eBay £7 which had 2 separate Fakra connectors which when held together had a wider pitch than factory white Fakra on car, so filed each plastic body slightly to match and also removed locking spigot on one Fakra, then tywrapped together to ensure both locked by remaining spigot. See photo. I never found a setup with correct twin white one piece connector although twin Fakra connectors are available and didn’t foresee the wider pitch problem. There are cheaper from AliExpress as Wagster described but delivery times means installation goes on forever
  4. Yes, will give feedback on my unit when I am a bit more familiar with it. Have hardly used the phone yet - will my 4Gb a month phone data (using personal Hot Spot) be sufficient for a long drive like Essex to Scotland (600 miles each way) or do I need to increase it or maybe a separate data only sim?
  5. If I can join in on the Ebilaen installation trip, I found the 15cm long Fakra lead too short for my RHD car ( would be OK only for LHD ). If you have a DAB dongle then you can use that 15cm Fakra. I had to get a 30cm Fakra to reach the GPS connector. My car has a heated windscreen and reception through screen was not very good for FM, DAB and GPS so was driven to try to use existing car aerial system. So DAB & GPS via Fakra and then connected AM/FM to twin white factory aerial via an eBay double Fakra to aerial connector with amplifier/blue wire power feed ( I had to modify the double Fakra slightly to fit the narrower spaced factory twin white Fakra ). FM reception now good. I was replacing my MIb1 Amundsen 2014 and if 4/64GB was better than 2/32GB then I went for Ebilaen unit 8/128GB - about £230 plus DAB dongle. Nearly all installed
