I am about to take delivery of a 2013 Rapid Elegance, fitted with the Swing radio.

 

Our other car (Yeti Urban) is fitted with an Amundsen+ satnav/DAB radio and I wondered if it would be possible to retrofit one of these units into the Rapid?

 

I've found the unit in the Yeti very flexible and especially appreciate the integration with the Maxidot / multi-function steering wheel / parking sensors/ voice control etc.

 

I use a 64Gb SDHC card (formatted to FAT32) in the Yeti and am therefore able to carry most of my music with me in the car.

 

I did look at alternatives, but the Columbus unit seems enormously overpriced for what it offers. The Bolero unit seems good value, although of course lacks sat-nav.

 

I've used the Amundsen+ sat-nav extensively in all corners of the country and have found it adequate, if somewhat outdated as far as mapping goes. My local main dealer tells  me updated maps should be available soon.

 

The Rapid already has bluetooth (GSM II) and also has a USB port.

 

Has anyone carried out such a retrofit? and does anyone know if the integration with the Maxidot, parking sensor display, bluetooth etc will be maintained?

 

Also is the USB port in the Rapid compatible with the Amundsen+?

 

Many thanks for any help / advice.

Scratch that. I mis-read the posting.

If you find out, let me know.  I'm looking at doing exactly the same thing!  So far as i can tell, the features you mention should all integrate fine with a columbus or amundsen.  My problem has been trying to find a facia plate
