Replacing my Head Unit - some questions

[gr0m1t]

Hey all,

 

Got a bit bored of my Admunsen+, so I am going to replace it with a Sony XAV-AX3005DB which has Android Auto..

 

A have a couple of questions though:

 

• I need to plug my phone in to use Android Auto - so I need to mount a USB socket in the cabin somewhere to avoid a trailing cable. I am looking at mounting it in one of the blanking plates next to the gear stick... has anyone done this before?
• The new head unit has DAB... but my car doesn't have a DAB aerial - is there a way to use the existing aerial?

 

Any help hugely appreciated!

Hi,

It works like you wish, I've got it setup.

oooo - where did you get that from?

From pab567 I have Amundsen MIB STD2 PQ ( 5L0035680E ) with that usb / 3.5 jack socket ( 5Q0035726 / 5Q0035724 )

Yeah - okay. Not sure those are going to work. I need it to terminate as USB A, and the audio would need to terminate as RCA...
