Hi All, does anyone know if there is any sort of Bluetooth module that integrates into the factory fit Swing Radio that is fitted into my 2015 Roomster. Seen a few on eBay that connect into the CD Multiplayer socket on the back of the radio. I’m not fussed about DAB and would rather stay stock as I want the reverse sensors to work. I’m guessing that the Media menu seems to have a blank section where the multiplayer could be selected, see the attached photo. 
Does anyone know the RNS model number. 
 

Thanks
 

Hey all, I too am interested in this! I don't want to make phone calls, just bluetooth to an MP3 player for music.

I put one of those Android units in when I had my Roomster. That gave me DAB and SatNav. I had to swap the rear roof antenna for a DAB antenna but that worked fine for me.

When I sold it I gave the removed Swing unit too, just incase the new owner wanted to put it back to original.

It did the Parking sensor display fine, picked up the data from the CanBus.

Yes this is easy.

Just buy a Bluetooth radio transmitter from Asda.

Plugs into the cigarette lighter.

It transmits a radio frequency that you tune the radio to.

And connects to the phone or other device by Bluetooth.

I've been using one for years.

@aubrey how difficult was it to retrofit the roof aerial?

I’m looking at swapping my Swing for an Amundsen and thinking a stick on windscreen type easier to begin with.

I didn't get on with the windscreen type. I live in London and it worked fine in town, but often DAB broke up in the countryside. It was perfect with the roof antenna.

Fitting was not hard. I had the glass roof, so antenna was at the rear. Open up the tailgate and right at the rear of the roof lining there are a few plastic rivets. Try as much as I did, they did snap on removal. But I just used other push in plastic rivet fittings afterwards. But pop those rear rivets out and you can pull the lining down enough to get a spanner on and swap antennas. You can pull off door trim rubber at the top to feed cable forward and down an A Piller.

If your antenna is at the front then I've never done them but have read access is behind the reading light.

Thanks a lot. I assume the FM cable needs replacing for a GPS & DAB version. Is the passenger side A pillar better as you can get the top glovebox out.

I’ve seen used shark aerials at scrap dealers on eBay and thought an OE one would be best.

I’m swapping out the standard Swing for an Amundsen+ so know I’ll need GPS & DAB.

My DAB antenna was a combination of 2 aerials. DAB and AM/FM. There were infact 3 cables comimg from it, the DAB Cable, the AM/FM Cable and a 12v Power feed. The 12V was for an integrated RF Amp and I powered that from the external antenna power of my android unit, that was 12v when the unit was turned on.

On the android units the DAB and AM/FM connections are separate, I've no idea if the OEM units are separate or combined. Is it even possible to combine them ?

GPS I've never had problems with the GPS antennas you just throw behind the units on install, but an external one can only be better. I've put GPS antennas behind A Pillers before at the top.

I also had to get some Fakra adapters at headunit end but you'd obviously get whatever connector adapters are required to your needs.

You can come down either A Piller, the glove box comes out easily if required, it really doesn't make much difference. Obviously cable tie your new wires along to the existing cabling, don't squeeze the roof drains, and not infront of or around the air bags.

This is exactly what I ordered back in 2017, says unavailable now but looks identical to ones still sold.
