RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - sheppy1 - 25:th-Feb-2016
No problemo!
Can't seem to get the inbuilt "Google Search" feature working for the iGo SatNav though...But not an issue with me using Waze now
RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - marcus - 25:th-Feb-2016

Did some searching and found that no one has this working...on ANY units. Must be because it's probably knocked off lol

Looks good. Is it good?
"Massive dance hits".. sounds dirty. =)
RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - sheppy1 - 25:th-Feb-2016
Hahaha it feels dirty! And yep...absolutely spot on! Couldn't be any better mate... Well worth the cash if you don't already have a Navi system...and even worth considering upgrading to it if you do!

Yeh, thinking of upgrade the speakers or add a base. Now I got CD400 and seen all pixels now after 6 month.
Hehe.. bullies..

Did you resolve the issue with it telling you wrong door was open or wrong heated seat was on?
RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - sheppy1 - 25:th-Feb-2016
Wrong door yes [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] setting in a hidden menu, heated seats no... The seller is finding out what the issue is

Maybe because Opel has a left-hand steering wheel (driver seat is the left one).

Sounds correct [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - sheppy1 - 25:th-Feb-2016
Ha yep just dunno how to change it around! Must he a way!
Right I'm bloody loving this unit! Have my Spotify built right in there now with all my songs, got waze for my satnav and also an Internet radio app for every radio station I could ever want! Best thing I've ever bought for the car!

RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - mrtc - 25:th-Feb-2016
is there a way of adding a freeview tv to the satnav?
RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - sheppy1 - 25:th-Feb-2016
Sure is... It supports digital TV but you have to get a digital TV tuner which I'm not sure how much they are or where you get them from!

That's only for platforms up to s150 mate. The one I have is S160. Not something I'd personally be interested in either

Did you have to use the oceanofapk Spotify apk? The first Spotify apk I downloaded didn't work for me. Downloaded the oceans modded one and works perfect. Can't get Google maps working via the apk though. :(

RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - sheppy1 - 25:th-Feb-2016
That's odd... I just found a site where you pop in the official Google play url for the app you want and it downloaded it straight from their servers... That one worked

RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - marcus - 26:th-Feb-2016
I ordered the s100 only for the reseller to persuade me to get the s160 unit instead. Better screen, Android more flexible, better spec but you do not get the ipod interface if that's a deal breaker for you. The unit has 2 usb ports (one that connects to the usb port on the car itself if you have that option) and SD card. I didn't have the USB option in the car but Sheppy was kind enough to source me the housing for 20 quid on eBay. Works perfectly with this unit. I think you mentioned you were in Dublin? I got my unit delivered to parcel motel for 20 quid instead of the 55 quid international postage.

It's called ifly
Obviously it needs a data connection but it barely uses any data which surprised me...less than 50mb in a week of testing on me phone...sure it will be the same on the head unit.

RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - mrtc - 27:th-Feb-2016
i have an idea, instead of adding deluxe badges, why not just add "+", so it would be elite+
i have my eye on the fiesta style+ badge, as i cant seeem to find just a +,
i did think of adding an s, so its elite s but s mens sporty so until you have a bodykit it would look weird
RE: Progress Thread: Sheppy1 - sheppy1 - 27:th-Feb-2016
Hahaha I actually thought of just that! See I think I draw the line at adding badges for things that don't exist... Like mines an elite in my eyes as it's pretty well specced now and not many would spot that it isn't... But adding a plus badge would look daft as it's not a real thing lol

Not bad eh! Need new tyres soon anyway and I priced up the ones he has on those alloys and they're 120 each! Also they're 18s too so slight upgrade to my 17s [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
Just hope it doesn't ***** up the speedo too much
