Where to find standard head units - cubez0 - 1:st-Oct-2018

Hey all, 

I have a '16 plate SRi, when i brought it has a DriveAuto head unit. 

Does anyone know where I can find a 600/650/950 to put it back to standard? 

I have been using a newer corsa for a bit and have found android auto enabled system to be perfect for me and i would like to go back to one of these standard units and use it?

Could only find this on ebay:

Any help would be appreciated!

You would need wiring changes and programming to make a Navi work, none of factory navi's have android auto on the J.

The Navi unit would need programming so it knew BT was there.

Myself in Bournemouth or John in Northampton could program the Navi for you and supply and fit the BT module and wiring.

BT modules can picked up fairly cheaply off ebay just need to make sure it comes with a bracket.

If you wanted loom, fitting and programming from myself,

To supply and fit loom £100 (custom made loom as you can't buy them separate from dash loom) to program radio would be £70 (this would also give you rear camera & DAB if you wanted to fit at a later date).

Hi Rusty,

Thanks for the information not as expensive as I though is it hard to do the DAB upgrade and rear camera as I think doing all at once would be best save doing two trips as I’m in Nottinghamshire

DAB module
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-INSIGNIA-ASTRA-J-DAB-MODULE-TRANSCEIVER-AUDIO-NAVIGATION-13319590/352460710230?epid=646467635&hash=item52104ba156:g:lWQAAOSw3hJbmoRx:rk:1:pf:0

Rear camera on 5-door Hatchback & GTC is £170 supplied and fitted (again custom made loom).

If you want to go down the DAB route at the same I'd advise a roof aerial, best I've used (for sharkfin wise is Calearo or Celsus) of course you could use a windscreen mount one.

Hi Rusty

Thanks for the tips as soon as I have bought the modules needed I’ll contact yourself about the programming of the units and come down to you if that’s ok.

Thanks for all the help

May also end up wanting the LED Conversion too

That's not a problem at all.
