hello from east Sussex - caspyrp - 20:th-Jan-2019

Hi all 
just brought a 2015 GTC bi turbo and loving it so far its just a shame that they missed of the bluetooth but hey at least i got DAB
might look at upgrading th ehead unit but not sure if to go for and android unit or double din stereo 
i like the chinese units as it puts the display were it needs to be but hate that they dont display the radio station just the frequency  and just not sure about the quality of them 

any way do you have any meet ups for the group near east sussex ?

Welcome to the forum, nice to see that we both have the same model, a very nice car, good on fuel on the motorway if you drive like me, I did upgrade my cd400+ to a Navi 950 via a CarVision unit which was already installed in the car when I bought her, then which was replaced by a Pioneer F88 then finally the Navi 950.

thanks for the welcome
sounds like you take your music just as serious
i looked at the double din and an apple play radio but was put of by the location and having to change the trim.
i am hearing good things about the Nav950 was it an easy retrofit ?

The Navi 950 was retrofitted by Rusty 2009 who sorted out the wiring, did the vci code & installed the oem reversing camera, Rusty is quite knowledgeable with most retrofits as he has done my power folding mirrors, ipc menu upgrade on this car alone,on my previous Astra J sri rusty upgraded my ipc, fitted power folding mirrors, rear electric windows & was going to retrofit twin reversing lights & twin rear fog lights before I had the car written off, there are other members on this site who can do the retrofits,but as Rusty is closes to where I live & his reputation is second to none then is why I rate Rusty so highly.
