Hi Chaps Smile

Okay two parts to this question...

1. Anyone know which CD displays have full graphics...I thought CD500 and 600 but not sure
2. Anyone got any idea how to add the video wire into the car loom so that I can connect one of the above displays up to my car which currently has a CD400 and NO full colour display?
Thanks

Okay then... Any idea what cheap (but half decent) after market setup you'd recommend? Rustys looked good but out of my price range

Seen a guy on the facebook page with what looked like a cd400 but the display said BT. He was streaming music via it which i didn't think was possible. Reg check says he has an Excite model. Thoughts?

So if the cd400 has USB and Bluetooth, you can stream your music via Bluetooth? I always thought you couldn't stream over bluetooth

You can get a Bluetooth module from raysmith for £249 which will allow you to stream music to your head unit.

For about £40 extra you can have the M072 (S160) head unit which pretty much has everything you need.

The module from Ray Smith is crap, I had one and promptly returned it.

Like I said, I wouldn't consider spending £250 on a bluetooth device when you can have sat nav, bt etc for just a bit more.
