Progress thread : White Astra 2.0 Cdti Sri vx line

[marcus]

When I bought the car, the only extras fitted to it were the front and rear parking sensors. Rear ones work fine but the front ones are embedded in the number plate and go off driving passed parked cars on the side of the road.

First thing I do when I start the car is turn off the stop/start and then turn off the front parking sensors.

Moving on, my car didn't come with the bluetooth module or USB port which irked me somewhat. I have the cd400 audio system. I explored a few retrofit options for these items but they really cost an arm and a leg for them.

I also quite fancied a sat nav so decided to buy the S160 M072 unit from China. Via iceboxauto in the UK. The unit itself is easy to fit and covers all the bits and pieces I was after. No brainer for 300 quid.


Sound quality is pretty good. Sat nav uses iGo my way software. Unit also has bluetooth, 2 USB interface , sd card, inputs for reverse camera and dvr.

A few photos of it.

I also decided to buy a wireless reverse camera from eBay for 28 quid. It works pretty well.

I thought it might be handy to have a proper mounted usb port so @sheppy was kind enough to source me one off eBay for 20 quid. Bargain as it connects seamlessly to the head unit.
