Hi guys, stumbled on this excellent forum after good old google pointed me this way whilst researching!
I have a 2011 insignia with the CD400 DAB and USB factory fitted system and basically want to add Nav and Bluetooth.
I know i will need a whole unit to upgrade, but i'm struggling to find one suitable.
I looked on IceBox and it seems daft that i can get an android unit with nav and bluetooth, but without DAB. I dont mind paying extra for bluetooth and Nav, but to pay extra on top of that for DAB when i already have it, is very annoying.
Having read through this thread, i see the CD 400 can be upgraded to the 500, but all the pictures i'm seeing have different facias to mine - does this matter?
I have found second hand genuine units on Ebay, but again the facias, in particular the lower buttons console where all the heating controls are, are different in that they dont have the heated seat buttons etc. Again, does this matter or am i able to leave the existing panel in there?
As for my competence, i have been doing straight swaps on older cars for years, but have no clue about modern programming etc. They've moved on a lot since the old single din aftermarkets. If its a simple case of removing panels and dash for a straight swap, then i can do it myself, but if it involves more than that, is anyone local to do it for me?
Thanks for any help
