I wanted a unit that looked factory fit and kept the original Vauxhall OEM DAB and Bluetooth etc.
The only issue the unit has, is that you can only have one Bluetooth feed switched on, either the Vauxhall or the Drive Audio one. Not both!
I decided just to use the Vauxhall one, but I could have easily unpaired my phone from the CD400 and connected it to the Drive Audio Bluetooth instead. Both have there advantages and disadvantages.
Other than that you keep/gain DAB, 2 x USB Ports, Sat Nav with speed cam locations, DVD (Optional) and Reversing Camera (Again Optional).
Have a look at the link above and speak to John, I spent nearly an hour on the phone to him before I took the plunge. I would also recommend that you take advantage of the Drive In free fitting as well, if you decide your interested.
I had Nav CD 500 in my first 2010 (Brand New) Astra J 5 Door and the Navi 600 in my 2013 Astra GTC 1.6T (Brand New) and wanted something similar in my Astra J VXR. When I bought the car new in 2015 the dealer did me such a good deal on the car that I bought it without the Sat Nav. My thinking was I wouldn't be driving this car as much as I drove my first Astra Diesel.
Over the first 10 months I realised that the Astra J VXR is indeed a car that you can use every day and with this I was soon missing my Sat Nav. This unit is as good if not better than the other two factory units I have had in the past, plus I now have speed camera warnings as well.
Map updates are also only £26.00.
That's an interesting review actually. I've seen others not so favourable towards the CV unit. What's the screen quality like? I heard that they suffer in the sun where you struggle to see it?
Loosing factory DAB is one of the main reasons that stops me getting the android unit. I spent time and money having it installed and I don't think I'm willing to lose it as an option. Does the CV unit integrate seamlessly with the Vauxhall DAB and BT?
