Did some searching and found that no one has this working...on ANY units. Must be because it's probably knocked off lol

Quick pic of the nice Spotify UI



It's currently saving all my songs for offline use to the 32gb sd card

Looks good. Is it good?

"Massive dance hits".. sounds dirty. =)

Hahaha it feels dirty! And yep...absolutely spot on! Couldn't be any better mate... Well worth the cash if you don't already have a Navi system...and even worth considering upgrading to it if you do!

Did you resolve the issue with it telling you wrong door was open or wrong heated seat was on?
Reply
Wrong door yes setting in a hidden menu, heated seats no... The seller is finding out what the issue is

Maybe because Opel has a left-hand steering wheel (driver seat is the left one).

Sounds correct

Ha yep just dunno how to change it around! Must he a way!

Right I'm bloody loving this unit! Have my Spotify built right in there now with all my songs, got waze for my satnav and also an Internet radio app for every radio station I could ever want! Best thing I've ever bought for the car!

is there a way of adding a freeview tv to the satnav?
Reply
Sure is... It supports digital TV but you have to get a digital TV tuner which I'm not sure how much they are or where you get them from!

That's only for platforms up to s150 mate. The one I have is S160. Not something I'd personally be interested in either

Did you have to use the oceanofapk Spotify apk? The first Spotify apk I downloaded didn't work for me. Downloaded the oceans modded one and works perfect. Can't get Google maps working via the apk though. :(

That's odd... I just found a site where you pop in the official Google play url for the app you want and it downloaded it straight from their servers... That one worked

Use this site @marcus

Thanks and do you have a link to the actual product? Not sure which one the s100 is

I ordered the s100 only for the reseller to persuade me to get the s160 unit instead. Better screen, Android more flexible, better spec but you do not get the ipod interface if that's a deal breaker for you. The unit has 2 usb ports (one that connects to the usb port on the car itself if you have that option) and SD card. I didn't have the USB option in the car but Sheppy was kind enough to source me the housing for 20 quid on eBay. Works perfectly with this unit. I think you mentioned you were in Dublin? I got my unit delivered to parcel motel for 20 quid instead of the 55 quid international postage.

thanks for the advice and never thought of the parcel motel defo do that thanks again

Couple of pics of the free internet radio app I use:







It's called ifly

Obviously it needs a data connection but it barely uses any data which surprised me...less than 50mb in a week of testing on me phone...sure it will be the same on the head unit.

Magnet tape didn't work... Ha. Must be the type of metal the plates are made from... Didn't even cling to the plates in the slightest

i have an idea, instead of adding deluxe badges, why not just add "+", so it would be elite+
i have my eye on the fiesta style+ badge, as i cant seeem to find just a +,
i did think of adding an s, so its elite s but s mens sporty so until you have a bodykit it would look weird
Reply
Hahaha I actually thought of just that! See I think I draw the line at adding badges for things that don't exist... Like mines an elite in my eyes as it's pretty well specced now and not many would spot that it isn't... But adding a plus badge would look daft as it's not a real thing lol

Not bad eh! Need new tyres soon anyway and I priced up the ones he has on those alloys and they're 120 each! Also they're 18s too so slight upgrade to my 17s

Just hope it doesn't ***** up the speedo too much
