Audiotec Fisher is our go to for DSP and Amplifiers. Truly magnificent German kit

Reading up on it a bit. I see what you mean. Its where you draw a line is the difficult bit

Doing a 60 day trial on Tidal and at £10.99 why wouldn't I to get access to Hi-res music.

Anybody know if my assumption is wrong. if i play Tidal through Apple Carplay I will not get MQA max streaming quality. I need to remove Spotify and Tidal from Carplay, play Tidal direct on the Halo11 and use the dedicated map icon on the headunit to gain quick access to Google maps via Carplay when my Iphone is usb connected.

If i am correct then having Tidal on the Halo 11 means you get a better sound but lose the benefit of map and music integrated via Carplay wireless.

Ergo: if i dont know where i am going settle for less quality audio and if i know where i am going MQA everytime

Liking TIDAL on the Halo 11 but through use of the wifi and iphone hotspot set it is not as stable as TIDAL through Carplay at the reduced quality. Anybody share my experience and have found some hacks?

both routes feed off the same signal but the inference is that either the IOS hotspot processing or HALO 11 wifi processing are sub optimal in performance. The wifi connection takes longer than the Carplay connection

You need the following, on top of what you already have

twin fm phantom aerial adapter
dab aerial adapter
dash usb retention kit

if you have factory parking sensors, then you need a different interface to display them

Now you you made me realise I must have the wrong interface as well. In the black Friday sales I got a halo 9 at a very good discount with the connect 2 fitting kit. Went to look to install it today and was blown away with how many extra wires and adaptors needed.

So looks like I'm going to need a USB retention for my T6 it's also the one with the 3.5mm jack above the USB.

Then I need my rear parking sensors to be able to work so guessing I need to buy another fitting kit

Lastly how do i know if my van had a built in GPS antenna or if I need to fit the alpine one.
