Does this retain the original mic, or is a secondary one required.

Have a 2017 T6 Caravelle that needs some upgrades and this looks good. Sound in it is shocking so expect speaker upgrade needed to get the most out of the change, but want to retain as much OEM as possible.

Speaking of the devil, yesterday I received an email that the SOS retation kit is going to be sent soon. I waited from October to receive it....

So what do I need to retain the usb-c?

 

[waneos]

I just received it today!

One question, do I need to connect this connector?



In the diagram that is coming with the kit, it is not connected.

That is a virtual dash , that is standard on Sportlines, Caravelles, and some are retrofitted.

Cost on head unit or with audio ?

Bit of advice please, I've just picked a new highline plenty of factory extras but less the discovery nav, bit odd for the spec of the van, can I upgrade the head unit ?,if so any recommendations

 

[Bav]

The Alpine Halo 9 or, if you're feeling really ballsy (and flush), the Alpine Halo 11.

 

[Tim Sparkes]

Alpine or Kenwood. @Absolut5 will help you out.

 

[cgtmiles]

Or if you can just use the standard HU as a monitor for CarPlay. I have discovery nav and only use it as a screen anyway

 

[AndyAK66]

Thanks Guys, Halo 9 seems an option are they easy to fit ?, or will I need to reprogram anything, my mates had real issues messing with his merc electrics

 

[Absolut5]

Nothing needs coding, using the correct parts makes the install a lot easier, by being plug and play, even uses the Oe mic,

Drop us a pm or call and il go through the whole process on installation etc

 

[AndyAK66]

Nice one thanks

Hi,

I'm looking for a new head unit to replace the original which is now faulty. Any recommendations?

I've looked at the RCD360+, Kenwood 5020dabs and the ones moody ysm sells. Has anyone any experience with these units?

So looking around the £300 mark but I would stretch to around £500 for a good product. Bluetooth, android auto and compatible with park pilot are a must. Ideally dab and nav would be built in but not a necessity.
