Yes it is possible. Fitted an android unit to my t27 estate, best thing I have done, makes commuting so much better, plus sat nav is excellent

When I installed mine I had a couple of wires which were left unused. Is there not a wiring diagram provided with the kit? Best bet would be to plug and play now and see what you have working when you power up the new unit.

Go to the connects 2 website, they have most types of adapter for fitting. Your new unit should have provided an ISO harness

An external mic was included with my unit, quality is good aswell. it would depend if the plug for it is compatible with your new head unit. I'd guess at it not being but you never know

Search for trim tools on eBay, about £3, basically just orange plastic tools which I found very helpful in places particularly around the air vent area. I'll try put a pic on

Hi, They are correct, I have just replaced mine with an android unit. I removed side trim on both sides surrounding area by the sides of console, removed the black trim around the gear and storage area, the trim around the top air vents although not completely, you can partially remove it from the bottom to then remove black plastic trim around the radio. With that removed you can remove the radio by the 4 screws them pull the radio free. There are also 2 clips that hold the radio to the car, then it's a case of disconnecting the radio plugs. No need to remove gearknob and air con panel or glovebox or anything like that, only remove what you feel you need to remove if you know what I mean. Quite easy really

Yeah I have the tourer estate with standard unit. Just want something a bit more modern than what's in there plus dvd for kids on long journeys

Any suggestions for the unit itself?? Ideally dvd and sat nav and iPhone connectivity

I am looking at connects2 at the moment. The year ranges are so vague though. I don't know if I trust it if you know what I mean. Mine is a t27 (09-) looking for a unit where I can use swc and its all plug and play.

Hi, Has anybody got any success stories for fitting a plug and play aftermarket sat nav/dvd head unit?? On a t27 estate. I'm doing some research and am just after some clear cut information. Also I want to keep steering wheel functions Cheers

At the end of the day they are all roadworthy and I have had no problems stopping

White smoke is water, black smoke is carbon crap, blue smoke is oil. I wouldn't worry probs just some excess water from temp change, like condensation

Tyre is a tyre at the end of the day. All do the same job, save yourself some money and get on blackcircles. I bought cheapest tyres they had 2 years ago and they are still fine. Also I do 20,000 a year
