That single unit I believe is the cellular radio, wifi (if fitted), media player, bluetooth, MMI head, jukebox, Navigation maps etc, 'the brain'

The crucial difference between the two main variants seems to be whether it has a sim slot (and thus online services) or not. With sim slot should have 1 extra coax cable on the rear that goes to the phone aerial I believe.

Seemed to be looking a little over £500 from German sellers when I last looked.

hhmmmm, quite tempting

...ish. CP will need removing before it works and may need coding

if its brand new there shouldnt be any CP should there, anyway not too worried about CP its only £24ish

New you're looking more like £3K for a new unit.....

Those prices were second hand.

Still, a bit of CP hassle is worthwhile given those savings +++

limoncello 12th May 2016 06:42 PM

oh ok, yep il take secondhand and some CP

update like that is very risky and very often end up with RSoD(red screen of death). many units been damaged like that.

Because there is a multiplier of X shoes / handbags (or cameras/ trips to Wembly- must watch the Equal Opps) = Y motors on the drive! ;)

Or in my case I drive You so I need a car to park on the street commuting to Leeds AND a toy... +++
