Hey, so been looking online on multiple places for a decent radio upgrade for the ol girl and this seem to be the only decent one around that comes with what I want and need. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated?

That's a bit expensive.

Have you tried Aliexpress?

Yeah I seen a few on there, some for cheaper some for about the same. I've then got to get car play dongles which total to about £250/£300 in the long run anyway. 

 

I found this one on Amazon for £189 then I'd have to get the car play dongle for this too. Amazon Android Radio

Just so unsure which one to set on at the moment, fed up of the ford standard so just want to get carplay! 

I thought you only needed the dongle if you wanted wireless carplay?

I think Carplay still works on USB connection?

I'm not 100% sure

Have a look at this for an idea, doesn't mention dongle needed

I'll take a gander, thanks mate!

I have tried AliExpress and finally got it worked! I paid around £160 and there was a little issue like odometer changed from miles to kms but I can live with that. 
Wireless CarPlay is just so convenient 🙂

That looks good

Would look a lot better close and lower TBH.

Ah mate that looks class! Paid about £183 for mine and bought a carplay adapter off aliexpress, hopefully all works well. Does the system run well and on the radio itself does it let you take traction control off etc? Just been a bit concerned how it allows all of that, thanks!

Fingers crossed! Make sure you get the right plugs and correct wiring harnesses. My radio works just fine but I’m not sure about taking the traction control off part 😕 

hope it goes well 🙂

Thanks bud. Got it all sorted, works like a charm although it’s a bit big but I can get past that😂 only things I can’t figure out are now to take traction control off and change the car back from km to miles as it’s changed it🥲
