Kye Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hello all. Does anyone know if this unit can be swapped out for the Sony DAB audio unit easily at all? I'm looking at a Mk2.5 as a next car, but don't want the navigation unit. Everything else about the car is pretty much what I am after. The advert for it on autotrader is a bit dubious though. It quotes every option under the sun which I doubt you can get into a Titanium version. Thank you for the help :) Kye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kye Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hello. I know the car has the Nav system, but would like to know if it is replaceable for the Sony DAB unit. The car has bluetooth and Voice control in it as well. I presume these features would be external to the nav system? I'd like to know how doable it would be to swap the system and install the DAB ability, as well as make any other changes to make it all work. The car has 6 Speakers rather than the 8 that the DAB is normally fitted with. Would this cause an issue? Cheers Kye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Kye If you do get the dab in and sat nav out I might be interested in the old unit if its any good. Is it a touch screen one?

Kye Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hello, Lee. The car I was looking at has gone to someone else now. I don't know when I'll pick up a car now, but if it has a satnav in it, I shall let you know if you like? Cheers Kye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEADS Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Should be a straight plug an play swop and if it's a titanium I would say it's got all you need for dab I took mine out and put a zenec sat nav unit in plug and play so should say should go the other way as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
