Hi Everyone,
This may have been asked before, however I couldn't find a thread which answered my question so I thought it would be worth starting another (I found some which related to my question, but didn't fully answer it).
I want to change my standard head unit to a nice double din touch screen, however I wasn't sure if I can actually do this for several reasons:
1) As the car has the weird plug-in sat nav on top, will this still work? I know the sat nav and standard head unit work through each other, so if I change the head unit will this screw up the sat nav? I don't mind if the bluetooth doesn't use the sat nav because I would buy a new head unit with bluetooth, but I do like to use the sat nav to view the car stats (such as the coolant temperature etc as there isn't a dial for that around the speedo).
2) Can I connect the new head unit to the cars microphones so that if I get a phone call, I can still answer and speak through the car?
3) Is it likely that the stalk will still be able to control the stereo (assuming I buy a stalk compatible head unit and wiring loom)?
4) I know I need to get the replacement panel to move the hazards etc to the gearstick, but do the replacement panels and wiring looms work properly?
I've watching the Zenec-Z video (youtube .com/watch?v=LFIWR7JXEsY [sorry, I can't post links apparently...]) but just wanted to make sure I'm right about my questions...
Thanks in advance everyone!
