    Nice work Nick.

    Was the wiring hard to do?

      Thanks

      Not at all it’s all a straight swap. Hardest part was removing the heater control panel that took some pulling but quite intuitive when it comes to it.

            Disagree AA looks cleaner and updates at set intervals as your driving and everything swipes like an Android phone.

            But suppose that's the idea, needs to look similar to your phone . I wouldn't be happy if car looked apple like with my android phone .

                Its great, i rarely drive the car without my phone plugged in to use it. If i'm listening to the radio i can change station with the buttons on the steering wheel if required.

                  Yeah I had AA it was alot better than standard nav. Just the layout could have been better.

                    Nav terms i use Apple Maps as it ties very nicely into my calendar so picks up addresses from there or the significant locations that the phone tracks. In a morning it will pop up asking me if i want directions to work so i can just click ok and vice versa when i get in to come home. Only time it may differ in a morning is if i've got an entry to drop my daughter off at nursery or grandparents and on a Thursday drop the dog off at doggy day care and if thats the case it will offer me directions to those places instead. Also anything else in my calendar will pop up automatically at the appropriate time if i get in the car and open apple maps. I have access to Google Maps as well but rarely used it and tried Waze but the CarPlay screen is horrible so i've deleted it.

                    I generally use Siri to make phone calls or read\send texts as well as entering places for the sat nav if i'm already moving and 99% of the time it works fine. Can also access my music and the TuneIn app should i need to.

                          • More bits ordered before the re re remap not stutter there 3 times a charm. So it’s getting a 4 bar map and an 80mm maf going on! These things are up grades in preparation for a larger mod later on this year. I will gain with these sensors as more air = more bang and the map can read a higher pressure! Figure should increase dramatically

                            • Was there any reason why you replaced the solinode? A performance issue? I was told after my car was remapped if that I had any performance issues to replace this first.

                              Also who did you get to reprogram the hmi and radio module?

                              Thank you.

                                I had issues with an error code, pointed to that or the MAP sensor changed both, uprated the MAP to 4bar. There’s a guy on here called Dean aka plasma on the forum that does it. He’s done my speedo yet to put it in.
