Change cd400 to dvd800 or similar

[Alex Garbutt]

Hi - I'm a total newbie here so please bear with me if this question has been answered before. My 2011 1.8 (petrol) Insignia Exclusiv is fitted with the base CD400 system which I would like to change to a unit incorporating Bluetooth and SatNav. I've seen several second-hand 500 and 800 complete systems advertised on Ebay for around the £100 mark, So my question is this - are they a straight-forward swap within the ability of an average motorist, or are there hidden problems re compatibility etc. which would make the job too difficult. I'm loathe to go down the route of Chinese after-market Android systems as I've tried them in the past with very poor results. Thanking you in advance.

can be retrofitted,but very expensive,,and theyre not plug and play

Thanks fot that. I'm now thinking of fitting a Parrot MKi9200 and just using my TomTom sat nav - probably a cheaper and easier option.

Use your smart phone and use waze or google maps and then the parrot for streaming
