Ok, done for the time being, all working ok, the eagle eyed amongst you will notice that the facsia adaptor isn't the same colour as the dashboard, when it arrived i contacted the seller and said "the adaptor plate is fawn coloured, not grey, as in the photo" he said "that's the only one we do", so i said "well why is the one in the photo grey?" i'm still waiting a reply !
As Bob said, the splitter didn't work so well, when on the road, so i used the magnetic one that came with the head unit, i will possibly fit a screen mounted one late

I have tried the type of aerial you suggested Mikey, but
this is the aerial i have used twice before (on a MGZT and a Saab 9-3) with fantastic results.
But aside from these problems, everything works well inc the bluetooth call facility built into the radio.
As an aside, my tailgate has stopped unlocking with the remote, so i have no way of getting in it, also my reversing sensors have stopped working, they sound a continuous bleep for a few seconds, then don't work, i know one may be faulty, but how do i get them out of the bumper ? Any advice would be appreciated.
