General New radio

[pman11]

IF you don’t have factory satnav that’s fine, as that kit doesn’t work with lounge models due to different can setup therfore you’re stuck with Chinese ones…

Sorry for going off topic but do you happen to know if there is a way to upgrade the headunit on the Lounge model? Mine has got satnav and other bells and whistles and I am looking to replace it but all I can find about it is that regular units won't work in my car... Cheers!

Im in the same boat just lack time. Chinese radios work but not brilliant. Trying to find one that’s acceptable

Hello! This is of interest to me as I am thinking of buying a 2018 Tipo estate. It's fairly cheap, and, I am a cheapskate!

Anyway, the car has the little screen and I would like to upgrade it to a bigger screen. Reading your tales on here, puts me off a bit. I did have success when I used "Incartec" stuff when fitting different DAB stereos to Saab 9-5's a while ago. Other firms advertised equivilants that didn't work. I am NOT a car wiring type of chap BTW!!

What might put me off if Tipo's are as awkward as 9-5's when it comes to ICE new stuff, I might wait for a cheap later Tipo to turn up for sale....

The 9-5 radio cost whatever they cost, then you have to add probably nearly as much again for fitting looms, SWC control boxes, aerials, fitting surround frames , interfaces, patch leads etc..

Enough of me wobbling on. Hope this might help someone!
