I literally went for the exact one you linked. Right now I have the stock Uconnect 5 with sat nav (the small one not the tablet version). Tipo lounge 1.6 petrol automatic. Let's see, bought it through amazon so worst case scenario I'll just return it :)
So like mine. Mine is 17 plate just before adblue add on I believe to have fl wiring. Camera retention ( reverse) is pain in the arse for now to extent I want to maybe swap it for different one

How do you mean the camera reverse is a pain? Didn't you say it is working fine? You want to swap the camera or the radio? And I've got no idea about fl wiring, no clue what that is lol. I'm just hoping it will be plug&play and all is going to work :|
Mine is 17 plate as well.

Right so reversing camera use different interface. It works but previous radio software ( other ones I tried not last one) was disconnecting itself very often. Fl ( facelift) waiting slows you for upgrade to 7 inch version. It has 3 extra connectors. So back to the core of it, radio worked plug na play ( including steering wheel controls) but reversing camera was not very stable. It used small coaxial connector not chinch one provided with radios. That’s why I wanted standard chinch camera as it has power supply independent from signal connector.
 
No problem. Do you have MES? You my need to do proxy alligment after
I do have it although I have never done it before, I'm not really confident about this if I'm honest. Got this set of cables too.

Ok and is it multiplexed licence and 5.4? If not I’m in Bolton next Wednesday, pop in we’ll do it on mine

Dang... €342 for a multiplexed licence o.0 yeah don't have that. Also as tempting as it sounds I have at least 4h drive to Bolton :) I'll manage ;)

Ups sorry mixed up your location with other user…where about are you? I work across the country. If multiplexed is required we can use mine. May not be necessary
 
good luck. A lot depends on what are you upgrading from and your car config. Which one did you go for?
I'm tempted as well, with the one you linked. Not quite so easy for me to return if it doesn't work though, as my car is in South Africa! Like Pman, it's a 1.6 petrol automatic, a saloon version, with the standard little head unit with sat nav, but of course before I order one to take out to SA, I need to be sure it will all work, hence awaiting your and pman's reports!
 
You’ve got it easier as no start stop involved which is right pain in the arse to get voyage stabiliser working:) we’ll see. We are all in touch should be clear by end of next weekend

Just to add on I also have full set to upgrade to factory option with 7 inch tablet, shall I make comparison of both?
 
My car is new (well, built 2023, in Turkey) - would I need that little adapter cable too? And proxy alignment - wossat?
Mine need proxy. You also need security gate bypass as it’s after 2019, you’ll also need stabiliser as you have AGM battery not EFB.
 
So - sorry for the stupid questions - what is proxy? and security gate bypass, and stabiliser? I know it's English, but it might as well be Dutch, as I've not heard of any of this stuff before!
