Hi Folks,
Some of you may remember me from last year where we were having issues with the head unit in the missus' 2014 500L. Since then it has given up the ghost altogether, no longer powers on. I feel rotten for her as the car hasn't had a working audio system for the last 2 years. So I would like to replace this duff unit with a working replacement be it new or used. She wants to keep it OEM, even though there are better android alternatives out there.
I've been looking online and there are a couple of used ones for sale on eBay but they are around £400, which I feel is a bit steep. I would consider it if they were brand new. Does anyone have another source for where these can be bought, hopefully at a more reasonable cost?
Also I had the idea of trying to find a head unit from a different model such as a 500 or Panda (scrap 500L's seem to be hard to find), but I've been informed from and audio repair tech that the connectors are different in these models. Can someone confirm if that's the case right enough?
