Ideally I wanted to have a "better" period unit in, with basic Sat Nav functionality (which I've had in an old Merc before so know its functionality reasonably well)
Agreed, the unit will be massively behind say a new MMI unit in my daily but its definitely got a retro charm (put it this way - I'm also on the hunt for a connected phone!!!)
Clearly if its going to be multiple hundreds to "make" it fit, then I agree, its not worth it. For the sake of an adaptor though I'd quite like to have it over the standard unit. As for sound, I was planning on changing the speakers inside the OEM mounts also - not a complete overhaul, just a slightly better sound and functionality (albeit still old!)
Any links to the convertor/adaptor? I've searched for MOST to non-MOST adaptor and got a plethora of results but no idea which one!
Might be time to visit a car-audio centre!
