So......after much research on the best way to remedy my lack of iDrive (other than getting idrive obviously haha) I finally decided on the much "Cost Effective" Pioneer SPH DA120. €395.00 for all that functionality was a no brainer.....or so it seemed

So this is her - very pretty



Really cool piece of kit mainly because of apple carplay - but you need a hell of alot of stuff to actually fit the thing with maximum functionality

Headunit €395.00
Steering and Mobile Control Adaptor €160.00
Double Din Fascia Plate
Patch Lead
Pioneer BC8 Reverse Camera €115.00
Apple HDMI conversion cable €55.00
Apple Lightning Cable €25.00
HDMI Cable €12.50
USB Extension Cable €7.99
Installation €130.00

So the grand total up and running €900.49

Ill let yas all know if its worth it haha
