Sounds like a plan.

 

Just to be clear then:

 

- They may need this connector: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334552676958

- The vehicle wire colours they are looking for are:

    SWC1 : Yellow & Black

    SWC2 : Red & Yellow

    GND: Brown & Yellow.

 

Good luck!

Thank you & Merry Christmas

 Well Done VIiv,

 

There is all kinds of stuff in the HU if you have the patience.

Thank you. Yes I've seen that am currently wrestling with DAB as the radio is pretty weak. Don't know much about Internet but it isn't finding that at moment either. As you say patience...lol

Not yet... I've left them liaising with seller of stereo to know exactly what cables need connecting to get reversing camera to work!

If the HU is OEM, I doubt you will get the internet from it, or anything other than Radio 2.

Bluetooth phone yes, but I never heard anything about the internet.

 

Although the HU will play DVDs, MDs, CDs (even 'remembers' them) I have a Laptop, specially for the van, which will connect to the internet virtually anywhere, plays DVDs etc.

 

Just a thought for you.

Ok thank you good to know.

Mine has a Pioneer EVO64-DAB installed in it, I assume professionally before I bought it and everything works (reversing cam, steering controls etc).

 

Completely down to how it's been wired up.  DAB is a bit of a funny one as the main route/least invasive means to getting it is a screen mounted foil antenna.  They are fine but they tend not to work that well in areas of poor coverage.  Mine works fine, but bizarrely despite living in a fairly built up area DAB reception outside my house isn't very good and so the radio doesn't work well at all when on my driveway, picking up stations only occasionally.  You can get roof mounted antennas which have a bit more gain and tend to work better but tends to resort in drilling into bodywork etc.
