Ps im an idiot, on closer inspection the box in my sat nav cupboard turned out to be a box for my hands free phone!

 

If like me your not interested in the satnav and just want the screen to operate your phone, stereo and climate its a much cheaper and easier install....apparently.

 

I understand you just need to buy a modification to your existing wiring loom.

 

Does anybody know of a site where these looms can be purchased or a site with details of how the loom needs to be modified so i can get one made?

I might be way too late for this repl, and by my own admission I havn't read ALL the replies, but maybe I could mention something here that might help.

 

I have a 53 plate x-type 3.0 petrol with the sat nav screen. I, however, wasnt too enamoured with the sat nav and tried to find ways of using my phone, an Android, to transmit the pictures from phone to screen...ANYWAY...

 

A company local to me specialise in all kinds of audio upgrades and car electrics. The company is called Absolute Audio of Amesbury in Wiltshire. They put me in touch with a company called Navtv heres the web address http://www.nav.tv/ They might be a good company to chat to.

 

As far as my quest was concerned I could do what I want to do but I would need to change my Nexus 6 phone to a Samsung Sx at least one with the tv option in the settings. The Jag kit from the above company is around £300 and fitting using Absolute Audio somewhere near £100. Didnt get it done as I like my Nexus!!
