Wanted better mapping so I went to Cartronics at Byfleet a first class outfit and really pleased with the end result I now have WAZE and my music all in one place using Apple CarPlay 8) .

Understear is when you hit the wall with the front of the car, and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Hi John,
Dare we ask, what was involved and how much did the upgrade cost? It's certainly something which I'm sure many of us would be tempted to copy. Mike.

Mike hope this helps all the co pilots out there The cost was £1690, the old system nothing changes it stays the same, there is a lead in the armrest to plug into the IPhone because my phone is quite large I took out the cup holder which I have never used to give me a larger space for the phone, two buttons I had placed in the ash tray one is to switch the Screen to Apple CarPlay the other is for the sound. Sequence is,
Plug IPhone in, start the car old screen comes up press mapping on screen then press button screen goes to CarPlay then press other button with tell tale light for sound.

The lads at Byfleet were so good and the installation was nice and neat. If in the future one wants to remove the system a new ash tray placed in the holder and everything is back to standard.
