What you need to do is a really broad question..

Search, and if you ask specific questions, I will be more than happy to answer your question..

If you are expecting a DIY, you aint getting one soon.. :-)

[afalton]

Depending on your MY , you could have a MULF or a MULF2 for the USB/AUX..
MULF2 is compatible with CIC, so yes, you can use them to work with your CIC.. I have my doubts on the MULF..

I never went the packages as they were waay more expensive than you could get..

Eg: a combox on ebay os around 200, check how much is on the retrofit guys..

Scrooge the scrapyards, and ebay.. (Scrapyards are the best bet), and you would be surprised with the deals you get..

ah I see. thanks deepsrd
how would I know and what is a mulf/mulf2?

do u think id need the usb in the glovebox for updates?
if I manage to still use the usb/3.5mm jack?

thanks for all help

Hi Alex,

There should be a label on the side of the MULF in the boot which says what model it is.. (it should be MULF2HIGH for MULF2)
USB in glovebox updates only the maps, and is directly connected to CIC.
I did not bother to install it, and I do not miss it.. (You can update the maps via DVD, though it is a longer process )

hi deepsrd

ah ok, u wouldn't happen to know what side in the boot or if I have to remove trims to see it?
I see that's sounds good
thanks again!
this forum is wicked!

Has anyone had any work done by this gentlemen named below? I had a chat with him seems extremely knowledgeable on this subject. Huddersfield is quite a way from London, however if he is as good as he sounds I really don't mind travelling. I am looking for a very professional finish.
