I just fitted a Parrot MKi9000 (the one with no display, just the small remote) and due to the wiring on mine, it streams the music from my phone into the head unit, rather than using the Parrot's own amp, so the sound quality is as good as the original radio/CD through the 10 speaker DSP system.
All done behind the headunit, no other disassembly required.

Does anyone know where I can buy the Dice Media bridge from? Not available on Amazon or am I looking for the wrong thing?

If I have the basic 6 speaker set up, and no sat nav screen, but I do have MFSW controls, what’s the best route for me to go down?

Your only bet is eBay. The product was taken over by a company called Audiovox but is apparently no longer available. The last firmware update (which I installed) was 2015 ! To be honest the technology is a bit long in the tooth and you would be entering a lottery buying one unless you had a guarantee of it working.jamesditchy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2017 10:57 amI'm having the same problem.

I had the same setup and installed a pioneer head unit and the steering wheel adapter works great.

I’m swaying towards an aftermarket head unit, do the steering wheel controls work the music on your iPhone music when playing? (Rewind/forward and skip etc?)

Honestly wish I'd bought a zed without nav as the aftermarket headunit is miles better than any of the workarounds

I have the connect2 adapter which I think is actually the same as the autoleads one but rebranded. I do have a slight intermittent issue with losing connection to the steering wheel controls.JINGLE wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2017 7:31 pmI’m swaying towards an aftermarket head unit, do the steering wheel controls work the music on your iPhone music when playing?

When it is working then yes I can change track on Spotify or another music app on my phone. I use the USB quite alot too. I have a 128gb stick with 50gb of music on it.
The steering control issue is annoying if it goes off but it's not difficult to skip track on the head unit buttons. The pioneer seems a good unit and was easy to install

Exactly my issue, maybe one for a different thread? I've found restarting the adapter fixes it, support can't figure it out and I'm on my second one, did get almost a full refund though and still have the product.
I plan to wire in a switch to enable turning it off and back on again, though it doesn't happen very often - when it does it's usually on a long journey!

The connects 2 just plugs in to the harness so I'm not sure how to reset it
