Danny you could get a second hand unit, or a combox both would need to be coded but shouldn't cost anywhere near £700.
I have a combox that I'm hoping to get installed this weekend. If it happens I should have a bluetooth module for sale next week.

Get a good quality bluetooth receiver from amazon (£20) and plug it to your AUX. It works for both calls and music.
Had mine for few years now and I am extremely happy with it, I never used the car's one (it works for calls only )

Hi benv6,
Can I ask which receiver did you opt for and can you control your music via the steering wheel controls?
Cheers, Colin.

Hi Colin,
You can still control the volume from the steering wheel, there are some controls on the BT unit though which makes it easier.
Link for the unit is here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Rece ... +bluetooth

Hey guys,
Do you know if we're able to change the song using the arrow buttons on the steering wheel (on the right hand side) with this Bluetooth aux adapter?
Thanks, nathan
