My car is really basic 1.2S, so currently no Bluetooth, iPod connections, no aux, no rear sensors or cameras

I'll be installing a single din stereo behind the iPad. The ipad will connect to it via USB. The stereo can be cortolled via the ipad, and will have Bluetooth for hands free calling. That's the plan anyways :D

Still working on it, very time consuming. Still sanding and using knifers putty. Planning on using plastidip for final finish.

Ordered a sony head unit picking it up from store on Friday.

Trial fit today. Few issues with the HU wiring, turns out there is no ignition switched live on the existing loom, need to run one from the fuse box. Antenna didn't fit so have ordered an adaptor for it.

On the upside the app remote does work very well. Just need to final coat the fascia, not liking the yellow look lol
