Sorry if this is a stupid question or I've missed it:

If you're using the Nav app on the screen, the instructions are coming through the car speakers.

I assume this therefore means you would be unable to listen to the radio whilst the Sat Nav is being used?
Nope. The Nav interrupts radio, CD, streaming etc as with any normal Sat Nav

That's excellent.

(I was thinking it may just be directing the phone audio permanently through the speakers)

Hi Nick

I have google earth sat nav on my Audi and it is really good.

Does this system need a data sim to make it work? I ask as my Audi needs one to make Google work effectively.

Already contacted them to look at cameras.

Don't suppose you know if fitting of these invalidates cars warranty?

Hi Tony,

I assume all phones now include data as standard but I'm sure James will clarify.

The cameras are superb yes

I really cant see how any of this kit could invalidate warranty. Don't forget James does loads of work for the main dealers as well.

Trust you are well smile

Hi Nick

Thanks, have asked James questions so hopefully all will be ok. Seem to recall someone talking of mods that could affect cam bus, or whatever it is. Just don't want to affect warranty but hopefully all will be ok.

Cameras are good, wish I had one as I wouldn't have smacked rear diffuser if you remember haha.

Am fine thanks.......busy holidaying since Jan15 but will be back to work when we get back from Colorado in April, just in time for the Easter break biglaugh

Will see you at Burghley?

Yes will be at Burghley with both cars as James is going to use the DB9 as his trade stand, I think.

Nick,

Thank you so much for helping with fielding of all the questions for the Sat Nav/HDMI upgrade. Also for the kind offer of the DB9 for Burghley.

After lurking in the background for a while, I thought I'd better make an appearance to offer any help/advice/info should people require it.

All the best,

James

This is good news on what you have done. However I would check out with Ed first on what your planning at Burghley out of courtesy , as there are alot of stipulations on this event.

That's not true. Mine locks in landscape, you just have to be in Landscape first.
I just put Spotify into landscape mode and unticked the Auto-Lock mode which straight away changed it to Portrait.

I'm using a Nexus 6 so using pure Android...

As someone earlier mentioned though you can get third party apps that will hopefully will override it so no biggy for me. But on my version of Android at least it won't "officially" do it.

Not at all. I agreed to be the Guinea Pig as I did years ago when I was one of the original adopters of James's DAB upgrade. The man is a genius when it comes to AM.
