Hello all,

I picked up my '06 Midnight Blue Vantage on Friday. Absolutely over the moon with it. The noise is phenomenal, even more so after pulling fuse 22.

Now I do have a few questions which I hope can be answered:

My car does not have the Bluetooth kit. On the rare occasion I decide I want to listen to something other than the engine, I would like to be able to stream Spotify to the car. What are the options, costs and installation methods to do so? Ultimately I'd like to get the Official AM upgrade however I can't justify spending £2k on such a novel thing on a car so early into ownership.

Also the drivers door has some quite significant bubbling/corrosion in multiple areas, see pics (also includes pics of the car). Do I have any chance of getting these under the 10 year corrosion warranty? There is damage to the paintwork on one of them so i presume not. If I get this done myself who is the preferred bodyshop? I presume this should cost around £350-400?

All help is much appreciated.

It doesn't unfortunately. Is there any aux ports hidden anywhere that I may have missed?

Thanks everyone for the replies! The car was a private purchase, it's going to HR Owen in Pangbourne on Wednesday for it's 140 point inspection and then hopefully a years warranty. I will enquire about the paintwork, however I've decided it needs sorted regardless of whether they will fund some or all. Any recommendations of bodyshops? I'm based in Newbury but anywhere on the route of Newbury to Cumbria would be suitable.

Just spoke with James from trackaphone, seems like he has a number of solutions with regard to the bluetooth. Now I just need to gather some funds!
