[Britsud]

Hi , I have the above system fitted to my R8 with B&O RNSE It charges the phone but does not cut in to the TV channel all I get is blank screen . I did not receive a remote control when purchased the car is it just the case of the alpine interface may need the remote to switch it on .? The car was finance retrieve so got no remote . I have seen universal remotes for Alpine systems just need head up if this is all that's required
