Ok it's here and connected and is bloody great! Works straight out of the box and streaming Tunein Radio (DAB), Spotify/Amazon Music and iphone music without any issues. In fact the sound quality seems better than my music I saved to the hard drive of the car! Great bit of kit smile
Hi

Which one worked please? The US one or the one that says its for VW, Merc etc?

Cheers

Rich
This is the one I ordered from the US and now available in the UK (Was out of stock when I ordered mine frown )

You're welcome chaps - enjoy smile

I also had one of these fitted my car and it's the best thing ever!

I now have three options 1) Exhaust Valves always open 2) Valves as standard open when you step on it 3) valves always closed for track use with sound restrictions.

A small remote in the car allows you to open and close valves at will and the car now sounds bloody amazing when the valves are open with a nice burble on the over run! I came out of a Maserati GTS MC shift and really missed the exhaust sound of my old car but now this is all sorted hehe

The car now sounds as a Ferrari should smile

Just wanted to add - the phone must be paired with the gadget and not the car to stream music. The system gets a bit confused if you pair to both the car and the gadget so when I want music I don't pair my phone to the car and when I want the phone on BT I don't pair the phone to the gadget - hope this makes sense!

Wait - so you can't have both phone and music streaming?

Which means that you have to have two devices in the cabin, like an iPod bluetoothed to the device and a phone bluetoothed to the car to have both?

And a mannetino and the 458 $hit windscreen wiper controls?

A recipe for a fireball.

Must think this one through again.

That's how it is on my car. I can pair the phone to the car and the device however if I make or receive a call then the device needs to be manually reconnected via settings/bluetooth via the phone. There are however reports on the US forums that people have managed to have both functions work together and there are also some who have been unable to make the device work at all! I think it depends on model/year of car and the firmware of the infotainment systems on the car.

You are most welcome! I unpaired my phone to the car and paired it again! It now works just like it should with both the gadget and car!

My car will play spotify tunes through the app on my iphone and plug straight into the car via the cable provided with the 458 spider and you can control the songs via the steering wheel

Finally reunited with 458 and after a suitable nailing her with 5/5 for a bit (what is that - think led's) I tried the gadget - variable but generally super. Connect device, connect by Bluetooth and you have phone and Spotify steaming - with steering wheel controls working. And since I have the factory JBL upgrade, it's awesome. Cool and brilliant and - with wife in car button pressed, when you want music and don't need to concentrate to avoid dying - awesome. Thank you to the poster above who suggested it.

Small niggle? Sometimes the screen doesn't give you a song name but hey, that's like a pimple on Angelina Jolie.

Why would one order from Alibaba when it's available on Amazon and ebay?

How are you guys getting on with this? Mine is a bit glitchy. Sometimes I have to unplug it and plug it back in and I think it seems better with downloaded playlists. It's just a little unreliable and frustrating.

Mine needs to be unplugged at times but since I have had it probably only 3-4 times at max. Other than that it's been brilliant and does what it is meant to.

I am using it with an Iphone 6.

Thanks - I'm using a 6+ so should be the same. Oh well. FWP. My other FWP is that i have the JBL system but I can't persuade the hard drive to accept downloaded hi-res/hd music.
