Is there a head unit upgrade option yet?
Discussion
Just acquired another FFRR, a 55 plate Supercharged one to be exact, with the touch screen big button head unit that of course feels woefully out of date!
When I last had one of these there was no upgrade route for this - has that changed yet or am I still stuck with the original? If so does anyone know if there is an after market bit of kit to allow Bluetooth streaming etc?
All advice much appreciated!

Done any research your self?
It is possible to fit Eirsin (SP?) X5 Android head units but a bit of cutting and shutting is required.
Only on the pre 06MY cars with the BMW based OE system. In my old 4.4 FFRR I had a 10" Android head unit which is super easy on these earlier cars and only requires a front/rear amp interface cable running to the original amp/DSP. The problem on the later cars is that the head unit integrates a lot of 4X4 system and body control display functionality into the unit itself and replacing it then looses this functionality, in addition the control of the amps, rear seat entertainment etc. also needs integrating as this is all switched from the OE head unit touchscreen. It is possible to fit Eirsin (SP?) X5 Android head units but a bit of cutting and shutting is required.
It's all do-able via a CAN interface and an Android app, it's just if someone has gone to the trouble of doing it as I'm certainly not getting into that
