Hi I have a problem installing I have half the car pulled apart and can't find any instructions to install this unit to a sat nav equipped model

Can't find where I'm supposed to plug the connector :s ???

Has anyone else used the cushieaudio.com.au install similar to xcarlink ???

hi mate, found it in the end basically you have to remove everything required for a normal non "nav" unit and .... now with the nav unit take it out (basically half way) so you can reach in the back ....
you also have to remove the air con vents also and top piece of the dash..

took a bit of fiddlign around but got the job done in the end.

very happy with bluetooth and ipod ... give the usb a try in the morning

No, only CDC and a track number that goes from 1-99 and keeps repeating itself......

doesnt mind me however have a quick look at the iphone if you dont know what song is playing :P

Believe me its a bludy good kit and im amazed i finally got an ipod usb and bluetooth connection in this car instead of having to wait for a (cu2) :P

It does take a few hours to install if you have a sat nav but its pretty simple !

highly recommended . It uses the original buttons on the stereo and steering wheel. It also has bluetooth streaming so i dont even have to plug the iphone adaptor in. Fully wireless !!!!!!!

Marked a bit of the interior though

but otherwise a very clean install !

How good is the bluetooth, can you hear the other person well and can they hear you well.
My blueant is S#!t, the other person on the line can never hear me.

Bluetooth is a must with the xcarlink! It's awesome.. The persons voice comes through the speakers and they can always hear me no problem. A definite purchase!

**rayd17** · 20-04-2011 12:08 PM

+1 , yes bluetooth is working fine !... i guess its not exactly going to be crystal crystal clear but its very near that !!!!!!

NPCan 2,.. did you buy a grom box or a carlinkx ???

How do you find the overall quality of bluetooth and also the sound playback quality?

**npcan2** · 21-04-2011 03:01 PM

If you play music through bluetooth, the sound quality isn't great. It sounds like radio quality. I have only used it a handful of times.

But in regards to answering calls, the sound is more than sufficient!
