Thats correct, its only the BOSE head unit as you have correctly identified that is the issue. BOSE speakers are just that.
Hi Matt - can you add me to the list please ? I will need to see if Paul will travel to the West Country to install it though as I know my levels of patience would be very quickly tested trying to do this myself...
Ah cr@p. I was just going to stick my name down too. Typical!Thats correct, its only the BOSE head unit as you have correctly identified that is the issue. BOSE speakers are just that.
Confirmed, this unit does not have the LDVS (video) lines in and out between the box and the screen as its one unit. Sorry.
Just rub out one of the starsOn a Strad, yes there is.
Mount on top of the chin spoiler left or right of the numberplate. You could do as I did and mount it in the flag of the plate itself:

Regretfully i’ll have to come off the list cos I’m not driving an automatic, I’m not driving an automatic, I’m not driving an automatic...Confirmed, this unit does not have the LDVS (video) lines in and out between the box and the screen as its one unit. Sorry.
Devonboy, could you help out here?Can you clarify a few points please?
Is the touch screen capacitive or resistive?
Can the factory Bluetooth microphone be used?
What happens when a phone call is received? Does it behave differently when in CarPlay and non-CarPlay mode?
Can a front camera be added that shows on the display when the parking sensor button is pressed? This would allow both front and rear to be functioning during parking.
Do the camera grid lines work?
Is drilling required to attach the camera(s)?
Can a front camera be added that shows on the display when the parking sensor button is pressed? This would allow both front and rear to be functioning during parking.
Front camera can be added yes but I don’t know if you can activate it with the front sensors. When reverse is engaged, the camera cuts in.
I’m assuming all the GranTurismos work the same way? Mine’s a 67 plate GranTurismo Sport.
Currently my iPhone connects via Bluetooth to the factory unit, when making or receiving a phone call the sound comes from the speakers and the factory microphone is used to transmit my voice. Does any of that change after installing the new kit?
Have you installed a second microphone, and if so, where?
Devonboy, could you help out here?
The touchscreen is capacitive, yes you have to drill a hole for the rear camera cable. You might be able to feed it in via the numberplate light if your concerned. Front camera can be added yes but I don’t know if you can activate it with the front sensors. When reverse is engaged, the camera cuts in. Camera grid lines work, what do you mean? They are fixed and don’t bend with the steering input. Factor mic is wired not Bluetooth as far as I was aware. There is no reason with some effort why you can’t wire to it.
