At the moment Corona Virus has stopped play. I’ll chase again

Is there any update on this? I am really keen to have a solution in my car by the summer but don't want to explore alternative solutions if this group buy is still going ahead.

Me too, late to the party, just discovered this thread. I'm interested too. Can it be shipped to Singapore?

I’ve not been able to get hold of Dale who installed the system in one of our stock cars. Does anyone know if android can easily be swapped over to Apple if the buyer is an Apple user? @conaero

It’s a dual dongle. Just swap the cable but you have to go back to the box to do it. Maybe some sort of converter on the bit that plugs into the phone?

My installs are mounted above the glove box, Paul’s are behind the centre consul but I think he leaves the dongle accessible from the passenger footwell if the cable needs changing. Chase it back.

Thanks @conaero I’ll have a look.

Just swap the cable. The dongle in mine was behind the centre console trim section in the passenger footwell.
I tried an Apple/Android converter on the cable - didn't work.

As the others stated it should just be the cable or the dongle that needs to be switched. If you switch the dongle you may have to download the software for the new dongle to get it to work.

For those whom have run into the same problem that I have just had, where there is no Aux input in the glovebox, this can be overcome by getting an inline FM Modulator. It does not broadcast on a frequency, it sits in the aerial cable and cuts any other aerial pickup, you will also need RCA male to male left and right cables to connect it the the Android box. I have not fitted it yet but Paul at Prestige says it will work in a previous post. Still not update on shipping of the new batch, sorry.


@conaero any news? I might consider this a winter project. Corona is still with us, so hope they found a way to still deliver.
