It has a built in microphone which is working fine so far.

Does unit have TA? So when listening MP3 and radio station have some traffic info it automaticly switch to RADIO until radio station send signal to stop INFO channel and then switch to previous source? This is important function for me and hold me buy unit ...

Any update on fitting rear camera. How long did it take, how to etc? Very tempted to get one with the reversing camera

Anyone fitted the rear camera with pics? Xtrons suggested the cam 09 for the tt mk2 anyone have 1 fitted?

I have fitted the PB76ATTARP with the CAMATT002. I fitted it and found that i was getting an error of dead bulb, I also found that the camera was showing a lot of the lip of the boot.

I then raided my son's meccano set and made my own bracket for the camera and managed to slot it into the existing bulb housing. It now works really well and I am very happy with it.

You must use a relay to switch 12V onto the camera, you cannot just use the reversing light feed.

I also saw a similar camera on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Damark-TM-Reve ... Waterproof

This is an identical camera and costs less than £10. This comes with a bracket which I think would leave it proud of the boot lip.

I must point out that the reversing camera was fitted for my wife (definitely not for me)

Thanks Splashy any chance of some fitted pics?

Hi
Not been around for a while -sorry!

My wife is increasing pressure to get nav and bluetooth in the TTS.

Forgive my ignorance/stupity but how does nav aspect work? Is it within the unit or does it need to use google maps thru a phone?
Does it work with an iPhone 4S?

Thanks

I've got a new xtrons sitting waiting to be fitted but I'm a bit put off by all the loose wires with the little protective covers on the ends.

Do you need to use all the looms? I've got Bose and multifunction steering wheel and am not fitting a camera.

What's the minimum number of connections you need to make? Canbus, aerial, GPS aerial, aux in loom, usb loom? Amp connection. Anything else a must?

Hello dude.

What model stereo is that? I just got mine which is the PDAB71TTA and the connecting wires/looms are different! I have no idea about car radio installations but a local guy just quoted me £200 for installing this, so i want to understand these cables and try myself.




There's a big chunk of wires with two harnesses on - i assumed this is to make it easier for whoever may install it? But i can't see any amp cable? one of the harnesses fit my car cable fine, the other doesn't.


Then there's another wire set.. again, no amp cable.


I had a go at piecing the cables together and managed ok (if its right!). speaker male/female bits joined together, Canbus unit attached, but that's it.

Some basic guidance/advice would be hugely appreciated.

And this is my connection in my Audi TT (With Bose).

If its anything like most stereos, the cables will only fit where they are meant to, check and see if there are any small labels on the wires.

they're all labelled but only a single cable for amp. there's 2 blank cables with 'Key1' and 'Key2'.

Looking at the ISO harness that fits, it seems that there are some connections aren't in the same place as the car harness.

Was thinking of buying one of these units and wondered if anyone had bought the DAB dongle and what they think of it? DAB is a must have for me, and would like to know if anyone has any experience.

Thanks

Xtrons also do a head unit with DAB built in, which increases your options. However, it runs WinCE (pronounced "wince", for good reasons) not Android.
