Hello new MX owner here

Hi, I Have recently become the owner of an 06/NC and want to upgrade the stereo console to bluetooth for my phone etc. maybe reversing camera.
Any reccomendations MX/ stereo fitters in Cleveland / Boro area

Hi David, welcome to the OC.

Can’t help with fitters in your neck of the woods but this came up a couple of days ago.

I’m a complete fan of the Kenwood DMX8020DABS unit which has all the facilities I needed DAB, FM, reversing camera, uses existing steering wheel switches, wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay and near enough unlimited music tracks from a USB stick. That was bought as an ex-demonstration model at a bargain price. I also purchased a DMX7722DABS (ex-demo also) which is a later but somewhat lower spec unit which only allows about 1600 music tracks per USB. It’s also slightly slower than the 8020 unit.
Really, fitting these units is a breeze if you’re handy with a set of spanners although I think you may need to purchase a facia fitting kit from Dynamic Sounds depending upon your existing radio outline.
It’s a pity that you’re so far from Norwich, otherwise I’d suggest you could drive down to me and we could do it in less than a day easily.

Hi David, welcome!

I just pulled the trigger on an ATOTO S8 Premium and I have ordered the facia kit that was recommended to me (from the linked post coconino posted).

Once it’s arrived I’ll let you know how it went - TBH fitting should be easy as pie, I’ve watched so many YouTube videos on it…it’s just that 10mm bolt that is gonna be tricky.
