Thanks for the reply. Do you have any pics of the steering column mounted mic?

Managed to get the old mic checked today and it was faulty, so had it replaced and it works just fine now.
Therefore, probably not too location sensitive, just the fact that it didnt work!!

That’s good news, glad you got it sorted. 2011 TDV8 4.4 AB Bournville Brown

Gary, have a link to this unit, or better yet the most updated version?

To be aware obviously that the carplay is on a low resolution screen not much bigger than today's phones.

On my L322 I went for the screen replacement option:

That looks great!
