My RR is a Vogue build date Jan 2005 with the touchscreen head unit, I've hunted through the forums and am now confused, it's probably an age thing... but I'm reading I can't upgrade the ICE without a massive rip out and overhaul, is this correct? Current:

Yes, you have the MOST system. Very difficult to integrate after market kit . Much easier on the earlier non touchscreen canbus systems. However, search the forums for what people have done... .

Thought as much, looks like I'm stuck with my Bluetooth speaker on the dash then to stream my music through for a while then... 🤔 Current:

Not necessarily. Does your car have either the iPod connector (in the centre cubby) or an aux audio mini-jack?

In which case you can look for a Bovee (or similar) Bluetooth adaptor to integrate your phone with the car. The WMA1000 is the model that interfaces to the iPod connector, not sure which model has the mini-jack out but easy to find out.
