    Apple car play retro fit

    Well this came about when finally attempting to play music from my phone and use it as a satnav at the same time, which is possible but not as safe as not needing the phone fixed to the dash. Plus the cost of updating map pilot and subscribing to traffic updates, which is automatic and free...

    Windscreen washer top up on service
