Hey Folks - I really want to replace the original audio unit in my Vito. I want to be able to connect and play music through my phone. I am lead to believe I can take the fascia out and replace it with a more modern unit. No idea how or what to source…. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Any guidance, help, direction, link-ups gratefully received!!

Will be plug and play, up and running in 10 minutes.
It will BT to your phone in minutes, easy set up.
The in built microphones are sometimes lacking, for calls. I add one into the o/h light.
Adding the GPS functionality is as easy as siting the GPS antenna below your document tray, I now use google maps for that, as it picks up locations from my phone book (type such as An in search and the options are there).
You can site the wifi antenna in the same location.
Your phone can then become the hotspot to feed internet access on the hoof. With a good mic you can request your destination, or google your desires.
You can consider adding such as a reverse cam and dash cam later.
DAB+ isn't very difficult either, at £23 it's a reasonable thought.

You might find that the internal memory is a better way of storing your own music. In truth any more than 4 gig and it becomes difficult to find the albums your looking for in the long list.

The existing system already has an inbuilt microphone near the cab light so do you think I would correct in assuming that a new plug and play fascia would simply incorporate it?

Assuming this to be the original MB mic, it didn't work for me when I spliced it, I assume it's a different rating.
Others may know better.
Mine is a cheapo ebay mic, with an extension running up the A pillar to it.
