2.2 suggests you have a facelift, telematics (factory fit) phone system loom is not likely to be installed. It would also be quite expensive as you would need a de-paired NCDC 2015, GID/CID and Telematics unit for the glovebox, with the loom. Looking at a fair amount of dosh for all that!

You'd be better off getting a bluetooth aftermarket kit  :y

oh you would also need the GSM Ariel loom, have to strip the head lining off and mount the 'bee-sting' Ariel!

Or a CCRT2007/8 with a CCRT display, and a bit of wiring...

No, that just a standard Estate ariel. The 'bee-sting' Ariel is found on salons, and is a very subby / short ariel for gsm

That would be more expensive than a 2013/5? Don't see many of them on ebay

I can smell something...  ...oh yes, BS :P

CCRT is likely to be cheaper option...  ...and a bit easier to fit.

Another member on here, IIRC, fitted a Motorola kit, hard-wired, that could be made to look factory fairly easily if you mounted it properly.

What radio do you have at the moment?

I have a Nokia CK7W bluetooth adapter hidden behind the glovebox which connects to my phone and works perfectly through the factory headunit.

There is an ideal location for CK-7W, cable tied in a box section just above the kick panel...

Ah, its not in the small metal box section I was thinking of then.

I also used a bit of thick, padded double sided tape to stop any rattles.
