Hi guys,

Just wanted to share my experience with getting a new head unit for my 2009 1.6 Ibiza Sport. When I got it only had the basic CD/Radio (the antenna on the car didn't even work) and was desperate for an upgrade. I also wanted to use features such as Spotify and Maps off my mobile.

I used a company called Advanced In Car Technologies in Poole and got them to install the Alpine Halo 9 iLX-F903D which is a tablet style unit so looks factory like. It works with all the factory controls, it also has Bluetooth, DAB, Apple Carplay, and Android Auto.

You can watch a full demo of the unit in my car here:

Feel free to ask any questions if you have any as I've been running off it for a few weeks now.

How much fitted ?
Is it a blank behind ? Or is the old radio unit still fitted behind the new unit ?

Nice.
I've been considering upgrading the radio in my car for CarPlay / Maps integration..
Been feeling reluctant to spend several £££ on it though, even more now we're locked down!
