Greetings from Finland
I've just taken the plunge and bought myself a 2010 QP S. Two things on my mind, I'll clear the quick one first and longer one second.
1. As a visual element I prefer the GTS style grille to the S one. Is it possible to fit a GTS grille on an S? Are the measurements the same? Not to give a false illusion to anyone but rather simply because it looks a lot better.
2. The infotainment. I'm very interested in upgrading the infotainment system and as far as I can tell the XCarLink one (https://www.xcarlink.co.uk/maserati...play-android-auto-retrofit-interface-kit.html) is pretty decent. I've seen some installations on various forums and it seems like it's a good system.
Obvioiusly it's quite pricey though and seeing as I'm very very new at this I wondered if people here would have long term usage experiences. The shop I contacted about installing the system told me to ask around if the system eg. has a tendency of triggering unrelated warning lights on the dash or other such things - as he said they've had experiences with aftermarket systems being installed that would cause unnecessary alarms and warning lights in some cases.
Are the instructions for install clear? Have people been satisfied long term with the system? Does it still hold up technically? I've seen that versions of this system have been around for quite a few years.
Thanks in advance for any help you could provide.
