That has its own built in Satnav, though surely. So it will need a GPS antenna. Notwithstanding what the guys at Aston have said, there appears to be no method of trans GPS data to the phone and Carplay is *just* a video display of what the phone is doing. All the built in Carplay units are doing is effectively giving up control of the screen to the phone. So when in Carplay it's all phone.

Apple tend to be really hot on Apps which don't follow their rules (we know this as one of our Apps takes months to get into the App store every time we try to do a new version) so I would be very surprised (with my current knowledge) if there wasn't something *else* wrong with that 'AstonNIT' that was causing issues, but........

...I've been wrong before ;)

It's certainly a NIT issue (a nissue), seemingly related to the NIT getting lost and then communicating its ignorance to the mirrored CarPlay display.

A replacement NIT made the issue go away. A replacement GPS antenna did not. A new phone did not. Rerunning some wiring also didn't. It was, predictably, the most expensive bit that had shat itself. Albeit in a small but smelly way.

Coming September with capacitive touchscreen, HD backup camera with custom designed mount, bending lines and HDMI to the screen so best quality, full steering wheel controls.

I have the kit at work just need to find time to test fit it to my car and order it all.

Only today I plugged my iPhone in to the GT, turned on Waze and my favourite music (apart from the X-pipe) and went on my way thinking… this is brilliant for an ‘old car’

Yes I have the new kit, it’s gone up £200 and the custom mount for the rear camera did not happen. I have it running in my car and am midway through fitting the first one to a customer car.
Can you pm the price fitted please
