I'm still in between minds as the Bluetooth isn't great but it's a cheap fix and I don't want to change my MFD2 as I have it fully loaded with sat nav etc.

This is the XCarLink I had installed with the MFD2.
The CD changer connector is blue in the existing loom so when you unplug that it then gets plugged into the black socket on the XCarLink. You then plug the XCarLink blue connector into the original loom in the same place as the CD changer one was (they only go in 1 way). The spade connector at the bottom right then goes to a ground point to make the whole thing work (there's 1 on the back of the MFD2), really simple and doesn't require any cutting any wires as it just sits in-line.
Personally I wouldn't bother with the Bluetooth module from them if you have to be using the XCarLink for it to pick up the call as it kinda makes it a little redundant. I had the Bury kit installed before getting the XCarLink and that will work regardless of what's going on with the MFD2, it just mutes the MFD2 when a call comes in or you make one and uses the speakers in the car, obviously it's more wiring but worth it. I'll be getting selling both of mine once I get a Bluetooth module for the RNS510, just looking for the right module. Shoot me a PM if your interested :smiley:

Very helpful!
I'm only staying interested as I have code for 15% off and when you buy the whole kit it's cheaper but loads anyway so all in its only around £80 for the lot which I then need posted to Ireland.

That's not bad for the whole kit, I think I paid that for just the iPod module without the bluetooth!

I thought there was actually a problem online. Here's the breakdown
XCarLink - £78.25
Bluetooth - £40.68
Cable - £3.12
Should total £122.05 but when you add all 3 it comes up as £101.71 in the cart only.
Must be a package deal.
That with a 15% discount and I'm at £86
Apologies it's 10% off so I'm at £91

Ah, I think you'll find the product page on the site shows the price inc. VAT and then in the cart it shows exc. VAT for some reason, which isn't confusing at all :confused:
