2005 CL65 Radio Upgrade Options

Hello all,

I've done some searching on here, but was wondering if there was any official radio upgrade threads that I've missed?

I've seen a few links to aftermarket systems on here, but unless I missed it, I never saw where anyone has one?

I'm just looking to get some updated features like Bluetooth (for audio if possible), but definitely something that includes the ability to link an iPod or similar device and updated Navi with touchscreen.

Are there any really good "home run" solutions?

If I missed some threads, just point me in the right direction.

Not a lot of options. I added a Dennison Gateway 500SBT to my car which allows Bluetooth connection of my IPhone 5, but that is all. In the future I'll probably do a full system to get all the options we don't have, like a back up camera, better nav, etc.

Thanks for the heads up on that add-on module... I'm going to look into that.

The speed variable volume is driving me nuts, so I figured instead of clipping a wire that I'd try to just upgrade the whole thing. Unless there is a great upgrade option for the whole thing, it is nice to know there's something to tack-on.

Cheers!

You can code the speed variable volume to off using the workshop computer.

Oh that's awesome... Thanks so much...

I'm going to let my shop know and see if they can sort that out. Drives me nuts sometimes.

If you want to keep your OEM Command unit then Mobridge is the way to go, will give you Ipod integration, AUX support, Bluetooth streaming music and enable your factory phone options if you didn't have that option in your car
