I am also interested in the cargpsnet unit described by afcwben. It sounds great. However, I would feel better about it if Ben just hadn't joined in April. He had provided no information about himself execpt to say he has an SL55. Now why would he just pop up on this forum to let us know how great the cargpsnet unit is? hmm.....

afcwben

What information do you need? But what makes me la I have had another person who wanted to contact the company who installed it for me and I sent the details. They can independently verify that it has been installed in this country. The installer is independent who spent over a day installing this system. Others will benefit from this as I have been willing to be the "guinea pig". I just thought I would share my experience with those who want it, and those who don't? I couldnt care less. But hey don't buy it

Looks like a nice unit, did you buy from the states or the UK? If the states does the radio pickup stations ok?

Unit was bought from china trying to sort out radio at moment as sometimes reception is good somerimes not. That so far is the only issue

Well maybe i can help - i have been a member for 8 years and several sl's. I did the install and here is the thread for the result - Love the unit - Radio reception not great but i use XM and stream pandora/iheart radio only anyway! Bluetooth works well.

Hi nir, I still want to find some time to go take a look at yours. btw, is the bluetooth built into the unit, or did your car have the factory phone?

cfi_luz

Does this unit support XM directly or do you just feed it in through one of the audio ports and have to control your XM channel selection through an add-on box?

nir

No mine had no phone - built in. pleasure to meet you anytime, let me know.

nir

Mine came with an XM old alpine built into the ashtray with lifetime connection, so i I had them connect it to the AUX - works well, but the sound is not CD quality.

For those that are interested, this part came in today, and I held it up to the radio. Definitely is the right part to install an aftermarket Double Din in our cars. The Black is a tad different then the black on the front of the cupholders. When My installer removes the old one, and puts this one in actual place, we will decide if we want to use that special plastic adhesive paint that they use to match it better or not.

I think it may be ok as is though. I will keep everyone posted.
