Would the controls work for music players such as Spotify do you know? The great thing about this is, you could drive up to your house, it connects to the wifi and updates your music collection automatically. Do you have a PAYG sim in it for data while driving? (Traffic, updates etc)
Yes, the controls would work with Spotify. It's a question of whether the app supports the commands or not, and I believe Spotify does.

When it's done, I am probably going to simply get an additional sim-only contract. I can use the same tasker application to set up a call divert from my usual phone to the Z4 number every time I get in the car, and remove the divert when I leave. If I permanently block the caller ID, I can use it to dial people without them getting confused and thinking I have a new number.

TBH, I talk a lot on the phone in my daily car, but not in the Z - so that should suffice.

Hi guys.

How could you get that display? I'm in Europe, and seems pretty f***ing expensive to get one.
Anyway I'm an electrical engineer so I could easily hook up everything together (even wheel buttons, parking sensors, etc), but the main thing is missing, the display.

Anyone of you has a good source of that by any chance? :)

Thanks!
