Yes. All connected fine but it will not search the contacts. I can scroll through but when I select A-Z search it does not narrow the contacts down even when exact input is keyed in.

It’s not been updated since 2011

I think 2015 was the last update..I have that version but not sure if it’s applicable to your car ?

Absolute star. Thank you.

It says no USB with software. I have a 2GB FAT32 clean drive with no folders only the .bin. Any ideas please?

I think you place the bin file in the root directory of the usb formatted fat 32 then plug it into the usb port in the centre

Fail in this I will assign my top six contacts to buttons.
