The CANbus interface will also provide a key present ignition, illumination, speed pulse, reverse gear and handbrake outputs. A key present ignition means the stereo will turn on with the first click of the key and stay on until the key is removed from the ignition barrel.

Note: No radio information will be shown on the original display in the car

Double DIN flush fit fascia (50-699)
