Anyone in West Yorkshire got a trim removal set

So thinking of getting apple car play retro fitted into the F31 but I was wondering / hoping someone near Leeds has a trim removal set and a Torx driver I could use / someone help me remove the front to get to the head unit for beer tokens!

Apple car play retrofit doesn’t require any physical mods though does it!?

Did you not read the Yorkshire bit I'm tight as owt I'd rather spend £10 on beer than a tool I'd literally use once seems a waste if someone has some laying around.

It would seem it needs an ariel being installed which needs to be plugged into the back of the head unit and then it should work. Had my car vin checked and doesn't have it

Yeh, I saw that.
Having lived and worked in Yorkshire, I do appreciate that the inhabitants of God's own county are amongst the meanest people to have walked God's own planet, but come on, it's a tenner

Plus £9 for the screw driver plus £120 for car play it adds up.

Here ya go, even a Yorkshireman can justify these...

Anyway, isn't it weird that you've balked at paying £10 for good quality tools yet you've happily bent over for Apple and let them rape you for overpriced communication equipment

Hahahaha so so true! To be fair being an apple fan I'll let them shaft me. And yes you're going to say why not get it from the start and it was purely because it was expensive and didn't have as many good features as now e.g. Waze
