I have the same car in estoril blue with factory Navi and dsp, what do you recommend if I want to keep factory for a while? Bluetooth retrofit? Aux retrofit? Screen replace? I also like to replace stock speaker with bsw speaker and subwoofer ( if I can find them) do you think I’ll hear improvements?
My speakers, subwoofer and amp are a set from DSW and were a significant improvement at the time. My suggestion would be to get a quote from a local audio shop for plug and play speaker for comparison. I used the Mediabridge with the Sirius add on for many years to get bluetooth, aux and connect my iPhone. However, based on the time it takes to install something like the Mediabridge and that it is very dated technology and has so many less features than the full replacement I would not take an interim step of any kind. I use navigation frequently and the state of the art navigation alone was worth the investment. The screen features you mention are lost unless you purchase the aftermarket IBUS.
