Here's a video of the T7019A in my car. The iPod issues I had in the vid was because I didn't have my iPod connected!

This is the one @2forme used and it worked [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-2-4GHz-Bluetooth-Adapter-Notebook/dp/B000LY58QQ/"]Amazon.com: Wireless USB 2.4GHz Bluetooth 2.0 Dongle Adapter for PC Laptop Notebook: Computers & Accessories[/ame]

I also have two similar to the above that I believe are compatible too. Didn't need them as my other one arrived first. They were so cheap I ordered from three different suppliers to see which one arrived first.

PM me your postal address and I can send one airmail to you for no charge if you want.

You have changed the launcher? The principal icons on right side are sympathic.
For mine, if I switch off with the left button it is impossible to restart.
I'm now in my office and will try this evening in reseting but it is not the real solution.Don't understand the problem as on the desk everything were well funtionning and although numerous install and uninstall softwares for trying never encountered any blockage.

I'm using this. Turns on when I start the car and auto connect to the head unit via WiFi. Works a treat, hoping it will be able to run a Kogan SIM card

Brittany comes with the head unit!!!! Along with s club 7!!! Was very shocked when I got it, but am now bopping along to those songs as one day my modem wasn't working, the iPod wasn't plugged in and the radio didn't have an antenna, thankfully that's all fixed now

Was going to use a tripod and proper camera, but ran out of time, so sorry it got a bit blurry

Technically you're connecting via wifi (served by your 3G modem). I've got that working great by using my 4G phone as a hotspot.

What I'm trying to do is plug a 3G modem into the usb port. That way I won't have to turn on wifi sharing on my phone each time I get into the car. Yeah, 2 button presses, but I'm lazy.

I've tried the modem that came with the unit and also one I bought from Kogan. No go on either.

I just get the feeling I'm missing something really simple.

@nzer

try with tester to verify if voltage is there on wire @ ignition.
Simply you can test with a bulb: if it lights on ignition it's OK, if not, try another wire under 12v ignition.
Some antennas need only a +12v under "key", sometimes a power control is useful only if is there a separate circuit under voltage also (ampli). PControl is merely a "+" switch only (startup).

Yeah, tot of using 3G auto connection too... wifi is superb but 2 clicks everytime is just too labour intensive! =)

Anyway, 3G rates in Oz is a rip off... so im stuck with wifi through phone hotspot... for those in Oz using 3G.. any good deals?

I've got a Kogan SIM, one of their 3G modems and have signed up for the $10/month 2gig plan.

Haven't been able to get any data from it yet though.
