Phil recommended the kenwood DNX 5190DBS as I desperately needed a good satnav, Bluetooth and hands free calls. As I was there I enquired regarding a remote smart top for my convertible. My car now feels like a 2020 model. So much better than what I was going to get at Halfords. No messy fittings and honestly it looks like it is a factory instalment. Thank you so much I absolutely love my new car!! Highly recommend anyone who wishes to upgrade their In car entertainment systems to visit Communicar 1st, and if you have a convertible you must have the smart top installed by Phil.
