Yeah the one they have sold since 2021 doesn’t need external mic. I haven’t actually bought it yet, it’s on preorder atm. Just done a lot of research haha
Bought and installed eng custom module couple of weeks ago.
Hardest bit was dismantling the panels and accessing the OEM module. Proper pain in the back, and I'm not a big guy.
All works well so far, as advertised.
I am really interested in pulling the trigger on this, but wondering which unit I should buy. I was looking at this one which was over £350 for long enough and is now down to £208

I have a 2017 Giulia 2.2 TD 189 Speciale, is there anything I need to know or check before I buy one of these and do they both just install at the footwell? it looks an easy enough DIY job, but I just don't want to buy the wrong thing.
The aliexpress one you have to pay import tax possibly. I highly reccomend the eng custom one because it is the only one that doesn't require addtional mic (it uses the oem one). It was £310 delivered, and if you need help they respond quickly on whatsapp.

Top tip: don't let a workshop do proxy alignment to your car if you have the CarPlay module connected or it may be ruined.
Mine was the Integrated Automotive one but as far as I've understood, the Eng-Custom one is quite similar at it's core. Anyway, the proxy alignment will not succeed if the module is connected, as the multimedia system will not be recognized. And in addition – at least in my case it happened – the Carplay module will be bricked aka rendered useless. It does not work anymore. After reconnecting everything as it came from the factory, the proxy alignment went well, but the module itself is dead for good (and stuck on my head unit with some very good double sided tape...).

I'm sure they would run the proxi alignment if you asked them. It's possible they'll just do it anyway if the odometer is flashing but I guess it depends on the dealer.

Has anybody bought the Limcet box discussed before? (which is this one) Thought I'd post this vid as the install instructions here must be pretty similar to most of these boxes. When your expensive box blows up, you can pick up one of these on the cheap

You gotta pay vat on aliexpress nowdays so that works out to be like £260, I'd rather pay the extra £50 and get the Eng custom one again, which doesn't need extra mic. And they respond to any questions on whatapps, also probably a headache to return to China if there's any problems.
