Here goes my attempt at using a translator, I hope this is understandable!

Vielen Dank an euch beide für die Antwort. Vorerst habe ich mich entschieden, beim Werksradio zu bleiben. Mein größtes Problem mit dem Werksradio ist das fleckige Bluetooth, aber ich habe das gelöst, indem ich einen Bluetooth-Adapter installiert habe, der an den AUX-Anschluss angeschlossen wird. Ich habe den AUX-Anschluss unter die Konsole verschoben und an seiner Stelle einen weiteren USB-Anschluss installiert. Der Adapter verbindet sich sofort mit meinem Telefon und startet meinen Musikstream sofort, ganz ohne Aussetzer. Ich bin jetzt sehr zufrieden mit meinem Setup! Und ja, beide USB-Anschlüsse sind funktionsfähig, da ich einen Y-Splitter mit Teilen von Amazon herstellen konnte. Nicht verwandt, aber ich habe auch den Stromanschluss entfernt und einen Kofferraumentriegelungsknopf von einem 2005er Pontiac G6 (für die rote Hintergrundbeleuchtung) eingebaut. Ich habe einen Gurt gemacht, hatte aber keine Zeit, ihn nach hinten und in den Kofferraum zu führen.

Hello all. While I don't mind the stock set up in my 2018 Cascada, I do like to have a larger screen to view maps, etc on. With that said, I am seriously debating buying a Tesla style head unit from AliExpress that I'll install myself.

My question is, for those here who have done that, do you have any regrets?

I did try one of these style head units in my 2011 Cadillac CTS several years ago. While it was nice enough, it was one of the really early versions that ran KitKat 4.4 and could not be upgraded. It was painfully slow, but with the help of a member of the XDA Forum (and a reasonable price), I had a custom ROM built that I flashed and made things better. I know these newer units should be faster, so my only real concern today is CAN bus compatibility, and will it properly interface with my Buick (can I set AC controls to Fahrenheit, will the time display without leading zero's, stuff like that).

BTW, this is the one I'm looking at: https://www.aliexpress.us/item…ayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

I really love the dual exhaust treatment this driver did, but I have a feeling it's not a straight up bumper replacement. Since I'm in the US, I am not familiar with the Astra J GTC OPC/VXR at all, and I can't tell from the pics I've looked at if the rear bumper is a direct replacement or not. Has anyone else updated the look of their Cascada to dual exhaust, or have any suggestions on the bumper swap?

Good info Santiagopc and something I failed to even think about! I guess I'll have to get a schematic and see if there is a breakout of the harness going to the LED's.

Hi all from the US! I love my new to me 2018 Buick Cascada Premium that I bought just last week. I've read through many posts here, but I cannot find anything related to disabling the DRL's (auto headlamps would be nice too!). Does anyone know if it's possible? I called my local Buick dealer and they claimed to not know anything, and a trip to a local repair shop also yielded no luck with the tool attached and viewing data. I know I can manually turn them off each time I start the car, but I would really rather have them off completely.
