USB/Media In Port failure/broken

Post by OOFAAFUU »

The usb/media port in the arm-rest of my 2015 GT tech has collapsed.

Spoke to the main dealers yesterday, it's only sold as the complete module @£175,rather than just being able to replace the internal media part.

Has anyone experienced something similar, or had one repaired?

Ebay would by my choice here. Second hand unit should be cheap enough, and easy to find in good condition.

Swapping over is a case of popping the old one out with two keys, disconnecting the two connectors and swapping the units over. Reckon it'll take you less than 2 minutes with the proper removal tools.

Sorted it out via a breaker on Ebay.

£35 delivered, plug an play, all sorted now but I'm wondering if I could get the USB socket replaced in the old unit.

Does the USB/Audio in unit come out of the larger casing?

Cheers
