Hello,

Many thanks.

The 90 is an XS, do you know if the Bluetooth is any good?

The 2015MY has the newer model head unit than I have in mine, the Bluetooth in my 110 isn't bad but is susceptible to picking up road noise.

Best to give it a try and see how you get on with it.

Anyone know the model number of the MY15 head unit? Hadn't realised it was a later model than the MT14 version. Trying to plan an ICE installation....

My MY15 is 90 XS and has bluetooth and is great, easily paired with Nexus 5 and can use phone, play music from Spotify etc.

No issues pairing with my Xperia Z, in fact it seems to connect faster than the unit in the Evoque we had previously. I've only used it to stream music, not had to make or receive any calls.
