[evo1986]

After some time waiting they have now come up with a solution for app connect to be retro fitted.

The total cost including vat and fitting is £213.40

It must be my age, but I fail to see why any of what this does in necessary.

Me too dubber36, and yes, it probably is an age thing. I'm of an age where I can remember buying a brand new car that didn't even have a bog standard LW/MW radio fitted as standard. I don't have App Connect in my current car and manage quite well without it. IMO there are enough distractions in modern day cars without adding more.
