I replaced the ICE system in the old Astra G with a single Din Kenwood KDC 3054U Radio/CD player with a USB socket.
It is the USB facility which I use the most for playing my music from a memory stick, but I understand from the sales dept that the Astra J does not have a USB socket incorporated in the entertainment centre.

If sales are correct, can anyone advise the simplest way to convert the new car so it will have a USB socket? I was hoping that I could obtain a kit to convert the 2 din down to 1 din. I don't mind if I can't use the Kenwood, I just want usb connection.
Dynamic Sounds limited or Connects2 supply conversion kits from din 2 to din 1 but I can't ascertain whether they have exactly what I need for my model.

If it hasn't got USB it can be added Most dealers haven't got a clue what they are selling let alone what can be added.

Will the dealer do it and what would they charge, and would anyone else eg Halfrds do it, or could I d i y it? I don't mind d i y, I fitted a 2nd hand ECU and associated bits to the Astra G. Nerve wracking but it worked.
