When we ordered the car I was assured that the stereo would be a Blaupunkt and that a remote would be available. When it was delivered we discovered that they had fitted the cheapest Alpine system available and naturally no remote was available. I was pretty peed off given the price I was charged was £300 plus VAT for an installed stereo that you could buy anywhere for about £80 VAT included but not installed. I complained bitterly about this and luckily had correspondence on file. Morgan kindly came to the party and supplied a higher level of Alpine with a remote. I noticed that from that point on they at least supplied a remote ready unit but I do not know if that is still the case.
