Took the plunge & bought our first 2010 T5 Cali yesterday, looking at trying to keep it as original as possible. Would be grateful of any advice for essentials & must haves as we start to kit it out, ready for the maiden voyage towards the end of the month

Have thought about replacing the head unit with a new modern Apple Play/Sat Nav headset, are there any out there that are recommended for this model?

Looking forward to the new adventures

You might find some inspiration from following California Time on YouTube. Loads of really informative videos full of ideas.
