Ah ha!

Well Im sure  FW1100 didn't have the voice control option so when you fit your 729B BT then make sure you get the voice control enabled wiring loom.

Also you'll get full 7 digit postcode entry which for some reason was never standard issue!!!  :stupid:

Apart from that I'm not sure as I'v only ever run FW2760 and V7 maps!! I'm sure Darren could tell you though  :happy2:

Oh and I think being able to use SDHC cards wasn't available on FW1100.............

As mentioned you can have voice control as long as your not using 1300, 7 digit postcode support with V7 maps still only 4-5 digit with v6 maps. not a feature but the unit will respond alot quicker to touch no more lag and will start up quicker I was suprised by the marked improvement in performance.

You can also now turn the screen off (unfortunately not the back lighting) have a clock display on screen.

cornering fog lights requires 30 byte CECM central electronic control module which would have been standard on later cars.
