Hi, Great resource here - keep up the good work. I'm looking to buy a 3MPS, 2010-2011 so a gen2. Much prefer the 3 over the focus st and astra vxr - plus neither of those get cruise or can fit a towbar (for a small trailer I have). Currently have a 2003 Astra 2.2 SRi so not worried about tax or mpg as they will be about the same. What are my options for music from my iPhone - do they have a USB port? Want to actually control the music rather than just a line in or streaming. Thanks

My 2013 3MPS has a good bluetooth link as standard that works with the iphone 5. It will play pause skip etc from steering wheel controls. No playlist display or playlist selection but mine had no USB socket so had to go down the bluetooth route.
In the center armrest theres a line in AUX standard socket and a 12v supply so i just put a 12v usb style charger in there and leave bluetooth on all the time. Works a treat.

Welcome to the forum mate!
I don't think you can fit a tow bar to an Mps tbh due to the fact it has twin exhausts.

Someone has on here has done it, but it may have been a 6. Try "tow bar" on search facility.
