If you aren't going to do the job yourself, why don't you simply find the workshop and settle with them if they can sell the "full package" at acceptable price or let you save by supplying the parts they indicate? If they don't know what it takes they shouldn't know what to do , if they insist you must buy the parts from them you take it or leave it.

Why not 65129270363?

Are you sure that defines the additional wiring pretty well? Also, routing throughout the car might be not especially easy/cheap to do.

So do you want DAB or just 65129270371 accommodation? There's some DAB Retrofit kit you might choose to consider.

Didn't they tell you so? You can query their (or others) technical reasoning for denial if you are going to solve it yourself or just look for those who can offer the retrofit and let them handle the details.

What's the need for a Combox? You are looking for Bluetooth audio streaming. If NBT does not provide the functionality it's a pure excess in your case.
