ALPS Electric BT/WLAN Combo Module Experiment

[r3vsEngIT]

i have a 2017 volvo that i upgraded the stereo in but the week link now is the SBC codec the head unit uses to transmit audio. i took the unit apart and we have a UGKZ2 combo module with a CSR8311 bt chip. after some research it is my understanding that ALPS made another combo module that used the CSR8350 chip. this chip is capable of aptx. https://vehicle-electronics.biz/cont...s-alps-modules

my question is, would it be possible to swap out this UGX module as plug n play? what about replacing the CSR chip itself? any idea where to get either?

they are probably on aliexpress,
but get the datasheets and compare pinouts and software compatability.

i've looked there and all over the internet for the past two days. the information on these ALPS modules is very scarce. using FCCid i have pieced together bits of information from similar modules but i cannot find any of these UGX modules for sale. i cannot even find the CSR8350 chip they are talking about in this article. it's odd.
