here are some pics of it in action.
and the switch to select the rear view cam.
Happy days!!!
can now get DAB radio in the car at a fraction of the cost!!
Hey people,
Have fitted my new DVB in car TV tuner to the HU this week. I have to say it was quite easy. I had the input on the HU so i thought i might get something to put on it. An in car TV!!!
Have to say its pretty sweet. I wanted a DAB radio in the car for ages but the alpine add on was about 300 quid. So i bought on off ebay and fitted it. I have put in a switch in the cubby to switch it on and off, so that it doesnt drain the battery when not in use for a while.
Picture quality is pretty good and reception is not too bad but i think i might get a booster and fit it in the rear window.
I have also fitted a switch in the cubby so i can use my rear camera permanently or when i put it into reverse. Its good to get the number plate of some div that is tailgating you.
I know these are silly little things but i thought i would share all the same.
I also have a nismo gear knob that was in a sorry state that i have brought back to life, will get pics up soon.

There is a ribbon cable in the HU. This causes the problem of only playing through one speaker. Its a common problem. But it is intermittent. You can go round a bend and it plays up, go round another bend and it sorts itself out.
Just buy a new HU. I did and its so much better.
i would consider Tarmacs Scorpion. its a good exhaust for the money IMO.
alternatively, i have a backbox sitting in my garage that you could buy off me?
fitting is fairly simple with a bit of spanner experience.
i had a red, 5 door, 1.2, vauxhall nova merit.
was a class car, had it 4 years. only broke down once, due to a snapped clutch cable. 10 quid and 10min fix!!!
no pictures tho
It is a very easy mod, the little white clips u turn 90 deg were a bloody pain.
Make sure u don't cook the lense like I did. cover it in foil and keep it on a low heat. I was very silly.
i found sextons direct to be OK. the fascia they sent me was sport on and fitted really well. the colour mate was good too.
i have and alpine unit in mine and think it is very good, the sound is very good however you will have to replace the Amp and possibly the sub to get them to work properly. as the new unit doesnt work the same as the Bose one did to power the amp. (so i have been told)
+1
if you have over 700 k to spend on a car then would u worry about VED i very much doubt it.
i would want a V16 turbo/supercharged monster that would suck small children through the front grill for that kinda money.
