do u know what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how absolutely, positively, shockingly rude of me!!!!!!! i have forgotten to say............ THANKYOU!!!!! very, much Nixy!!!!!!! i will look forward to picking this up from you.

nope i totally agree

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh winner winner chicken dinner. when is the wales meet?? also might be able to pick it up from york at some point as we will be driving up there to go to Middlesbrough!!!!

thanks, thought i would do something productive with my day off

ok, this is how i did it! it is not for the faint hearted, but it looks alot more complicated than it actually is. 1st- remove the HU using the method in the first post 2nd- take the complete unit indoors and remove the trim panel from the radio cage (housing). 2 black screws. now you should have the HU on its own and ready to be taken apart. 3rd- remove the left and right mounting bracket, taking the 4 gold screws out and then the final black one (same for the opposite side) 4th remove the front fascia from the rear of the unit, work from one side and release the clips gently using a flat blade screwdriver 5th once the front fascia has been removed you will need to take off the bottom panel to expose all of the boards and contacts there are about 8 screws and some are mounted on the front and back of the unit. once these screws are removed the lid should come off with a bit of prising from a flat blade screwdriver 6th now you have access to the terminals and boards the rest is easy!! all i did was use the cable from my tape adapter and solder that onto the terminals. i used a continuity meter to test which ones were the left and right sides of the 3.5mm jack and to make sure there were no breaks. once in, i tested end to end (from the soldered joint to the corresponding jack input.) i then used the little notch to the right of the terminals to thread the cable through reassemble the opposite way, i "pinched" the new cable via a between the lid and the main unit so that it would not go anywhere if pulled a bit. i would advise that before you put all the trim back together and reassemble the car, you plug in all of the relevant plugs and test the newly installed cable with your MP3 player. i have thread the cable all the way back into the armrest cubby but it was VERY tight on the cable length. it does seem to be an easier method to soldering and cutting tracks on the PCB. well worth a go IMO!! good luck hope this helps! Sparky

i have just done this mod and it was fairly easy!!! and works a treat! solder point were easy to find as well. Spot on i have taken pics and will provide a guide

i really think i'll "leaf" that alone!!

yeah im wondering about that!! its a 2 core cable with 3 points needed to be soldered!!! or ami being daft?

its says they have sensor??? dont think so!!!!! DOH

welcome

as i remember it took almost 3 weeks for mine to come through!!!!!!!!!!

AND I AM THAT MAN!!!!!! i have one spare at home somewhere!!! if i can dig it out u can have it! let me know where you live and i'll stick it in the post! Sparky EDIT:- did u just "clear out" the fog lens or did u put a new cluster in both sides?

hey Jerry, sorry to hear about your job fella, good luck with the full time venture! your Zed is immaculate i just hope you get to keep her!!!!! SParky

a very clever, yet simple mod!!!!!! nicely done!!!!! kudos to your Bro

there is nothing like the thrill of lighting up the rear tyres and given her a blast!!!!!!!!! LOL always will put a smile on my face!!!!!!!!! Sparky

have you thought of putting in a flux capacitor? 88mph then flames!!!!!!!

this is what i want to do. the invisible ones are supposed to be quite good. there is a thread on here about that too. sometimes the rear of the car can be hard to see!! as well as the front LOL.

15 mins is a bit optimistic but with 2 people and a bit of patience it isnt that difficult. i would say if you have never had it off before set aside and hour to take it off. there is an excellent guide on here somewhere on how to take it off as well. IIRC it took me about 45mins. EDIT:- there u go http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Rear_Bumper_Removal Sparky
