  1. Thanks, Sam!

     

    On a different matter, I've wrote to 3 of the Admins of the forum in regards to my willing to help developing a more modern community portal, but did not get a reply at all. I've been running an over 12.000 members community website for the last 7 years and developed tens of websites :)

     

    Anyone knows who is the owner / decision maker of this portal and his/her contact details?

     

    Thanks,

    Adrian

  2. Thanks everyone, I already feel like home :yahoo:

     

    Got a flat tyre list night coming off M1 at Brent Cross after a good, good race with a Honda S2000, from Watford to Brent Cross. Will try to have the tyre done today and get some photos to post them here.

     

    Thanks once again!

     

    P.S.

    Why did I waste so many years driving BMWs and Alfa Romeos? :blink:

  3. Hello,

     

    I'm Adrian, 31yo living in Watford and two days ago converted to ZED :drive1:) My new car is a standard gun metal grey 2005 Nissan 350Z GT. First mod came in today, the BT adapter :teeth: Still trying to figure out what will be the priorities and the budget in improving the car's performance and look.

     

    Thanks,

  4. Right, just came back and started the installation, so it's work in progress, typing from the car.

     

    However, really nice guy at the parts department, got a really good deal. The KE283-CDU01 was £197.88 and the BT adapter was £98.76. So the total came to £296.74 including VAT. Got everything for £200.00 cash! :)

     

    Here is what I've done so far:

     

    Step 1

     

    Disconnect the battery.

     

    Step 2

     

    Locate the central console lid, LOL

    Step 3 - optional

     

    If you have SatNav installed the remote & the holder should be fitted inside the glove box. Remove the remote and the screws from the remote holder.

    Step 4

     

    Remove the small lid so you can get access to the wires / connectors

    Step 5

     

    Pull the seats towards the dashboard as much as possible and locate the two big screws in the center console, unscrew them, one on each side.

    Step 7

     

    Carefully pull the plastic where the gear lever and aircon console is.

    Unscrew the two big screws as per photos.

    Step 9

     

    Remove the white band cable carefully.

     

    IMG_0035.jpg

     

    Step 10

     

    Pull the central console away so you can access the connections required.

    Step 11

     

    Locate the harness connectors and connect them to the two connectors from the bluetooth cradle.

    IMG_0029.jpg

     

    Step 12

     

    Fit the false floor back on to the central console using the screws provided in the bluetooth kit.

    In case you have the older SatNav with the remote control, fit the remote holder back on the central console.

    Step 13

     

    Now go to the glove compartment behind the passenger seat and remove the carpet trim and the floor panel where the SatNav CD-ROM unit is installed.

    Step 14

     

    Locate the two harness connectors and connect the control unit.

    IMG_0050.jpg

     

    Step 15

     

    Peal the adhesive pads protection and stick the control unit under the glove box flooring. The fit everything back.

    IMG_0059.jpg

     

    Step 16

     

    Tidy up inside the car :lol: and re-connect the negative terminal of the battery.

     

    Step 17

     

    Now start the car and on your phone search for a new bluetooth device, pair with the 350Z using the pin: 1234. You are now ready to go! :drive1

     

    Hope that helps!
