  1. I have not used the products from this company ,but do use something very similar from a company called Trackit247 which is pay as you go based with sim cards.and has a similar web set up the products look very similar and the tracking and reporting is spot on. however the unit we use from them also has an output which can be enabled via sms message which can be wired to just about anything,you want to turn on or off. we use it with a relay to disrupt a starting circuit to prevent use of a vehicle on our rental fleet of taxi and private hire cars ,so if the rent is not paid we can just look and see where the car is,maybe we will want to recover it,or just check a drivers story about being 100 miles away and not back till tomorrow. If outstanding payments are becoming a problem the car is remotely turned off !! and wont start Amazing results in reducing outstanding rental payments. we also use it to disable vehicles that are parked up and not in use for longer periods as a security measure
  2. Hi did you swap the heater ECU also (the white box behind the heater control panel ) for the later unit?
  3. quite a few of us have done the full swap of door cards and console ,some small amount of wiring mods needed and more parts than you think will need swapping ,i wouldnt expect much change from a monkey (£500)or may be more in top condition for the lot with door cards tbh
  4. get up earlier and get to work earlier then park in the M Directors space ,when he comes looking tell him its first up best dressed and your not moving it
  5. VERY SORRY NOW THAT I BOUGHT UP THE MANKINI!!!!
  6. i HAVE SEEN SIMILAR BEFORE ON OCCASION THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC WHITE PLUGS SEEM TO GO BRITTLE AND DISINTIGRATE / CRUMBLE ,I REPAIRED ONE BEFORE BY BUYING A S.O.T LEAD COMONLY USED TO FIT PARROT HANDSFREE KITS SO HAS ALL PLUGS FOR ORIGINAL STEREO ON ,AND SIMPLY USED A RELEASE TOOL FOR THE PINS AND USED THE NEW EMPTY SHELLS ON THE VEHICLE ORIGINAL WIRING SO COST A £15.00 TO GET THE NEW PLASTIC PLUGS BASICALY. I DID FIND A WIRING PINOUT SOMEWHERE ONLINE THAT IDENTIFIED EACH WIRES LOCATION TO MAKE IT EASY
  7. lol by domestic i meant at home rather than for any business type use
  8. enough said by others on the mixing of tyres and the quality you started the thread to ask for advice and have been given said advice ,so guess if it were me i would take it.. ?? all written with no grammer
  9. personally for a good cheap domestic tablet you could consider Acer iconia one either 8inch or 10 inch ?about £100
  10. Its not that hard to swap out the internal CD unit from the stereo chassis its sort of a complete unit that fits in from the top and has a few screws holding it and a wiring loom . The front panel clips off as a complete unit as well from memory with no wires or looms involved ,I have actually swapped the newer Bose stereo front panel from a later facelift unit onto the original DE non face lift Bose stereo to get around the code problem when i fitted a full later facelift console and center panel as the corners of the front panel are a different shape and contour and i prefered to keep the car standard looking. I say not difficult but skill set of the individual might be relervent as i strip vehicles interiors and electronics daily for installations etc
  11. also the front panel completly removes from the rest of the unit and is not coded so if you have mint front panel and buttons ,thats another spare part for sale to replace worn ,tatty or faulty button stereo
  12. or if they are good non skipping cd units ,you could have dismantled the units and removed the cd multi unit and sold them for people to swap the faulty CD unit on their own car that bit is not coded
  13. yes they are are straight swap ,i have swaped mine for a pair of facelift door cards from a 350z convertible as they were easier to obtain and they will go straight in with the later grab handle and plastic switch panels ,although you can use your old switches in the later facelift panels which might save you money .Also with a couple of extra wires you can hook up the extra cup holder LED lights so they coam on with the ignition like the rest of the amber dash lights
  14. most parts on ebay now listings 151999501990 272183921205 281977548254 281976195194 281976201150 most parts with same seller i would try and bid / offer him a deal on the lot be quick I have no connection with the seller just though i would do a quick search out of curiosity for you
