  1. I'll need to replace all 4 tyres soon and settled on Vredestein ULTRAC SESSANTA

    I can save a decent chunk by dropping to a 40 profile.

    Other than the speedo not reading quite right, any downside?

    Mytyres best price fitted I can find.

    245/45 = £172.20

    245/40 = £142.20

     

     

  2. If you replace the headunit, you'll need a steering wheel adapter.

    This will allow you to control the basic functions like volume or track but will not let you control the phone.

    You'll find that the phone buttons will generally do something - on my Pioneer they change the source.

  3. Finally got round to fitting my reversing camera.

    Pulling the cables through was quite easy thanks to the guides on here.

     

    Being lazy, I only removed the one piece of trim at the back of the boot.

    I know from the guides that the reverse power cable is green with silver trim and notice in the mass of cables right in the middle of the boot (above the rubber grommet you pull the cables through) there is a cable with the same colours.

     

    So... is this the right cable?

     

    I took a photo, but the upload to photobucket failed and I didn't notice before re-fitting trim. :-(

     

    I need to get some more scotch locks tomorrow, so not been able to "give it a try" yet

     

    Thanks

  4. I bought the x3500dab as I particularly wanted DAB

     

    Really like the head unit, looks good in the dash and does everything I need.

    If I had any negatives, it would be that changing tracks on an iPod could be slicker but this is more related to the touch interface as I had an Alpind Ida-x100 before that operated via a jog wheel.

     

    Not made many phone calls via Bluetooth but those that I have are fine.

  5. After all that, it was really simple.

    Pull off all the plastic and trim, remove FM aerial and bolt on the new DAB one.

     

    Finally, full signal strength with no burble.

    Only got 1 bar on the drive with internal aerials before, now max signal.

     

    Not as nice looking as the RDX aerial, but worth the sacrifice (for me at least)

  6. I've owned my Zed for a year now and from the start found the clutch bite hard to get used to.

    Since having a Cobra resonated system fitted, I don't judder anywhere near the same.

     

    Is this in my head, or any reason why changing exhaust would make it easier to launch?

  7. Fitted a Pioneer x3500dab in March. Really happy with it and DAB signal is pretty good.

    But, I've lost my FM signal; I pickup no stations at all.

    Worked fine with my previous HU that needed an ISO to DIN adapter.

     

    Any thoughts?
