Thanks a lot for this guide Ads. It's helped me get my galaxy note 2mounted in the car. Here's a couple of pics, just need to sort out the trim round the edges.

I used a push to make button and mounted it next to the seat switches. I also managed to use the oem latch for the cubby with a bit of trimming.

Got it working in the end. The scotch locks weren't strong enough to break the insulation on the cables

Right Iv just got all mine wired up including the blue wire attached to the purple wire behind speaker. The relay clicks when I use the switch to foldunfold mirrors but on lock and unlock it does nothing?

Thanks

I had to use a hammer and chisel on mine, it took me around 3 hours to get it free. The stud is pretty strong so dont worry too much about snapping it off

I didn't have the map done someone else did but I think it was at Abbey. The revs arent restricted. It's a fault with the cruise control circuit

Hi guys i still havent sorted my set light flashing issue but i notice, or think i notice recently that it seems to change the map. The car feels less responsive and sluggish. Is this possible?

I'm keeping my bmw badges. The attention they get on the car and the confusion they cause is unreal!

Nice pics thanks for your help with the balljoint cones last week, massive help!

And just for contrast in colour here's mine:

I love mine, motorway is lovely to drive now (as lovely as a motorway can be anyway) and the low down deep rumble is still there but I have berks also.

ahhh I had neither a welder nor a puller so it was grinder and hammers for me

Do your techniques sound the same as mine Jez?

Pretty much did yeah. Had to peel it off with a chisel

Hey guys

What a day I had yesterday! Last week i set out to do my banana arm bushes. Started stripping everything down until I came to the balljoint nut on thr passenger side. Well to say it was ceased is an understatement and my 6 sided socket decided to take a spin and rounded the nut off so everything went back together for another day.

Zmanalex came to my aid and sent me new nuts and cones sharpish so now all was left to do was get the nut off.

Yesterday was the day of reckoning and after struggling like hell for over 3 hours with hammers and chisels (sp?) I decided to take the whole corner off the car so I could get it in the vice. I finally got the nut off but it now loois like this.

Once I had the passenger side back together I set about sorting the driver side. I was wary of the nut but it came off easy. The next problem occurred when I found the crush tube inside the Bush was ceased to the stud. Out came the hammers again and the grinder and the swearing until it finally looked like this.

So the point of this thread is to say be cautious when attempting this. I'm a fairly skilled mechanic and it took me a total of 10 hours constant work.

Hi guys with all the hot weather we've been having its nice to open the Windows and lock the car. Only problem is when I do this the alarm goes off constantly. Any idea what would cause this? There is nothing in the car, bugs or the like.

Thanks
