I think I could probably get into this detailing malarkey, but I can't really work on a car by my house. Any ideas of the best options? I was thinking maybe using the the pressure washer at the petrol station for general cleaning and then getting the professionals in a couple of times a year?

The issue myself and Champy were both having was a button on the face plate had been pushed in. Don't know which button it was on Champys but mine was the tape button. Champy prised his back out I took out the faceplate and unscrewed the backing PCB to free it. All works fine now, although there is definitely more noticeable background noise on Radio/line in, its even there when the stereo is apparently switched off? It's bearable though and doesn't increase with volume and my after market exhaust means I need my tunes loud! Thanks for the help everyone.

I'll have one, any recommendations for a quality panel filter?

One of my interior bulbs blew today.... It's a sign!

Got it this morning, fits like a dream. They actually tried to deliver yesterday, quick.

Black nail varnish? I like The Cure but...

So this is the final look, I mounted my tablet with elastic and tucked the front cover behind the elastic. the elastic pulls off easily enough when not in use. The cubby size is perfect for 7" tablets.

Got some black rims but touch a curb when parking, damage is minimal but silver is showing through. What's the best way to touch it up? It's a tiny area so I was thinking some sort of Pen would do?

Didn't get that car in the end but thanks for the tips

You should probably look at my handy work before saying its easy... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/76772-mounting-a-tablet/#entry1140772

Hi rickdon, Would you offer the carbon wrapping service, just thinking you could buy the wrap in bulk. I'd defo be up for one. I'm also pretty rubbish at things like this....

I got in today turned the ignition on and it was already saying side 1. I've tested the line in and it works fine. However the radio doesn't work. If I click eject the radio comes on but only to static and I can't tune it. I then have to perform the tape reset to get the line in working. At least I can use the line in though! No radio is a bummer but it's a start.

I didn't cut the tracks,so that's not an issue. Thought I might as well hear how it sounds first. Could you run me through the reset? What does the stereo show before you do a reset, I'm not seeing any warning/error? So do I need to do a reset? Do you turn the ignition all the way off and when you turn it back on do you go one click, 2 click or turn the engine on (3 clicks)? Do you wait for the ignition to be off before holding down the eject button or hold it down before switching the ignition off or try to press the button and turn the ignition off at the same time? When you hold it down do you try and turn on the ignition as soon as it stops or just after? Do you keep your finger on eject as you turn the ignition, when do you let go? Thanks for any help.

I seem to be having a similar issue to Champy When I connected the wires at the back of the stereo the tape player started cycling. When I turned on the ignition for the first time the tape player said 'side 1'. I then went through the reset procedure and it's now stuck on fm 87.5. None of the buttons work except, power, volume and load cd. Any ideas???? The Head unit hasn't given me any error messages ?? I did manage to pull the ground wire contact of the PCB, so just scratched down to copper further in the line and soldered on to there. as shown below. Would this create an issue?

I've decide a big loop of elastic is probably the simplest way to attach my Tablet to the cubby. I've got some 3inch wide stuff and I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to turn it into a loop without resorting to getting out the sewing kit! I've tried wonder web but the bond isn't strong enough and I melted the elastic using the iron .... Anyway I've covered the iphone mount, got a bit of glue on the front but you can't really see it in the cubby so may leave it. I rounded of the edges and cut off one of the corners to allow for cabling. Coved the front in a layer of white backing felt then wrapped some black felt round the front and super glued it down. Yes, I ended super glued some of the felt to my fingers so now have what look like hairy finger tips... I mounted my holder slightly off centre so the volume buttons on my iphone were still accessible.
