the JVC had a neoprene case for its front, but i didn't get it with the purchase. so i shall go into the textile lab at work and knock one up for both uinits a bit like a back to back double case. as for storage they could be put in the rear cubby and locked in or put in your bag when you leave. i carry a very large laptop case for work big enough for marking and laptops or if i'm visiting friends i'm usually staying the night so they'll go in my overnight bag.

i didn't want the satnav in the double din slot, its too low down to view. wanted it in the cubby as its the best place for it. hence 2 systems and not 1. also i can have 2 things running at the same time. if i eventually get and OBDII system put in, i can have satanv and dials both on at the same time.

fully understand the lack of updates just hope all is well

heres my contribution pioneer Avic F500BT and JVC EXAD AVX810

First off a really big thanks must go to Husky, met up today at Subzero's for a secret mission, and as we had some time spare afterwards he helped me finish off the last of my ICE install. I had already done most of the soldering and wiring set-up but was being a bit of a chicken with the actual plug in bit. I'd also like to say a big thanks to Sobrien and Rob quads as both of their ICE guides have helped me do the wiring. sobriens guide: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=19787 rob quads guide: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=16403 also used this: but still have some issues so need to have another read: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=32337&hilit=steering+wheel+controls and last but not least i need to thank Yokomo; who has helped behind the scenes with cabling issues and just generally givein encouragement via PM. I Bought the JVC EXAD 7'' KW-AVX810 MULTIMEDIA CENTRE, i got it 2nd hand off ebay for a very good price. and the unit is in excellent condition. it offers loads of options and expandability. paid £250 inc P+P for it. i currently already run the Pioneer Avic F500BT as a satnav in my cubby and thought that this unit would compliment it well. for one simple reason, i can remove the front off the headunit and i can remove the sat nav; both in about 5 seconds. so for the pics; as we all know thats all you lot are interested in. the car centre console with all removed the connectors in the cubby for the satnav the pioneer unit the JVC front some of the start up screens with the nav running with video; my favourite comedy film as it shows its also got an SD card on the front haven't had a proper play yet, have learnt a few things but need to use it for a bit to get my full review done so i will come back and update. Problems: had an issue with the incartec steering control unit; which currently means i have no steering wheel control. will go back and re look at this. Things to finish: still got all the extender cables under the gear shift surround. we ran out of time but all i need to do is wire up the reverse camera. put the USB connector in the arm rest. buy a portable Hard drive. put the video in cables to the passenger cubby. along with my video out. might only be a headunit change, but the sound quality is so much crisper

labour PR team are obviously desperate. its what puts me off about politics, if you can;'t beat them, smeer them, cleverly done though, considering they got it out of 1 interview

we all know drivers of german cars have tiny penises

just fitted mine today, will add photos later as i'm now running twin screens

looks so much better

questions asked a while back but never got a response on here?

looking really good, just fitted the same headunit today

glad to hear you got it sorted, look forward to seeing the pics

looking really good

Cheers guys. Will be fitting today.

looking forward to seeing these. mine looks a little dirty near the drivers side form the previous owner, so being able to spruce it up in there sounds like a cunning plan

thats so wrong its a face palm moment

all good choices, i'd just find the best example in your price rang

hi What are the main things I should be looking out for on a Z before I purchase, I know about discs/pads, servicing checks but are there any specifics to look out for ? Good examples being the RMS issue on a Boxster and Vanos issue on an M3 ? to be honest nothing major, as long as they have been looked after and serviced regularly then they tend to be fairly bullet proof. little niggles tend to be rear CV link and drop links but fairly easy and cheap to sort. others have the odd clutch issue and need a new clutch, but its not really cropped up in any huge frequency What are servicing prices like at specialists, Im interested in major service prices ? as an example i go to Team AFM they tune BTCC touring cars amoungst other things, and they do most of the work on my car. the major service is the P3, i bought most of the consumables for about £100 just over and they charged me £220 for the service i think in total it was about £330 JDM or UK spec what are the main differences and are there any issues with insurance, dealer prices etc... - I've had an MR2 import before so not that fussed about having one. have a look in the buyers guide there are several stickies in there with all the info you need Whats the chances of getting one for about 8.5 ~ 9k, is this a realistic figure or not ? good, but might need to search abit for one of really good quality What are prices for discs/pads bearing in mind they're Brembos ? depends hugely on what pads/discs you put on. have a look on z-store.co.uk to give you an idea of whats available and price. there are also lots of other traders that sell brake stuff all at competitive prices. have a browse of the traders section Hope that helps

get lots of interest and kids talk to me about cars. get 6th formers coming to see me to sort there cars out as well

you're a teahcer right? Yes surely can't be driving a zed to school. Yes wouldnt be old enough surely... Yeah not a student and you forgot to mention how much...haven't sat down and work it all out, still waiting on a 2 quotes from people so i can finalise it all

won't be with out handles, i have a spare set, i prep and get them ready, post to you, you fit and send me back yours. i refurb them and then send to the next person etc. just trying to get my GCSE stuff out the way then i can give it more attention. hopefully after the end of next week.
