  1. Welcome,

     

    I imported mine direct from Japan and the worry is you pay out a lot of money to people that are internet based and hope your car turns up, if i was looking now i would buy one that is already in the UK, so you can see and buy.

    Goog luck

  2. David read the content of the post before defending your decision to pay money for none existing discounts.

     

    Other people will make there own mine up on the subject, Val is just pointing out to other members on this site (730 and growing) how to make savings and not pay for them so as you say the discount is a benefit, but even better Val is showing members how to get it for free.

     

    I am saying from experience if you handle the situation as a market driven quote you will see the discount is only there to achieve marketing advantage on other companies, as once they get your call they remove the promise of the 15% whether you are a member or not.

    This is seen on other sites as a reason to pay yearly membership, all Val is questioning is the reason why, no mention of which site, as Val is a paid up member of that site (not the oc) he has the right to question it.

     

    MFI are always offering 40% off so hurry as it will be over soon !

  3. Thats what i found, they ask first if i had recieved a quote from anyone else, i said yes, then they asked if i was a member of any car club, i said no, they said they would give me a member discount anyway (15%)

     

    So they are just quoting against market prices and using the 15% as a marketing ploy!

  4. Am i right in saying i would need to buy a Metra harness like....

    which i could attach the headunit to and slot into the space, and use an ISO adapter like...

    to attach the headunit to the internal wiring?

     

     

    Thats what you need it will fill the space of you old unit with a small storage pocket, and fit your new head unit.

    see here http://www.350z-uk.com/gallery/displayi ... 0&pos=-402

     

    and the wiring is an iso (plug and play) lead.

     

    After that you just push in the new unit.

  5. I take it your current unit is 2 din (as large as two head units)

    so will need to fit a 1 din conversion (i think this will be above Halfords scope)

     

    Currys are doing them for £319 but you will need to fit them.

     

    High spec unit for the money but only Video not MP4, so to use the DVD you will need to carry the full film on DVD.

  6. Hi guys,

     

    So if you don't want to take out your Bose unit, you are a bit screwed for installing a Car PC (assuming you want MP3) cos there is nowhere to connect it to the audio system, right?

     

    Sorry for the newbie question, it's just that I'm a newbie :)

    Not exactly, as the two can work side by side but if you are playing mp3's then why go back to cd's.

     

     

    Have a look at this

    Fitted it a Zed

    The car is a UK car and they changed the head unit only, running through the Bose amps and speakers.

     

    This gives you sat nav, dvd, mp3, mp4, Ipod, all for £980. if i had my time again that is the way to go.

  7. Val,

     

    I carried in my hand luggage a electronic data log system, 12" screen, PC, cables and electronic cards, last week with no problem through customs and the x-ray machines,

     

    He would be ok to put it in his case no problem.

     

    We hand carry electronics all the time he just needs paperwork invoiced value at £10 each from him to you, as enngineering samples to be showen only if he is stopped and customs can not disagree with the value.
