Husky Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 yeah you said there was way to many leds ahhh i cant even remember it Quote
marzman Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Just an idea when I was going to fit it I was thinking of taking the power from the ignition lead from the back of the stereo so it would switch on and off when you turn the car on and off I used Pin 22 of the M49 Connector which gives power when the ignition is in position 2, so much better than before. Only took me an hour to fit too... Will update the DIY now... Wasso - go for it, its a great mod. Quote
Wasso Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I think I'll go for it. As I have a few internal panels already off whilst sorting my fuses out. Just out of curiosity what are the best connectors to use for joining the wires to those in the car. I used to use scotch blocks or what ever they were called. Quote

Husky Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 those things are horrible and make me shudder even thinking about then. get a soldering iron Quote
Wasso Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I can't solder, knit, paint, draw or anything to do with my hands. So I'll use the three aids in the box. I didn't actually get round to fitting the HUD and detailed the car instead. Clayed, polished, engine bay clean the lot. So it will be next weekend that I'll fit it. Quote
Ian Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 those things are horrible and make me shudder even thinking about then. get a soldering iron +1 Its not difficult to learn to solder, just takes a bit of practice Quote
LordGrover Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 a not very good video: I'll take some pics of the finished mounting location and quality tomorrow, as i was rushing and had to go to a party tonight! Couldn't get video above to work so here's a new link: click. Quote
