370Ad Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Was happily going to fit a double din sat nav unit into the new 70 but after reading up on some guides from the US I am finding it hard to source the right parts. From what I have read so far I need the wiring loom and steering wheel controls. Anyone know of UK suppliers for these? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated! I did the 50 so hoping it will be similar. Edited March 20, 2014 by 370Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

370Ad Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Picked the car up yesterday and I am very impressed. Sound quality has dramatically increased. I chose the more expensive facia (soft touch like rest of the car) and I am so glad I did. Fits like a glove and looks factory (ish) Steering wheel controls all work and the unit is very quick to start. The traffic management is also very handy Edited March 20, 2014 by 370Ad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

370Ad Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 that looks great speakers next ? The standard Bose speaker/sub/amp package seems a lot better than the 50 so might just leave it as it is for now. Need to stop spending money on it really....

Need to stop spending money on it really.... mine sounds good but having looked at the speakers they are rubbish and makes me wonder what it could sound like, the doors have 6x9" speakers and feel they could give better bass was you're alignment out by much ? - spotted the other thread Edited March 20, 2014 by GIXXERUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it only gives out 12 watts RMS power were as the pioneer gives out 22. Probably your best bet over the speakers initially. Toe was out at the front and rear right but also the rear left camber was almost a degree more than rear right. Mine was one owner from new and he has never had the alignment done only put 2 sets of new tyres on. At 1K for 4 I wanted to make sure I was getting the most out of them!

Ahhh yes much harder to change connect premium/sat nav model. It didn't feel twitchy exactly just not as precise as the 50. When the road was cambered it would crab a little too. I imagine some people wouldn't notice but I need my steering wheel dead straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
