If you were on BSJ there must have been two sets of Cup and Trophy, because Becca and I were on Maison Blanche....

Ansmann make very good batteries/chargers.

Mine's the Trophy!

You can't generalise. Some older drivers are atrocious as are some younger drivers along with a fair number in between!!! I've followed a pair of girls so busy chatting away they were crawling along the slip road from the M25 to the M11 at 50mph, I've had middle aged mums in A classes pull out...

Look at this bad boy: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-idax001-digital-media-receiver-p-5671.html?cadid=d396e241128848befcf12958b1c7b085

Apparently a lot of thieves go for the factory fit HUs now as they go for big money on ebay. The top end double din Ford units are £600 from Ford!!!

I 've seen the video and it looks very good. I just spoke to Greenlight and they said it's great for stopping smash and grabs. My only fear is that they'd try hard to get in if the window didn't smash!?!?!?

Having been a victim of crime and 'seeing' how easy it is to break a car's windows I'm thinking about getting something like Supa Glass but I'm wondering if there's any point? Yes it means you can hit the window with a baseball bat and it won't explode but doe's that put a thief off or will...

I had a couple of gripes with the 9850. The fact that if your search always starts at 'A' and that you can't jump to a letter, you have to scroll through everything. If they've addressed that in the newer units then I'll look to get one!

Having had my 9850 stolen (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=222091) what should I replace it with. I only listen to my iPod of the radio so the 9881 (9850s replacement) is an obviously choice. Anything else I should consider?

It's been replaced by the CDE-9881R. Luckily the f*cker left the HU to iPod cable cause it's not longer included with the HU!!!

I'll get our 2200W Miele on it in the morning!

It looks like the CDE-9850Ri has been discontinued and I can't see another Alpine head unit with the same 'full speed' integral iPod functionality, other than the £350 DVA-9861Ri!?!?!

It obviously wasn't enough to deter them! I'm wondering if you can get an alarm so loud it's impossible to be in the car with it?

I always leave the front panel on. Unless you take it with you they know it's either in the glove box or under the seat and if it's not their there's a chance they'll turn the car over to find it!
