Sounds a right pain, hope you can get them to sort it on Monday.
Renault forgot to fit an alarm in my Trophy (got overlooked at the import centre) http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif.
I have to give credit to my dealer (Liningtons, Portsmouth) who responded...
The Autocar one is online now too: http://www.autocar.co.uk/FirstDrive_Summary.asp?RT=216093Autocar

Yep, they are great.
Means you can take the scenic route back from the supermarket, and the shopping wont have unpacked itself when you get home. :D
Also very handy on trackdays / ring trips i have discovered.
The dampers are worthwhile wether youre driving at 10mph or 110mph, the ride is very good. Youve got the handling benefits youd get from running coilovers but with a ride that is far superior to even the standard 172 cup suspension.
Its fantastic, couldnt be happier with it. The magazine reviews sum it up perfectly for me. Still cant believe just how effortlessly it goes round bends. Im looking forward to getting it on the track now.
It does seem to grab peoples attention. Im noticing passengers of other cars looking...
^^ Yeah, ive just found the same. Neither my Connects2 CD changer interface or my new InCarTec Remote / Display interface will work on the 2005 clio.
Did you get the InCarTec one Lee?
Hi Paul, welcome to the club. Ill be at Brands on the 19th as will a few others from here.
1. Would be a good idea to use your old tyres on the track rather than ruin your new ones (presuming its dry that is). Provided you have your old tyres on a separate set of wheels, you can swap them...
Yeah, its very odd. You can connect it fine, thats no the problem, but it must be a software / firmware thing somewhere. There are some minor differences in what is shown on the display and the way the unit functions over the one in the 172 so somethings changed on them internally.
Connects2...
So i have found, seriously annoying. I have a Dension hard disc MP3 player which worked with the standard OEM unit in my 172 with a Connects2 CD changer adaptor (the mp3 player uses a Sony CD changer interface).
Since getting the Trophy this doesnt work any more on the 2005 OEM head units...
