I agree. If your Hu is kicking out 45w I think the basic Clio spkrs are 15w and the uprated ones you can get from factory are 25w. Aftermarkets dont need to break the bank but if you havent already change the fronts at the same time.

Yeah, I try to keep the system as invisible as possible. Not sure that speaker theft is all that common but it gives it away that you have a good HU, probably an amp and a changer etc...
Fixx is right. Most head units these days come with ISO connectors. The other half of which will be in your car. The only adaptor you need is stalk / display re my previous message.
I wouldnt do anything like that. If you set the airbag off youll be spending some coin on a new one.
If it was me Id be down the main dealers and telling them that they need to fix it. if they say that they cant find owt then ask why the sodding lights on if they say they dont know then dont...
Check out http://www.connects2.comwww.connects2.com there adaptors can be ordered from Halfords. Only tried Sony ones myself but they put the functionality of the Autoleads unit to shame.
Yes you can, actually the adaptors for the HUD and stalk plug straight in too, (I think you used to have to take the dash top off?). If you just want to fit the Head Unit its two plugs (one for all the power and earth connections) and the other is for speakers. There will be a spare yellow plug...
Yeah the only way round that is to record the whole mix as one MP3. Its the same if you listen to live album but the benefits outway that imo.
Navigation is easy, it works just like a changer, button for album skip, button for track skip (remember to put the albums in folder like Pete_172 said...
Smokey mate I owe you one.
Got the trims ordered, 40 quid a side + 15 to av em shipped up to Leeds. That saved me 245.00 quid. :D
Wont be cutting no more holes though!
I went MP3 simply because I carry two or three discs in the glovebox which gives me 27 albums to go at and the fact that I dont have to have a changer in the car. Plus you can always add a cahnger later if you want.
If you go MP3 Id fit it youself, the Sony will have ISO plugs and it will plug...
Okay here goes I f*cked up fitting the tweeters into my doors at the weekend and I need new door trims. Main dealer wants 170 quid a side, I did ask if they were gold plating the cheap plastic these days.
Anyway, does anyone know if I can get an aftermarket trim from anywhere or even a...
There obviously is something wrong cos otherwise the light wouldnt be on even its just the light thats faulty (could be a short, you havent had some ICE put in or owt that might have gone near the wiring loom feeding the dash ? Could just be a wire shorting to earth.). Sounds like they just ran...
F*ck the MOT, get it checked out so it will look after our face in a smash! Rememeber you can be the greatest driver in the world but if some mailto:d@ck">d@ck head in a mailto:N@v">N@v@ causes the smash you wanna WALK away!
The SP codes and points are as follows (I got this from the DVLA website so it correct), they all seem to be 3 to 6 points the fine wasnt mentioned. 3 or 6 points is descretionary depending on how much you were exceeding the limit, conditions etc and any more than 30 over the limit is a ban...
Can you not get the MOT done when your on your lunch? Book the MOT for Monday and drive to work then drop the car in for the MOT. If you get stopped explain that you have an appointment and you should be okay. Its legal to drive to the MOT station without an MOT and the police will double chaeck...
I think the new BMW minis and the new VW Beetle are in some way wrong. I love to see what people have done to the real mini and bug when theyve spent some, now they can be individual.
Going to a dealer and buying a new car with factory graphics and the like and is trying to immitate those...
I went for a Sony cos they can use the HUD in the top of the dash too. See my post re the Connects2 adaptor.
Just ordered a CDX-F7700, should be sweet. Was 212.00 on the net, over 300 at Halfords!
The CDX-F5700 looks nice and you can get them for about 150.00.
Just had a look on eBay. They are USA spec units so you may not get radio reception in FM over here. Also there is import duty on electrical/electronic items (about 45 quid) which isnt mentioned because HM Customs will bill you! Not to mention the 35.00 delivery charge and 5.00 insurance..so...
