LOL. It gets whatever Magic plays at the minute, because BMW weren't kind enough to pre-think iPod connectivity. All is in hand though:
Yep- definitely mate. I'll be about from 10.30 or so...
As above, bear. If you need picking up, let me know. xx
Oh you.
Not sure i can this week mate. Sunday is the only day i have to see the missus or she gets all eggy. In a couple of weeks, i'll roll over on a Saturday/evening if it's light enough?

Tell me about it mate
but needs must for the moment.Re: the tape player - i've converted my original tape player to bluetooth as i didn't want a chavvy mess in my Lolvo. we could probably do the same to yours if we can get a circuit board printout?

No, basically I've taken a stereo feed from the input where the tape player would normally feed on the board and wired in an Aux Jack. then wired in an iPhone cradle with power and put a Bluetooth adapter so you can play whatever you want and it looks standard.
It was even cooler when i has the iphone 4 - as you just slotted the phone where the tape deck used to be and played it from there

Fancy, I just hard wired in my belkin receiver into the aux in and for power used an old car iPhone car charger as it ran on the same power. All nice and neat behind the dash with a hard wired phone charger poking out under the drivers side air vent where my phone cradle is.
It won't last. Been there, owned the house 3 months, now want something thirsty again.
Petrol Blue 182.
So I popped down to see this today.
What a car, few more bits and the thing will be epic! Sounds so so so good.

So managed to source some bits to partially tidy up the drivers seat which was showing some signs of wear.
Seat started looking like this:
Removed these tatty old bits;
So it now looks like:
Just need to source a lower bolster to replace the goosed one and it'll look a million times better. It's the only bit that lets the car down at the minute. Then I think it's Gliptone time, to clean and re-dye the seats. Never used that stuff before though, so going to have to do a bit of real world reading from someone who's used it before.

Update time:
So, as previously mentioned, the roof had been slashed and patched before when someone had cut it to break into the car. The rear screen also had a few tiny nicks and one 2" split.
I bought a second hand roof which also needed a rear screen.
Before:
After:
Have also sourced a centre cap, so have refitted the full set.
To say I'm chuffed with how it's looking now is the understatement of the century!

Pics are certainly not your strong point. Lucky you can fix a car really, else you'd be no use to humanity whatsoever x
