Anyone done it? The wires are even missing in the ISO (front speaker wiring present only). What way did you fit pins into the ISO connector? What interior trim did you need to remove to get it hidden properly? I was thinking about getting one of those fitting kits for converting older cars to ISO, removing the wires for rear speakers and fitting them into the Skoda ISO connector. Am I likley...

The standard bee sting aerial on a new VW is too long/tall for our garage door. Is there a good quality replacement available mast - for FM only - that will not degrade the reception performance? Grateful for any advice. -- Robert

I'm considering going back to the CarPC project again now that CarTFT in germany are stocking a double din Screen with AM/FM and a USB DVD rom drive. http://www.cartft.com/display_db/display_pics/CID650_Front.jpg http://www.cartft.com/display_db/display_pics/CID650_Side.jpg On the rear it has what appears to be a changer/remote control/line out socket above the power/speaker sockets.

Hi all I live on a boat, and having a 12v system use a car stereo and speakers. Everything works fine, so maybe it's time to try something different... For various reasons I want to install a second car stereo into the boat, alongside the first. Obviously it would be too easy to wire them up to seperate speakers, so i'd like to wire them up so that you can choose whether speaker set A is wired...

Hy to all, someone has a scan of the user manual of this old car radio ? Thanks in advance

Have replaced my Connects2 iPod adaptor with the official Sony one (using with MEX-BT5000 head unit). The sound is definitely better (less noisy analogue electronics), but I'm having a couple of operational problems with it... Firstly I can't get "random albums" mode to work - I've got smart playlists set up on the iPod that are supposed to play complete albums from a specific genre in a...

My wife's car had a JVC KD-G202 cd player fitted in it. My son dropped the facia and now the volume control does not work. Can I fit any other JVC facia to this or does it have to be a KD-G202. Is each unit different? Rodders

I'm looking at the Tomtom 910 and would like to fit it so that it can use the CD6000 to output to the car speakers. Trouble is, there's no aux input on the CD6000. It does say that it can take a CD changer though, so I was wondering if there would be any way to connect it up to this. If anyone has done this, or knows anything about how to sort it out, I would be grateful.

I installed an aerial booster for the JVC head unit in my Skoda Fabia a couple of weeks ago. Worked fine. Car went to dealer for power steering pump replacement. Now aerial booster not working - no stations can be picked up. Got replacement booster from shop. Still no joy. I can't think of what the mechanic could have done to cause this. ( assuming that's what caused this problem ) He will...

Dad wants to buy mum pne for her car for her Birthday. Must be easy to use, preferably with easy to identify buttons etc! And under £100. Any thoughts?

Just noticed that Sony have now done an official iPod adaptor (XA-110). I'm currently using the Connects2 adaptor with the MEX-BT5000. One thing I've noticed with the Connects2 unit is that there's sometimes lag in changing tracks, playlists etc. Not really a problem, but still... The only "issue" with it is having to use the repeat function to change between album/artist/playlist mode (as...

Anyone here know anything about the CD input jack ( 3.5mm) in the Eurovox sound system that comes in the VW Golf GL mk3 (mine is a '95) ?? I tried plugging in my ipod but when I plug the (3.5mm) lead into the jack on the Eurovox unit I get no audio, and it looks kind of like it powers off too...just see the clock mode.. Is there some sort of mode i need to put it into so i can hear the...

I'm considering connecting an iPod to the DEH-P77MP using the Pioneer ipod adapter. Question is - how usable is this setup? If I have, say, 100 or so albums on the iPod then how do you select what to play using the headunit since it doesn't have any kind of scrollwheel mechanism. Is it a case of rotating the jog-dial to go through each album one-by-one to the select one to play? Or is there...
