I have a JVC DAB receiver add-on for my head unit which works reasonably well (apart from questionable DAB coverage but that's another matter...). It came supplied with an external aerial which can either be stuck onto the roof and the cable routed down the side of the rear window or mounted to the side of the boot lid. Unfortunately it's a hideous looking thing, and I've recently bought a...

I've got a Cobra alarm and an Immobiliser. Not sure if the Immobiliser is a Cobra one or not. Anyway, last night some thick ****s broke into my car, spent a while ripping the dash to bits, and then noticed the immobiliser. And ripped that out of the dash too. It had 1 central contact, with 3 more contacts in a triangle shape around the central contact. Any ideas what model it is, and where I can...

Hi All, Just in case anyone else has been anxiously awaiting the release of Kenwood's KCA-IP500 iPod interface box, most of the online car audio stores seem to have stock as of yesterday - mine should be arriving tomorrow, so I shall spend the afternoon seeing if there is any free space left inside the dash of my Celica in which to mount it! Opinions on this gadget from the US (where it has...

Has anyone fitted or had fitted a new head unit in a new shape (K12) Micra? I have tried several times to remove the one in ours and it just doesn't seem to want to come out! Thanks, BraileTrail --

Hi all, I'm looking for a head unit that can play MP3 from a DVD. So far the JVC KD-AVX1 seems to be the only option :- http://www.jvcmobile.co.uk/prod_detail.asp?action=&prod_area=mobile&prod_id=110&sub_cat_id=999999 Just wondering if anyone knows of any others. I don't care about video, but I do want a decent display showing ID3 etc.

Had one of these things shoved in the loft for a year, just dragged it out to put it to a bit of use and can't find the instructions. I had it hooked up to all five speaker outputs last time I used it, but I just want it to run a sub this time. Just wondering if anyone knows which outputs I should be using for just one speaker (it does 240w when down to one channel iirc). I assume it's the...

I have a GAMMA-IV Radio in my VW Bora (it was originally in a Passatt) and I want to connect it to a Matsu****a CD (serial no 4051214). I think the units will talk to each other if I had the right connector lead but the local VW garage can't supply one. The radio has a black 8-pin rectangular socket and the CD player has a blue square 8-pin plug. I'd like to find a rectangular socket to...

Hi there Can i fit my MP3 (not an ipod, ministry of sound) player into my existing factory fitted Car Stereo? The MP3 player has line out... There are no 'line ins' from the front. its a single cd player, in a 03 citroen xsara picasso? any ideas?

Can someone tell me how many wires are supposed to go into the amplified bee sting aerial commonly found in VAG hatch backs (e.g. a 2001 A3). I've lost radio reception in mine and I suspect the amplifier in the aerial base is gone. So I unscrewed the aerial base and opened it up. Now all I can see going into the base is a single core black wire... no co-ax and no power wire. So could it be...

Hi all, I have a quick question. I am thinking of replacing the Seimens VDO CDR2005 in my 04 model of Vauxhall Vectra. I would like something that would play CD, MP3 and also have DAB. Looking at the Vauxhall offerings, they have mp3 but don't have any

As you probably realise, a 1989 Volvo 740 isn't worth as much as a CD changer cable, but it's still nice to have music. The battery failed and as a result, the CR-702 radio has a code request. I would normally just chuck it out and put another radio in, but the wiring is strange, and primarily I'm curious about the configuration of the speakers. The Volvo radio has a power plus some other...

....re fitting. My P reg Suzuki Swift has no cassette/radio fitted but does have the wiring loom sort of hanging out of the aperture...the wires (seems like hundreds of the blighters..!) terminate in a couple of plastic blocks which I assume clip into the back of the radio. Question is, if I buy another radio/cassette (it won't be a new one-just a cheap n cheerful used one) will it match the...

Hi, I hope somebody can help me here. I had a test drive in the Nissan Maxima and as much as I like the car, the 6 speaker "audio" system is shocking. Is there a possibility to do some improvements to it without taking the whole (new) car apart, changing wires and everything? I'm not into the deep bass boom boom, just something better than the sound of a mono radio (and that's what it sounds...

I'm building myself a car PC, but the missus doesn't want me to butcher her dash, so she just wants an all in one MP3 HDD tuner unit to replace her standard Skoda Headunit in her 2000 Fabia. She doesn't want the expense of buying an iPod, a link system and a new headunit, just wants a nice simple all in one. Doesn't have to be overly powerful as she is going to be running it through the...

Hi, I'm getting an Alpine CDA-9812RB and eventually an Alpine KCA-420i to connect an ipod. My question is do I have to have everything on the ipod in MP3 format? I assuming the interface doesn't add AAC compatibility. The official web site makes no mention of audio format other than the head

Hi, After having my Panasonic CQ-RDP383N nicked, I've been searching for a replacement. I kinda want to keep to the same budget and functionality, and have found the current equivalent Panny for 80 from incarexpress. I've been away from the group for over a year now, so waht I want to ask is if there's anything new in the MP3 in car scene that I should be aware and take advantage of - I saw a...
