I have recently bought a Sony cdx-m9900. the auxiliary input does not display video on the screen unless you connect a light green wire to the handbrake switch wire for safety reasons. if I wanted to bypass this(eg for reversing camera) what should I connect this wire to? constant 12 volt supply?

I want some acoustic carpet for a stealth shelf in Navy blue, but I can't find any. Is there a way for me to dye the stuff?

I've been looking at the Kenwood KDCW4527G and the Blaupunkt BLA-SCMP34. Both roughly £100, I reckon the Blaupunkt looks better, and so I'm leaning towards that. However, I'm wondering if there's any difference in how well the two players play mp3s and particularly how you navigate around a CD with several hundred tracks on it. Anyone got any experience with these models or suggestions for others?

I am fitting a Kenwood 7070R HU with the above graphic. My older HU's had a din output, but the 7070 has two phono outs. The 9042 has phono's and a DIN input (8 pin iirc). Is there any benefit to finding or making a lead to use the DIN or are the straight phono connectors the same? The problem with the phono outs on the HU is that they render the fader inoperative, instead relying on the...

Hi guys, hoping someone might be able to help a complete idiot when it comes to car audio. OK, here goes... I'm about to buy a 2 year old second hand Honda Jazz for my wife and it has a fairly tinny sounding radio with 2 speakers. The road noise is fairly high from the back and the speakers are right down by the drivers ankles so even with the radio up fairly high, its hard to hear anything...

Hi, I've jsut gotmyself a shiny new Sony CDXR 3300 (CD/MP3 player) for my Mk4 Fiesta (2000). Whilst it's sounding rather nice (with the OEM Ford fronts), it's distinctly lacking in low end. Firstly, will some decent rear speakers make up for this? (I noticed there are some speaker grills either side of the parcel shelf).

I have a new LineX transmitter to play CD players etc through my car radio, but the instructions blew out the window. Could anyone tell me the default frequency used and how to change the transmitted frequency using the channel selectors? Thanks Jane

Does anyone know if the Zafira Energy model comes with tweeters in the rear doors? I can't hear anything from the grilles whereas I can in the front. SO either they are not working or Vauxhall have penny pinched and not fitted any. If they are not there is there a cheap option to buy some? Thanks -- Steve

I should like to replace my radio/cassette player with a radio/cd player but haven't a clue which one to choose. Is there a website which gives advice and does reviews please? I am expecting to pay about £200. Thanks in anticipation.

I have a Blaupunkt Stockholm RCM 104 and I want to mute the radio and push the phone audio through the speakers when a call comes in. I have a Nokia car kit. I can manage the mute issue (car kit has the output and I know which is the mute input on the radio). The question is, can I also connect the audio from the phone to the radio so it plays through the speakers or do I need some intermediate...

Righto. Got a Volvo 340, no speaker grilles anywhere on the door cards, no speakers anywhere yet. Any ideas that don't involve hacking up the parcel shelf (making a stealth shelf isn't practical for a 340 either)? I'd ideally have 4 speakers, probably two could go into holes hacked in the doorcard assuming enough clearance for the window etc. There are a couple of cubbys that could be used for...

http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=XA300 Been looking at that and it does mention that it won't work without a CD changer connected, what I need to know though is will it work with an XA-C30 and 3 CD changers connected, as I have in my car? Basically I have recently bought a roofmount screen and 2 headrest screens, and am going to be getting a DVD player shortly plus a PS2 in...

I'm sure loads of you know about the Kenwood MASK unit's ribbon-related comedy - the continuously-flexing ribbon, linking the facia to the main unit, snaps after a couple of years use. I've just upgraded my old 8090R - the ribbon had just started to go. I thought I'd better get it replaced before I sold it on, and I...
