New head unit fitted.

**badback** · 24th January 2011, 17:53

Finally got my new head unit in, everything works really well, apart from the reversing camera, because it's such a tight fit trying to get all the wires stowed away I managed to snap the reversing cam wires, and to be honest I'm not in any hurry to fix it, as I doubt I'll be using it much anyway. The bluetooth auto connects to my phone as soon as the head unit powers up, and performs really well, the tv is surprisingly good, whenever I've parked up, the picture has been perfect up to now. I've only used the sat nav once but that seems to work well, and it tells me off if I go above the speed limit lol. I've got an 8gb sd card in with loads of music on, plus a usb socket and ipod connection in the glove box. My pure highway dab which is installed in the overhead sunglasses holder works fine with it, because of this, it was doing my head in not having anywhere to put me shades, so bought a sunglasses holder that replaces the drivers grab rail. All in all very pleased with it, and the crease in the middle of the unit doesn't bother me at all, so there's no need to get the blow torch out on the dash strip lol. A big thank you to Paulsri150 aswell for helping me with it.

There's loads of Pure highway dabs on ebay and a few other makes aswell. Yes it did work with my original cd30, I think it'll work with any radio that has FM.

I know your from Denmark Ken, but you're speaking in a language I don't understand lol "Fakra"? It was just plug and play really, the hardest part is stowing all the wires.

I had to get the cage out and cut the back off it, it will probably go a bit further in with a little persuading but after snapping the cam wires I didn't want to force it in anymore. I'm happy as it is. Yes my car is full canbus mate.
