New Toys!

Here you can post things about ICE (In Car Entertainment). Like how to install GPS navigation, a DVD-player and other yuppie-stuff. This category might be moved to "those other things" in the end...

Just got meself an Alpine CDM-9825RB Headunit from www.cel-direct.com and quite nice it is too!

Almost feeling the need for better speakers, amps, sub etc as my kenwood stuff isn't quite up to standard.

Ooops. Wired me sub up to constant +ve by mistake on the switchover.

By the way, for anyone who's interested, I bought an adapter lead from halfords. There's a lot in there, mostly the same at different prices. For example, I picked up a sony one which would convert my '92's wiring to that of the Alpine, which seems standard on most stereos now. It was £30. The same lead for a ford was £13!? The one marked volvo 440/460/480 was wrong as in it was the opposite connection...

mines also an alpine (9803r) great unit and pretty cheap for the quality, although im not much of a fan of their speakers, there's very little depth to them
