    Default BIG Thanks to Phreddy @ ASR audio and electronics. Dash conversion.

    SURPRISE with pics.

    Recently I hear about this magician that can transform your interior into a dream come true by the name Phreddy, I quickly do my research and find out that he is actually located in Sydney.
    Walking away in distress I thought I'd visit his website for more info.

    I become very eager to get my hands on this magic and I begin my process of emailing, texting, filling in requests on his site, endless phone calls and many voicemails left but again walked away with no luck.
    However, taught to never give up, i picked up the phone once more time n gave him a buzz to see what's the deal....
    "Heya phreddy speaking, how can I help you":
    Me: pause pause pause pause......
    To my surprise this wasn't a voicemail. Lol
    I asked prices, colors, dash calibrations de da do.....
    So anyway, at the end of the convo I ask when he will be down at Melb next?
    Phreddy: well your in luck mate I'm just heading down to Melb now coming from adelaide.
    Me: ... when what how, sorry? Lol

    Sooooooooo.....

    Hey everyone,
    Got phreddys magic dash conversion done on my car today. :Woohoooo:

    I went with,
    Blue cluster with red needles,
    Blue power windows with red for the hazard button,
    Blue for the climate control, temp arrows are blue n red.
    Blue rear DVD and blue rear roof controls, rear power windows.
    Blue mode/set, headlight switch, ignition ring, steering controls, paddle shifts.
    Blue for the auto shifter with the PWR & A/S buttons in red, as Phreddy says "when u want the extra power hit the red buttons." Lol

    For anyone thinking about it, it is one of the best mods you can do, it's like a completely new car now. Honestly I was driving slow at the start as if I had just bought a new car. :P

    If your concerned about your dash being pulled apart to pieces or anything along those lines, don't, because Phreddy knows exactly what he is doing and has done it many times to the stage where he has lost count. Lol
    He is highly experienced with his soldering skills and trust me until you see the hard work involved in soldering these LEDs you won't know the skills required.

    Phreddy was great with handling of the car parts and is very cautious of everything he had to pull apart. He returned everything back the same way it was and every screw removed was back in it's original spot.
    He's very friendly and a great person to work with, you can choose any color combo from red, white, blue, yellow, orange, green i think thats almost every color in the light spectrum. Lol
    Best thing about this is that it's done right in front of you so there is nothing to hide.

    The end result is well worth it.

    A big thank you to Phreddy/aka Greg.
    Your a legend.

    Be sure to visit his website to get in contact with him @ http://www.asr-audio.com.au/index.html

    Cheers,
    Dave from Melb.

    awesome write up Dave!

    Just goes to proove that Greg is hard to get in contact with, thats no hidden secret, but persevere and its worth it.

    And yes, as much as people think its easy to solder off the old LED and solder on the new LED when you watch him at work you realise its not as easy as piecing together an old Jaycar kit or wiring up a new set of speakers!

    and if you chat to him while he's doing it, he'll give you the run down on how he got to those particular leds and what he's learnt throughout the time. You realise just how much experience he has, even picking the right coloured LED!

    BTW that colour combo looks awesome!

    Love it.... WL dashes are a work of art even before Greg hits them... Then once he's done - Well - It's a whole other league!

    You started driving everywhere with your parkers on yet just to see the dash?
