    Standstill Burnouts????? Please read!

    I am still laughing at some of the posts. Why you would want to do massive burn outs and kill your tyres and get a big fine if you got caught I dont know. To add to this list I think if the car has a LSD then it can not have TC. Thats what I have heard anyway. My car is a ex cop with the cop...

    VY six stacker

    I had a single disc and there are no pre outs, you need to convert the speaker wires to RCA outputs for your AMP. I did this and after a couple of months I got the s**ts because of the eedback I was getting through the speakers (I could hear engine whinging through my speakers). People will tell...

    Which Pioneer Head Unit

    I recently installed the 5750 I totally rate it. It is a excellent HU. I brought it on ebay brand new for $270. There is a company that sells them all the time for that price so it is not a one off. Do a search and you will see what I mean, there us usually about 5 per day. Let me know if you...

    Police Code Update Failure !!

    You have the digital speedo on the dash and push one of the dash buttons the up one from memory and it locks the speed in with the words "Trap Seed" displayed. No real need in having it unless you are a cop.

    Police Code Update Failure !!

    Police speedo also has the "trap speed" function. Police use it to "trap" the speed of a person on their speedo ie, the speed they were following you at. So they can give you a ticket. Nothing worth having

    VY Steering wheel controls for Stereo

    It sure did. You use the existing controls and when you press one of the butons they send the request via infra red to the H/U. Only catch is the H/U needs to be infra red, ie has a remote. No pic's as of yet will post one if you like. Looks good.

    VY Steering wheel controls for Stereo

    Hey 12Volt King, I installed my CAT8 and can confirm that both the head unit and steering controls are working fine. The whinging noise has gone too!!!!!! Yay, must say that the sound quality is a 1000% better than the stock unit. Very very happy with my new system. Blaupunt is a quality name...

    The Kings guide to elimanating stereo noise.

    I tried all of these and in most cases they will work, in my case it didnt. So I solved the problem, not the most cost efficent way though. I brought a new head unit, ever since I have had great quality music with no engine, alternator interference. So glad I got rid of the stock HU, the sound...

    VY Steering wheel controls for Stereo

    Hey macdaddy, I think our problems are different. But, Check that your RCA and Power cable is not running close to each other. There is a part that you can buy that you put on the power cable and the idea is to stop engine noise being passed through the speakers. It is called a Car noise...
