Hiya Dave - I could still do yours that way if you like, just a matter of altering the wiring a little from the button we mounted in your console. You could either leave the old button in there, or fill the hole with a 16mm trim plug. Ah, damn - I forgot to send those updated sub box plans to you too, didn't I??? Brace yer inbox Mate, on the way as soon as I've posted this.

Aperfectcircle - can organise that for you Mate - shoot me an e-mail and we'll talk. BTW - can I assume you got your kit installed OK? :D

Oh, and how I did it - a lot of buggering around with wet&dry sandpaper, a little work with Corel Draw, some printing onto specialised clear label film, trimming, a little painting, and a couple of coats of satin estapol to finish off. Oh, plus there was a little messing around to install the additional yellow LED for the active indicator.

Oh, I should mention that I'm only able to bo the BLACK ones - the "tempest" (metallic grey colour) ones I've not figured out a way to do yet. See, the original buttons are painted over a white translucent cap, then the paint is etched or engraved away where the marking shows through. As I don't have the equipment for that kind of stuff, I had to do things a bit differently. That though doesn't allow me to replicate that grey colour - what a bummer!! :b:

Cheerz guys, later!

It reminds me of what someone else did on another forum.

But it was for his carputer instead, but his did not light up.

Phreddy, I'd like to congratulate you an a problem well solved, I have been trying to work out a way to connect my ipod to my original HU without loosing the wheel controls or going the FM modulator route for a while now. I would love for you to work you magic on my syst but alas, I live in Townsville. However I will be moving to Sydney next year. If you know of any way to get it done sooner, i'm all [email protected]
