Exactly. Done it once with no music and after a couple hours away from Brissy all I could get was country music and talk back.

Got a dash cam and installed it yesterday.
Here's a pic of the USB port "installed" where the old centre speaker used to live.

Ask away, more then happy to share what I know.

And BTW, I will get some real pics of the car but I can't show it until i've at least cleaned it up a bit, been way to flat out with detailing other peoples cars to even consider doing mine yet.

Found some time the last few days so started cleaning up the car.

Inside is now clean, all that greasy crap they put everywhere is gone and feels like a new car again.
Shampooed the carpets and mats, deep cleaned the leather, prob about 6 hours into it so far.
I haven't put anything on the plastics or leather yet, and the windows are filthy.

And yes it does have DVD players in the back head rests.

And my job this morning was cancelled so I thought I would use the time to give it a wash.
Ended up deep cleaning the engine bay and all door jambs, Cleaned around all the badges and trim, removed fallout (tons of iron particles on the back of the car, and a fair bit all round, took me nearly a dozen repeats on the back before I got it all)

Since I will be polishing it after I used a Clay mitt as it is already swirled to hell so a couple more won't hurt at this stage, and it's way quicker then a clay bar.

Gyeon Q2M Iron
http://gyeonquartz.com.au/product/iron/

In general i'm a very big fan of the Gyeon Products, tried a heap of them and they all work very well.

Clay mitt/clay cloth/clay towel is kinda like a microfibre cloth with a rubberised backing. Removes medium/heavier decontaminants but can leave some fine marks or lightly mar the paint on some cars, since i'm going full paint correction on the wagon this didn't really matter.

This is the one i'm using at the moment and very happy with it, seems to be gentler on paint then some other ones.

Works great on windscreens and glass BTW.

Gyeon Q2M Iron I had to take my back to CCP when they were at Coorparoo. It stinks.
I had it in the garage unopened 5LT.
The garage was open I was about 10 mitres away and could smell it.
I know they use it at CCP Brisbane they told me when I took it back.
I use Wolf`s.
