A bit of googling carpc sites and I have it sorted! Woohoo! It was the REM caled, cheers but for pointing me in the right direction. Instructions only help if you have a standard head unit!

Sat Nav now working too!

Just need to sort those pesky switches!

What surprised me was the fact that I sprayed the console a silver that matched the vents....on applying the laquer, it darkened it slightly. Turns out its a match with the original colour!! Not my plan at all!

No worries. How have you wired the remote in?

Smokey · 27-03-12, 08:45 PM

To the ignition cable where the head unit used to be plugged in. Same as the sub actually.

Smokey · 27-03-12, 08:48 PM

Defo need to get me some of these in the near future.....

The sub is wired into the ignition?!

Smokey · 27-03-12, 09:59 PM

It was there when I bought the car...red/yellow wire I believe. And I mean the power cable that goes to the head unit and only has power when ignition is on.....?

I meant that bit, why is the sub wired in to the ignition? Do you mean the amp? Or is this an active sub? Or is it late and Ive misread something?

~Sorry no, its an active sub I think. ahs an amp built in to it.
