To install an aftermarket headunit you need 4 adaptors: 1) an adaptor to go from car to the unit itself. http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=CARPI221 this adaptor is for Pioneer units and will let you use your steering wheel controls. You'll have to use search engine...

Hi guys, I have a tiny 15" sub and two amps to add to my car (might downgrade to 12" sub later - borrowed off a friend to see how it goes) - but where do you all run your wires to your setup? Is there a nice easy way of doing it - do you have any tips or tricks? Cheers, Alix

I'm in the market for a portable satnav (leaning towards Garmin Nuvi 310D) but would rather not have one stuck on my windscreen all the time. I wondered if anyone has done a simple install in the space infront of the gearstick or anything?

Saturday 16/06/07 I ground the bottom left corner off my ATP manifold. Then, I thought I'd bolt the turbo to the manifold to get an idea of the size of it and exactly where it would sit in the engine bay. A quick peek down the back of the engine made me realise it would be well...

I'm looking for a basic sub and amp which will do the job to provide some bass on top of the standard LCR stereo system. I've already got a new HU which improved the sound quality from the standard speakers no end - but need bass to set it off. Will an active box, a la this do, or are they...
