2005 LCR Question

[bry]

Bear with me - I have bought a revo LCR without actually seeing one although I did drive an older LC. The LCR should of been mine yesterday!!!

Do the side mirrors auto fold down when you park?

It has an anti-dazzle rear view mirror - does this really work (electronically)

It isn't coming with an autochanger - which is the best one to fit, a sony T69? I am guessing that it does not need any cables and will simply plug into the glovebox. An alternative is that I want to connect my mp3 to he aux i/p - is there an easy way of doing this?

Thanks for the help

Obvous questions will probably stop when I get the car next week

You have to turn the mirror switch, they dont auto fold when you park. Anti dazzle, I doubt they'd fit them if they didn't do anything.... On the CD changer you'll need to get an interface cable from your dealer no matter what CD changer you fit, they dont factory fit them any more. The standard head unit has no aux...

Anti-dazzle is not standard but prob one from A3, i have one and it works well, even better if you turn it upside down then its not shielded by centre rear headrest!

If you get the T70 rather than the T69 it has MP3 playback capability off CDs. You'll probably need a Connects2 adapter as well (£50)

I think rain sensing and antidazzle is standard on the new revo LCR's at the moment but I'll know soon hopefully.

Middle headrest shouldn't be a prob as I'll take it out - not really a five person in a car guy.

what do u mean when you say new "revo LCR's"????

Sorry - revolution - just the Seat promo, taking 2.5k of the OTR price - was the only reason I looked at buying one

 

[Pabs]

gotcha - thought it came remapped for free

Revo is also the name of a tuning company

The 'only' reason, surely because they go quite well and are fun to drive too

Aye, I should be finding that out now - as it is till the DVLA/Dealer/PO get their ass in gear, all I have had is a 10 min test drive in a 05 Leon Cupra with rusty brakes

Be sure to let us know what you think when you get it........then we can fill your head with 100 ideas on how to modify it

 

[bry]

will do - open to loads of suggestions as long as it is not too much 'hands on'

I did enough of that when I was too young and stupid to own a car like this

 

[Ruddmeister]

This is at the more extreme end of things....

Well to be honest, having an extra 95 bhp in a lighter car will be enough for me for a while.

The car is certainly impressive and probably unique, bet the insurance is a killer

Had a look for the T70 and none of my usual 'searchers' have it available yet - must be pretty new - saw the product details but no price.

Are you saying that I will have to buy a connector that costs 50 quid??? What a rip off!

anti-dazzle mirrors are great, takes a bit of getting used to, very odd at dawn/dusk because of the daylight sensor. rain sensing wipers are good too, first couple of times mine came on, i freaked, is happening!!!!!!!!!.
only time they get really annoying is on the motorway in spray, when they go into "spastic mode" and go so fast they'll probably want to fly off at any moment.

these are standard on my peugeot, might be slightly different on the LCR, have you got dusk sensing auto headlights as well??

 

[bry]

Haven't got anything yet, but no don't think so - anti daz and rain sensors are listed on Seat website, headlights are self leveling but not sensing as far as I know

The T70's been out a couple of years I think. Occasionally you'll see them on ebay. this place has them (although I paid £75 for my changer second hand):

http://www.caraudiodiscount.com/acatalog/sony_cd_minidisc_changers.html scroll down to Sony CDX-T70MX.

You'll need the adapter to convert the SEAT lead to the Sony changers, but you only need this for Sony changers. When you actually see what it is you'll wonder how it's £50!! The other option is you make a custom adapter yourself but I have no idea what the pin outs are.
