Ibiza DAB Edition

[norrie]

I'm glad I got mine when I did then.
A lot of people have said how good it looks.
I think most people assume it's a much sportier car than it is.
The only thing I'm a bit disapointed with is the ammount of fuel it uses.
I'm only getting about 32 MPG.
Thought I would have got high 30's at least.

Hi Norrie

KNow what you mean, so many people have commented on mine as well, I think it is the alloys that set it off the most, but aye it looks well sportly and I love the upholstery, it was well worth the wait eh?

I am getting an average of 36MPG, but I am not driving it to harsh, running it in and all that

 

[norrie]

Yeah I'm running it in also.
That's how I thought I would be getting better MPG.
Saying that there are roadworks at the end of my road and I'm having to wait nearly ten minutes each time so that wont be doing the MPG much good.
I've not really had the car out for a good run yet.
I was working overtime all last weekend.
Got to pay for the car somehow.
I know what you mean about the upholstery.
I wasn't sure about it after seing the pics but it looks much better in the cloth.
The whole car looks really sporty what with the steering wheel,seats and suspension.
I can't wait to get in down a twisty road on a dry day to see what it handles like.
It seems to have plenty of grip anyway.

I have got the Seat mats with the red trim in there and just sets off the upholstery perfectly.

Watch out on your radio though, i have to take mine back in, was driving along and the radio cut out and ws looking for the keycard. Got home put in the keycard and its not accepting it!! Strange.

I couldnt be more happy with the car apart from that and for the price, its a bargin. My pal has a 3 month old 1.4 Sport and it looks nothing compaird to the DAB

I thought the ride height was the same as the rest?

I actually meant to put wheels not suspension.
That's what being nightshift all week does to you.

I've got the mats with the red trim as well.
Got them thrown in for free.
Not had a problem with the radio.
I've got two 2gb cards all loaded up now.
Think I may order a 4gb and see if that works.
If not I can use it in my camera.

Hi There

What colour you getting.

I picked my Red DAB up last week and love it!!!

I'm getting mine in Black, plus I'm getting an alarm fitted at the dealer (some dodgy streets round here!). I've not been given a delivery date yet yet, but it'll be on an '07 plate.

Does anybody know what the biggest size SD card is that will work with the stereo?

 

[norrie]

I phoned Blaupunkt and was told 2gb.
However it states in the manual that it will only take up to 512.
I have seen places selling the stereo and selling 4gb cards to go with it so I think it will take a 4gb card.
I have a 2gb in mine at the moment and it works fine.
You can get over 30 albums on a 2gb card.
Wait until you get the car to make up the card as you have to format the card in the stereo before you can put files on it or it will not work.
Also it has to be in MP3 format.

Thanks for the info, I'll probably get a 4Gb since I'd rather not have my mp3 player and a big black wire flying around the inside of the car!

I've had my DAB 1.9 TDi for a few months now, and have just bought the 'proper' Blaupunkt iPod adaptor, which will allow the head unit controls to control the iPod. Has anyone tried one of these with the Nashville head unit?

I got a bit sick having to pick up the iPod to change songs and don't like having a wire stretching across the dash.
