Looking forward to the Piccies..


That GDE flash will be interesting, should make a huge difference, Glens has worked a treat. Wish they had one for my CRD.





Dont worry about all the tales of woe, thats what the place is for, to solve woes, so we cant help fix em if you dont tell us about them.

Lookin good Rossow.
How well does your Ipod connector work? Our Belkin dock just doesn't seem
to cut it.

There are a couple ways you can overcome the fm transmitter issues. First way is to install a direct ipod connection into your radio, not sure how expensive it would be but it is available and there is a video on youtube showing the how to's. The second way is to install an fm modulator, there is a thread on it. Both you have to take the radio out anyway. Me personally id go with the direct connection as I have an fm modular like Rossow's and wires every where and it isn't as good a quality as a direct connect would be but I have an ipone and use a tomtom handsfree kit which needed the fm modulator, however in saying that mine is always crystal clear and only now and then do I need to change the tuning so there is no static interferance.

I've found the FM modulator a good solution.
Around bris the 2 frequency's are both fairly free and open so no interferance found so far.
The stereo in my KJ is standard and pretty weak as it is so the sound quality is poor to start with. By poor i'm comparing it to the aftermarket stezza I had in my old celica. Amp'd subs and all!
I put this i so that the kids could listen to their music off my iPhone. I'm pretty impressed by this $58 mod. I'll be putting one into the Aurion as well I think.

Cheers
Rossow.
