Bah humbug...much ado about nothing. Spent like half an hour pointlessly roaming round in circles in Manchester city centre (traffic's a nightmare) cos I was gonna meet my mate at Victoria station which was nearby, only to find they didn't have what i want in stock
What brightened up my day is that I took my mum with me...and by chance my mate saw my car and pulled along side me, rang my phone and honked, saw him lower his window (my mum didn't know what was going on), and when i lowered mine making some hand gestures, she thought i was starting on some random guy in their car
@modified madness: I was gonna get it installed over there at the shop. On another note, how do you take the door cards off on a Mk 6? And the A pillar trim for that matter. i'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard to install myself, as i'm into electronics
And any way to route the ipod cable into the dash? Would i have to take the dash out or something (and is the gromet to put wiring through the firewall behind the glove box too?)
One more thing: Apparently, the VW HU only puts out like 8W RMS (I've been told), wheras most aftermarket ones are around 20W RMS. I've also heard the stock speakers are actually rather decent (25W RMS) and some people have actually amped them without issues. Is there any way to try amping them with say a 35-40 W RMS amplifier using the stock wiring to see what they sound like? Or is this a bad idea?
Oooh and before I forget, seeing as I have a changer, where can i get that cubby box for when I just have a head unit (as in where the changer would have been) and a fascia adaptor?
Thanks!
Ash
Oh, and I should add here, I love this forum...everyone's willing to help newbies like myself, no matter how silly the questions may be. Cheers!
