New toy too cheer me up

Postby billz » Sun 11 Sep, 2011 19:23

After the trouble with the car being resprayed and feeling pi--ed off i decided to treat myself to a new head unit. It has loads of features too many to list but am quite happy with it.

Excuse my ignorance (no surprise to you all there) but in winter when your heater is on full blast won't it knack the unit?

You can retract it at any time and use the front controls instead of the touch screen. Pics 3 and 4 have it still playing.

Its got 137 Button illuminations but dont think i will be trying them all :D
Not got it set up yet for the DVD as you need to attatch it to the brake so you can only use it when parked (law) but i am installing a flick switch in the glove box to combat this. (unlawful) :D

It is only unlawful if they catch you!

Honest guv'nor, I never put that switch there, I thought it was standard :roll:

I'll need to stop clicking on things in the "boyz toyz" forum. Everytime I see something like this I think how nice it would look in my car, my poor wallet can't take much more. Nice unit Billz :thumb:
