Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - spike2002 - 26-04-2012
looking good mate unusual colour i like it tho
how hard was it to do those headlights?
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 26-04-2012
cheers man! colour deffo grew on me, didnt like it first!
pretty easy actually, just some headlight film off ebay, then hairdryer and pull the backing film off as you go while smoothing out with thumb. theres a few air bubbles in mine, but you can only see them if you look close

Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - Matt - 29-04-2012
That is so cool, what modal and how much, need a new head unit
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - 4WayDiablo - 29-04-2012
Looks good mate. Looks like the new Sony bt HU
Really smart
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 29-04-2012
this one
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165474
i paid more than that for it, damn impulse buying! i paid £110 from the Redhill branch, that was with staff discount.
im a sucker for a gimmick, i only realisedd there wasn't a cd player when i was one the drive home after having installed it
yeah it does, proper smart! think i might have to do my centre fascia gloss black to compliment it... and another downfall, no bluetooth. ah well, if people want to talk to me, they can wait till i get home haha
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - 4WayDiablo - 29-04-2012
No CD player or Bluetooth? What happened to good quality music?
I really do think that's a good looking HU hope they have one with Bluetooth though. All the music I listen to in my car is via my phones Bluetooth :-)

high bitrate mp3zzz y0. can plug in either an ipod or a usb thumbdrive, pack it with cd quality tunes and off you f*ck. saves phone battery too. and is also a stashy
hole... might well do, get on das tinterwebz for a goosey google
prob be a bit more than 100 quid tho. i mainly went for this cuz i can control my ipod from it, it has a couple of pre outs, and ill be able to patch in my column stalk remote doodah
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - 4WayDiablo - 29-04-2012
Yeah did have a lil look and they have ones with CD player and Bluetooth all oddly for less than 110 :-P
My phone is always on charge in the car anyway ut yeah good buy still looks sexy:-)
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 29-04-2012
haha yeah i know, total impulse buy, was in halfords killing time (bad idea) with my birthday money burning a hole in my pocket (yet more bad ideas), saw it, played with it, and was like WANT. true story.
but yeah, chuffed anyway, sounds mildly better than the last one, or in my head it does anyway haha. looks sexual, and that's all that matters lol
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - 4WayDiablo - 29-04-2012
Like the separate sub out as well for that bit of control. Still got that feature?
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 29-04-2012
yep and sub volume control. basically have no idea about any f that shizz, even after read endless threads, might pinch the haynes ICE book from uni and get swotting. pre outs, amps, subs, what goes where, all over my head lol
deffo something about sub control in the menus tho, for when i get a cheeeap sub and amp set up for those nights im feeling chavvy and want to bang out the D&B
(jokes by the way, i cant stand d&b...)
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - 4WayDiablo - 29-04-2012
Yeah it has a separate sub out so you can control its volume from the HU rather than a remote :-)
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 29-04-2012
Cool, that's what I thought :-)
Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - Matt - 30-04-2012
Haha showed the misses and was like this is the headunit I want to get, isn't it cool has no cd player! She says, your not getting it I'd get pissed off. It being able to play CDs. Haha
So looks like I'm gettin this
really wind her up haha
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 30-04-2012
haha nice one! nothing better than pissing off the missus trololol
good thing is, it still has an aux in, so get her a cheapy discman off ebay, and giver her that haha
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - C.A.R. - 30-04-2012
Like the idea of that headunit with the hideaway bit, quite an old idea but more and more of them are appearing now.
I was going to upgrade my stereo recently, before discovering that there is such a shit choice at the moment. Seriously, the current range of headunits reflects the economic situation with the country right now; it's f*cked.
Instead I got a unit which tricks my cars stereo into thinking it has a cd changer fitted, when in actual fact I can charge and play from my iPod
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 30-04-2012
yep, thats what sold me to it! i wasn't even looking for a new one to be honest, just fell for the shiney shiney
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - TheGateKeeper - 30-04-2012
What GB can it recognise external HDD's to? My Alpine can only recognise 50gb
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 30-04-2012
the manual doesnt give a max capacity, but it does say that the max number of displayable data is 128 folders (albums) with a max of 500 tracks/files in each folder. so thats 64000 songs. average mp3 song size of average sound quality is 3-4MB, so thats about 256GB?
but in terms of actually recognising the bigger drives, if you cant get it in the 'hold', then you cant play back as you need to close the front to do so

You an get massive drives (like 500+GB) that are no bigger than your average phone so thats not going to be a problem I wouldn't think!
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 30-04-2012
very true, ipod just fits in nicely with a bit f room to spare, i guess they've designed in enough space to take the biggest ipod, so i figure, if its fits, it *should* work
