It was a long day for Mikey and Rob fitting my ICE and other bits

The Full spec
Clarion DVD VRX878RVD
Clarion Nav NAX973HD
MINI OEM reversing camera fitted in boot handle
Parrot 3100 Blue tooth phone kit mounted on Tacho
Clarion Video Ipod connection in glovebox
All of above are fully integrated into MFSW
Kenwood 350 watt amp under passenger seat
Clarion cross over speaker upgrade
Sound deadening material
Night breaker bulbs in dipped, main & spots
Halo Side lights with Blue Diadem indicator bulbs
Auto up passenger window mod
Alarm
12 volt power supply in the boot
Nokia phone charger connection under switch panel

As I say it was a long day for Mikey and Rob mainly due to Clarion integration into MFSW that did not go to plan as Clarion have upgraded their interface loom which prevented the parrot from operating via the MFSW. In true fashion Mikey worked it out after having to de-install some components which put them behind time.

Never the less Mikey and Rob soldiered on and handed me back a perfect job just before 2000 hrs - how many other establishments would have carried on working after 1700 on a Friday to complete the job.

Many thanks boys for an excellent job.

I am really happy, as is Jan, we have loaded up lots of our Italian addresses that we need for when we move - this will make things easier for Jan getting around in new territory, the extra functionality of the sat nav with POI and full addresses including phone numbers is an added bonus.
Still getting to grips with all of the functionality as there are so many options.

A few pics.

More pictures

Just realised that I have not taken photos of the Parrot, Sat Nav DVD location or Amp - will have to do that tomorrow.

On top of having a great ICE system I can now see where I am going at night as the Nightbreaker Bulbs are excellent, they are even better than the 85 watt ones I have in the other car.

Top job Milkey

looks well.


See for the crossovers do they fit under the door cards ok or do you have to modify them?

thinking of upgrading the H/K while I'm soundproofing to get rid of the rattle

If you position the crossovers correctly and remove the covers then they just fit behind the door covers without any problem

Hi Damo
I am not sure what you mean by white speedo face - it is Black as normal. Or am I missing something that you have noticed and I have not ??

Hi mate,

in that first picture taken from the boot of the car (on the first post), the speedo looks like a white speedo :confused:

It maybe the flash or something, but then the Rev counter looks like every other GP i've seen :confused:

Now I see what you mean - it is black as normal, must be the light / flash giving it grey / whitish hue. In all of the other pictures it is clearly black

It must be the flash off of the clear plastic cover :)
