some vxr8 question

[stigmundfreud]

The Radio, does it support the iPod in any way shape or form?

The sat nav, or rather the unit itself. The car isnt coming with the nav dvd or whatever it is but the kit is in the car. Is it a hdd or DVD and if so who actually makes it?

Its got an input jack on it for AUX stuff so yeah.

Takes MP3 disc's as well so pretty easy to keep 100 or so albums stored just using the CD changer. Saves the cables.

[stigmundfreud]

cheers drew but I want to keep everything bone stock for now. So it does take MP3 disks? Good

Juat as well, use the i pod on mine cause the radio is crap...........

[ringram]

Stig, did you even look at anything before you bought it?

The bluetooth phone works quite well too.

Does it? Mine doesn't!

[stigmundfreud]

i saw a phone button and enquired about bluetooth, my main consideration was rightfoot and steering related the rest was insignificant. I did notice the handbrake is made for old spackers, the material finish is from a nissan 350z, the seat has no memory and the mirrors are small, st and have that retarded magnifying issue that we all had on the old monaro.

.. Well sometimes it takes a while to reestablish the link. But once its linked its fine. I take it you have bonded the phone to the car?
The default pin is 1234 IIRC.

so do you

I find the most bluetooth car kits are pretty rubbish in anything that makes a good mechanical noise.

Stick with an ear piece if you want to be heard properly at the other end.

[stigmundfreud]

personally I hate mobile phones, the idea of phones in a car even more so and with my usual posting style I wont say what I think about ear pieces

Driver's door mirror is quite dangerous. Well, I am when I use it, even when I'm trying to be careful. And no auto-dimming rear view? I love the parking sensors though - the display is helpful. Handbrake has as much bite as my old nan, bless.

monaro was calais based so we were spoilt

Did it have the rotating knob on the steering wheel rim to make it easier to park? Great for arthritic wrists.

[ringram]

Yeah Ive got used to the mirror. The Bluetooth is ok, you have to shout a bit, but that makes it fun shouting at customers and colleagues alike A headset is probably better for audio quality. But then you look like some trekky geek. Better to be red faced, shouting and spitting, it looks better to the person in front of you who wont get out of the way!

[stigmundfreud]

its got enough knob in the drivers seat

Put in a quieter motor like a V6 !


I have become paranoid about looking out the side window at roundabouts.
