Had the day off so washed, Waxed and debaged White VXR8

[dazerc]

Had the day off today so i washed and waxed my new VXR8. Also debadged the front Vaux badge.

I also installed my RCA cables into the rear Aux for my Ipod so I can now play films and use my Ipod for Music. The only downside is the video cuts out over about 5mph. So i'll need the VIM module to allow video while moving.

When I was installing the AUX cables in the side of the head unit I already had a cable in both the audio and video input sockets. I took them out and everything still works.

I thought it might have been for the rear parking sensors or for the bluetooth but they all work fine. So it could just be factory pre wired for factory satnav or for the rear overhead DVD player that they get as an optional extra in AUS.

What a monster. Exhaust pipes look a little small though!

Where's the rear aux input? on the head unit or in the rear of the car?

Why de-badge ? Embarrassed ?

Don't like the black wheels.

Its on the head unit. You have to take off the drivers side panel to the centre console.

Thanks for that I will have a look. Do you attach your I pod through this?

Rear Badge is gross, lob it off, helps with the balance of the car + you can use as a Frisbee for the dog!

You then need to buy a RCA cable
something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VGA-to-TV-Conve

Then you will need a Ipod to RCA cable like this

The cables look like this




You then need the VIM Video In Motion kit

I'm sure it was more expensive a few weeks ago.

You can see how much they are charging for the cable loom £52 for something you can make for about £5-6
