Hi guys,
Well I though it was time I posted some pics of my car now I've finished this months mods. I've added foglights, a new head unit (which doesnt work with my VW iPod adapter
), and a full amp and new speaker install
Opinions welcome
Cheers,
Perky
Here the front:
Here the amp:
Here the crossover, mounted on the side of the dash console:
Here the new Blaupunkt Acapulco MP54 HU:

thats a really smart place to put the ipod adaptor, mine's sitting in the glovy. What happened to keeping original ICE?

Well I thought I'd blown the old Gamma HU up, but turns out the amp was the source of the problem - by that time id already ordered my new HU, which is much better anyway. Just a shame the iPod adapter doesnt work as intended with it.
I never actually fitted the iPod adapter there - VW did so I can blame them for the stupid positioning
Cheers,
Perky

You'll love wiring through the doors. My advice is be patient and take it one step at a time!
