why on earth did you do that???

its like swapping a stagea for a falcon wagon

[bbenny]

haha I thought the same thing!

I reckon there are much better buys out there, that's for sure. I have mine displaying GPS 98% of the time & playing music from USB or Ipod. I've never tried playing movie files (I guess I can use the TV tuner for that) & I've had similar erroneous performance with BT as well. The other thing is I can't get some DVDs to play because of their menu structure, so it's probably great value for <$700-$800 but otherwise I'd buy something else.

Pretty flash for a people mover tho .

I'm impressed with my Clarion. For $500 it does iPod, DVD, CD, MP3, AV-in and the BT support seems pretty good, on my Android phone anyway.

Like you said Leon, you can always use your tuner for movie files. I got one of those on the weekend from Brad, and he wired it all up for me. Pretty impressed so far!

Couple of little bumps at first. Learnt to leave the volume on the tuner to midrange, because if you set it up too high the audio will just clip and sound average.

Do you know if there's a way to alter the colour/contrast on the factory screen, or through the tuner? Mine is a bit too orange.

Ryan press the bottom right button on your dash. It will show you the contrast menu. What have you decided with the handbrake? I have thought of a circuit using a relay and the amplifier trigger to turn it on. That black box you were looking at would mean taking the dash out again I think.

P.S I was impressd with your clarion aswell.

ok my head unit is now wired in, tuner to the aux input, all working and extremely happy!!

i can operate the aux and still have the ipod plugged in

i guess you guys cant due to the optical drive taking up one of the 4 selection points on the screen. so it changes the USB/ipod one to AUX when nothing is plugged in.

me=happy as!

just gotta get a wire down to the rear to activate the aux input to the tv tuner so i can show ipod videos on the screen.

The guys at Clarion told me that shouldnt be happening, and to take it back to Autobarn and get them to look at it.

They also told me that Autobarn should be able to give me the unlock code, so I havent ordered the black box yet. Like you said Brad, software solution will be best, so I'll keep on that for now. No hurry really.

Did you look into the wireless cameras? There is one which has Xtrail specific mounts pretty cheap, was thinking of taking a punt.

Why do you guys say that? the eboost 2 has heaps better functions than the profec b????

[zei20l]

a falcon probably has more functions than a stagea, but that doesnt mean it does any of them better!

when it comes down to it, an EBC can have a million functions, but youll use it on the high setting all the time. after its set, you wont touch it again.

I fell better now....I thought I was the only one to do that.

[Sunkist]

Well being that my car is currently standard i had 2 settings low boost 10spi and high 14.

I run around with it on low all the time! just sometimes felt like putting it on 14 and throwing it around corners sideways!

don't you have one!!!!!!!....yet another reason why you are not even close to being AWESOME like Ian and myself.

there is a cheaper way to regulate boost. dont open the throttle as far and dont rev the engine harder than you need to.

ive never understood why people have 2 or more boost settings. if one is for rainy weather, just dont accelerate as hard. its quite simple.

iaiaiaiain for once in my life i think i actually agree with you on this!

[zei20l]

Verms this is NO attack on you or anyone in particular.

if you (anyone) cant control boost via your right-foot, then its time to do an advanced driving course.

i drove my S15 around with no boost controller on it at all (ie maximum boost from the turbo potentially) for over 2 weeks. didnt blow anything up! im also not that good a driver and i managed it
