  1. Hi all,

    Need a bit of help here. 

    I installed a Pioneer stereo, subwoofer, and new speakers in my 335i E90 (manufactured 2007). It all sounds great, however as expected I've lost the parking sensors (PDC) and steering wheel controls (less concerned about that). I disabled the under-seat woofers. 

    The original spec of the car was the 'base' audio system, so six speakers and no tweeters. No iDrive. Amplified from the factory head unit I believe; no separate amplifier. 

    I know I need a Connects2 adapter/harness to get the PDC back, but I'm not sure which one to get. 

    A local online shop has these (though not sure of stock or whether it's in-country):

    Are any of these what I'm looking for? Don't want to get the wrong on...

     

    Cheers,

    James

    nothing like playing insurance roulette eh?  From having your claim denied, insurance cancelled, and even a permanent record with the insurers, due to undisclosed modifications?  No thanks.  You might enjoy that game; I could not recommend it.

    "have you ever had insurance cancelled or refused?"  An insurance record lasts forever.

    YMMV.

    Exactly. I'll be up front about it. I'll check with my existing company first. I'm in a safe spot in that I haven't done anything yet.

  3. Hey all - obviously this depends on the company (in this case Provident), but I’m looking for people’s experiences. I’ve already paid for a year of cover on the basis that my vehicle isn’t modified, which it isn’t. However, I am interested in doing some performance tuning this year. Obviously I would tell them that I’m doing this, but I was wondering how badly this affects the premium?
