To be honest I did not watch them do it, There is a car yard right across the road from them that always has a heap of e46's in there so i was wandering around there going pfffft not as good as mine, and pffffft they want that for it, then i was just generally playing with the salesman asking him question's he had no idea about but tried to sound as if he did, hahahaha was a bit of a hoot really. lol

Yeah they did not to bad of a Job, Looks better in person than in the photo's, Would i use them again ?? , No not at the price that it was valued at which is $89, I only got it because of the $40 voucher.

Redeemed my voucher for an express wash , wax and polish and wheels detailed.

My spidy sensors are tingling.

Sounds like you have already made your mind up and you are just wanting people to say buy it.

Mate you cannot just slink off into the background, Pics are mandatory.

I added an extra 50bhp by putting these aerodynamic surrounds on.

Is it just me or has the airbag not gone off, Something of a whack that size to the side i would have thought it would have popped the bags.

Kevin Burt is pretty good, Just tell him you want an inside and out inspection and he will see you right, Or even grab a member off of here to have a look at a car with you, An extra set of eyes when looking can make all the difference in picking up the small things. I had the e46 inspected by Jeff Gray and they did a pretty good job, Pick up a couple of really small items but none that I was worried about.

Sure does, The only thing extra you need is if you have factory nav, If thats the case you need a Fakra cable other wise you are good to go. Here are some Q@A's for anybody thats intrested. Q: Do you have full ipod control correct? A: mostly, see the above post for detail. Q: Does it has tv reception? A: Yes. You'll need to grab an antenna off ebay or such. Tuner is built in though. Not sure if it will work in the USA on the new digital standard. Q:dvd's play no problem when you are driving? A:Yes. You have to ground the parking brake wire, just like on any other DVD setup. It even tells you how to in the instructions. Q: Do Navi maps work fine when ipod or something else is playing? A: Yes Q: Do Album cover's of the songs show up on the screen when in iPod mode? A: No, it does not Q: What Maps are included? A: USA and Canada, iGo map updates can be purchased online for about $50 Q: Do Steering Wheel controls work? A: Steering wheel controls work for radio/dvd/ipod/cd. Newer versions have steering wheel control for Bluetooth although older units can be updated by replacing the old steering wheeel control interface with the new one from dynavin. Q: Is the CD Changer Compatible? A: No, it is not. Q: Can you play Ipod Video? A: Yes but the actual ipod connection that comes with the unit does not seem to support it. You can use a ipod>A/V plug and connect it to the AUX IN to use ipod for video. Q: How many Aux ports are there? A: unit has 2 aux in ports. One standard A/V (yellow, red, white RCAs) and one "DVD USB" Not sure what that one is ....USB Hard drive???? Flash Drive???? Q: Where is the Mic A: The unit comes with a built in mic on the unit (lower left corner) and a wired external mic. There's plenty of wire to mount it in the factory location. The mic just uses a standard 3.5mm jack. Q: How does Bluetooth work? A: Bluetooth is controlled 3 ways. You dial on the phone and once you hit send, the stereo picks it up and switches over to the bluetooth screen on the unit. You touch the screen and return to the home screen and then click bluetooth. Then you use the dial pad on screen or use the phonebook feature on the screen. You press the large button in the lower right corner of the unit. It takes you to the bluetooth screen. Then you use the dial pad on screen or use the phonebook feature on the screen. Q: Does Satelite Radio work? A: If you have a tuner that uses RCA and you can pluig it into the AUX in but there is no integrated support for sat radio. Q: Where is the ipod connector located? A:in the back or the front? in the back, but it comes with a cable so you can place it where you want Q: Does this required the use of the AC Relocation Kit? A: Yes, you can get it from tischer or eurospec or pelicanparts, see the bottom of this page for details: Note: You can do it without the relocation kit, I ran mine for a few weeks until my kit turned up, It just slots into where your sunglass holder used to be and does not flop around. I got the kit because i wanted everything buttoned up correctly. Q: Does this require cutting into the AC Ductwork? A: No Q: Do i need to use DICE with this system? A: No Q: Would the unit allow for firmware upgrades if the unit had bugs, and Dynavin released updates? A: Yep. They said that they will periodically release firmware updates that can be loaded on a USB memory stick or on the microSD card and installed. Q: Can you play avi/divx files off of the sd card or memory stick as well? A: Yes, off the memory stick. Have not tested with SD card. Q: Is it possible to get "names" on the radio channels, or does it just display the frequency? A: Yes, RDS data is available but only with a workaround as US-RDS data is technincly not supported. In the radio settings menu you will need to set "radio region" to "europe" and turn RDS on and turn "tune time" off or your clock will get screwed up from the stations sending inacurate RDS time data. This allows the RDS data to be displayed regardless of region. Q: how does the ipod integration work. will i be able to swich songs on the steering wheel? A: Yes, see the above post for details. Q: Does BMW Assist continue to function or will we loose that functionality? A: No idea. I don't have BMW assist to test. Q: Is it possible to make the built in microphone work with this unit? A: Anything's possible. The unit uses a standard 3.5mm jack, so if you can wire the stock mic to a plug like that, then it should work.

I have this mate, Its got cd player and usb and sd in, Detachable faceplate, 52x4 , I had it in my e36 when i had it, Its all orange back lit and a perfect match with the orange of the dash lights etc. I know you need one with aux input but this does not have it i am afraid. Do you really need it ??.

Nick are you after one for your e36 ??

Oh bugger, hahahahaha i guess you have to be in christchurch.

Dunno if anybody else gets the daily emails from these guys for your region each day, Todays one was for a wash plus wax and polish and inside detail while you have your coffee for $40. I grabbed one, Never used these guys before so will be keeping a very close eye on what they are doing and how they are doing it. Not a bad price though for what you (are supposed) to get. >> Clicky me<<

If one was to lets say get a set of actual euro plates, where about's would one look that's is a reputable place to do this. They of course would be just for looks

I guess its all how you configure it, Mine runs very smooth and imo is much better than igo8.3. I have tried most of them and have settled on primo, As long as you add the Gurjon skin its a neat navigation system.

I know this is a bit of shamless self promotion but over the weekend i upgraded the igo 8.3 software to igo primo 1.1 with green routing. I have found primo a lot better than igo 8.3 and also managed to get my hands on the march of this year release maps and speed cams for it as well. Thought i might as well come up with a better boot screen for it and this was the end result.

There must have been so much work that went into that. Friken amazing and credit where credit is due. Well worth the watch.

Just ordered mine, Yeah i am old and slow

Gotta admit that's one bad-ass car , Escapes me how it even remotely resembles an e30 though.

Get a perm (so you can blend in)

Yup Glenn is spot on, I have a little button next to mine that folds the mirrors, Can't say i have ever used them much in fact pretty much forget that the option is there to do it. I am guessing you can have it coded for them to fold when you stop.

Maybe its a bond style car and they spin around shooting bullets.

Yup was full on here in chch, I was at work and had to evacuate 60 people, Alot of frightend and worried people. Huge cracks though our factory's floor and alot of other damage, Main thing is nobody was hurt.

Bugger i would get a set but my front trim is for the standard nz style plate and not the euro trim.
