higgsy Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Cams look fairly easy to install. Is it one that replaces a number plate light or the boot opening button? I think you can get wireless ones too. The hardest bit is going to be routing it through the boot lid and into the roof lining I would say, hopefully won't be too hard to follow the existing loom through. Fitted many sub's/amps back in the day so getting it from the boot to the front should be a doddle. Deffo one for a warm sunny day unless you have a garage. As for upgrading the os on the unit, I admire your optimism but I think this would be a massive feat, even for a full blown dev! I'm pretty certain there won't be any after market firmware for it (cyanogenmod/asopa etc) so you be starting from absolute scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowed_Hero Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 You can buy the digital antenna for this unit it's ready to go I just thought I could find the antenna for cheaper than £30 lol. I'll give it ago on the radio side but as long as it looks good, my music sounds and the DVD player works for the little one I'll be happy :D Delivery is estimated for next Wednesday (fingers cross). The camera is a basic replacement for the existing plate light... Looks easy enough (famous last words) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowed_Hero Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Quick trip to Halfords tonight ended up with my first little tweak! Seeing as the connections were there I added some footwell lights LED of course ;) Apologies for the dirty floor aha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Good little mod and even better that you had the wiring in place. I had to make the loom myself. You need some mats man. I can recommend the genuine ford tailored rubber mats. 30 quid for the full front/back set. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=360707244351 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowed_Hero Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'll have a look dude cheers! I do like fabric though aha! Another mod tonight! Some carbon! Didn't have the right size for radio surround though :/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Carbon looks good, another thing on my list I'm gonna go with silver carbon fibre I think. You can get genuine carpet mats for a similar price. I just prefer rubber that's all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowed_Hero Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah my better half suggested to do silver as well for the top section. So it will look different aha! If you need any help dude give me a shout! I found it much easier having an extra of a hands lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowed_Hero Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 I still can't believe how cheap of a mod it is! Had my tax disk holder delivered today :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowed_Hero Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Yeah all the android ones seem to be running android 2.3 though which is well old now. Android/mobiles are my main interest, and feared if I get one will end up with a buggy unit and no software updates and it would prob irritate me. Let me know how it is tho My radio came today :D fantastic bit of kit! Works perfectly with my iPhone and setting up the media buttons was so easy... I have downloads a few apps from the play store and they work perfectly. Radio signal is brilliant and the built in sat nav is spot on! I'm doing a review type thing tomorrow so will upload and link as well as some pictures :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Nice one glad its working well. Look forward to seeing it in action. I've just waxed my mods kitty on a Nexus 5 and call off duty ghosts, so everything apart from small things are on the back burner for now and I'll be sticking with my Sony unit for now. I did try covering the radio surround in vinyl wrap - what a ball ache, it looked OK apart from round the air con cut outs as they really need sanding down as there was is a slight lip which looked tacky when wrapped, I wasn't prepared to sand it so its back to normal now, I didn't like the fact no matter how carefull I was some of the small clips on the surround broke off - they really went overkill on securing it! Gonna start my own thread soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowed_Hero Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Funnily enough I tried to do mine last night before the radio went in and I ended up not bothering... The wrap just kept peeling away from the edges no matter what I did! Might just buy one already done aha. I have managed to contact the maker of the radio who has sent me some update files, will see how that goes this weekend aha! Here's the beast in stills for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, there are a few... The guy gave me the password to his FTP site :s but I will check at the weekend... I didn't have any issues downloading current apps from the play store though... And looking at the versions of android started to make me hungry... Mmmm KitKat :D Cheers dude, they weren't too expensive and hopefully I'll have my wheels done in the next week or two! Heater knobs have been ordered: http://bit.ly/1bMvv9B Just waiting on my S badges so that I can de and re badge the back and grille :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 did you pay £114 for them? the same person had them for £14.99 a week ago then put up the price. I want to order some and was expecting them to put the price back down then I was going to order some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowed_Hero Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 I did see that seller and messaged him but he said that to me and I'm inpatient so I paid a few quid more from another uk seller lol... But looking at the sellers name I think something isn't quite right aha! My centre caps for the wheels have just come :) black with white ford logo go match the wheels :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
