Well thought I would treat myself... Whats the point in saving all the time if someone can just come and take it all from under your eyes eh..

Anyway, I bought myself:

Kenwood 522 DVD Motorised Screen Jobby
Kenwood Sat Nav System
Kenwood TMC unit (Traffic Re Routing Module)
kenwood Digital TV Tuner
Kenwood CD Changer (from ebay as I found a cheap bargain)
Kenwood Video Ipod Lead
Colour Reverse Camera

Took me all day yesterday to strip my cars interior out... A lot of wiring and soldering and heat shrink etc...

Anyway was amazed when it all worked first time.

Can thoroughly recommend

I was a little nervous buying from a shop in east london but it all arrived within 18 hours of ordering!

This is the main kit I bought
http://www.carstereos4u.co.uk/in-das...630-515563.php

But was incorrectly priced at £749 last week

With all the other bits it came in at around £1100...

Im off to watch tv in me car now..

Similar specs to mine. We have the blue tooth gizzmo which is very good. I don't touch anything and it finds the telephone.

All I need to figure out is how to add the POI's

Looks really good ...... nice ..well done

Have you rigged up the reversing camera? Does it have the lines on it of the parking bay etc..? If so do you have to calibate them?

Yes works really well, its wide angle so its a little difficult to judge distances accurately on it... will have to get used to it or see if it can be adjusted somehow.
