Thanks
I’m very pleased so far
Stereo is annoying me though. Red or green only.

@Papa Bear great work on the LEDs...
as for the stereo most Android head units should allow you to change the colour my xtron will.

Thanks
Mines a wince A-sure tech
Would like a new stereo, something with Dab and fm that actually picks up stations
But it does do lots of other stuff we like lol
And a good stereo plus shark fin aerial are way over our budget for now.

Today I finally say goodbye to my dear friend, the front splitter. Having pushed the bounderies many times, today's bump (trying to gain access to a garage to book the long overdue MOT) was just too much. It will be remembered fondly and served me well..

A few things done today...
Fitted dynamic side repeaters...bought from AliExpress (£17...bargain!)
Fitted a new rear air vent after my kids wrecked the previous one (£8 AliExpress again!!)
Replaced the 12v rear socket with 2 USB socket.
Best of all got Apple CarPlay loaded on the head unit. Stealers wanted £250 and the car for a few hours....
downloaded TeamViewer and done remotely in 10 mins
for £100...couldn’t believe it!

Nice few jobs there @Philnanks
Can you do a ‘How to’/What’s required on the Apple Car Play ? I paid the Main Stealers to do mine, but wouldn’t mind trying to get Apple Car Play in her Golf

Yeah will do......I’ll put the contact details of the chap who did it on there. He’s happy for me to pass them onto anyone who’s interested. Called Ryan Oliver. I don’t know him but he was a recommend from others that have it done and was really helpful.
It cost £100.... literally took 10 mins to do. I had to download TeamViewer on my computer , gave him a call and he talked me through it. Mine was done through the SD card. He does remotely access your computer to do it (which I was a bit dubious about) but he needs to do that to upload the files onto the SD card.
Says he can do it on any VW/Audi/Skoda car.
