| Hey guys, so this ute has pretty much wiped me out financially, especially stamp duty today that valued the car at $16,000 but I was wondering if anyone here is selling a double-din car stereo with AUX? single-din won't fit in my ute. Cheers | |

| I prefer mini-din. *Wiggles pinkie finger suggestively* Sorry middy, no idea personally. But Ive got a mate right into car audio though. Does installs for all his mates and what not - he's a electronics tech like me. I'll ask him tomorrow, maybe he'll at least know of a good website where they sell shit cheap! (He's mad for online buying and e-bay etc etc, so if he doesnt know about it, its not worth knowing) Maybe someone else will have a better answer, but if know more tomorrow night, I'll post it up | |

| dude i have a very simple less than 5 bux cost solution if you already have a soldering kit.. first let me ask you.. do you currently have the original vy head unit in there ? and do you have a soldering kit or if you can borrow one? if yes go to this page below and follow the instructions very easy to do ... i did it to my vz commy's head unit and it works a charm and i only had about 10mins of soldering experience in my life..... if you dont have a head unit let me know i have a spare single cd vz head unit laying around somewhere....you can have it for free and i can also do the mod for you so either way let me know http://www.thelug.com/radio/gtoradio.html | |

| Hey guys, thanks for your help. I did electronics for a year and although I thoroughly enjoyed it I managed to fail the year which was quite amusing.. so I don't quite trust myself with a soldering iron :L I may be able to find a friend who has one, but not one around here. How much would you like me to pay you for you to mod your spare head unit? | |

| Hey guys, Well the advantage of retaining the original head unit by MagusXecute is I don't have the problem of trying to re-configure the steering wheel controls for a new head unit (I'm a total newb). Maybe when I have a lot of spare money I'll think about doing a massive audio upgrade but for now Magus' idea seems perfect. So, thanks for the offer MagusXecute, I'll give you a carton of beer on top of the postage next time you're in Canberra | |

| ok middy mate i have some good news and i have some good news...first found the head unit second i have successfully modded my second head unit...ok a couple of things i'll do a list 1. with this mod you will need an empty cd playing for this to worki 'll provide the cd for ya cause i am nice...so just as normal switch to cd plug your mp3 player in and away you go. 2.Do you know how to take out the head unit.....if not follow this you need a special tool to get it out some thing like this you can make it out of a coat hanger just shape it out so it'll align with the hole on the head unit 3. i'll upload a small video clip on how to install it after all of this on youtube to help you out man
