  1. Happy Birthday Jamie_B!

  2. Happy 3 Anniversary Jamie_B!

  3. GReddy front lip and an already painted TRD valance. Already got the weather strip and will hopefully fit the valance over the weekend. The GReddy lip doesn't sit as low as I had expected and it is a great fit, kudos to Ray - great service on top of a great product! Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
  4. Interesting and disappointing to hear of the feedback from the GT86, such a lovely looking car and adding the supercharger kits really turns them into a serious weapon. Where are you getting the info mate, I would to believe it's true but I am sure the gen 7 is the last of the Celica's. The GT86 was to be the new sports coupe from Toyota and they are making a AWD turbo version of the GT86 launching next year.

  7. Order from Opie Oils (Oilman) - great price, CCUK discount and quick delivery.
  8. As you mention, it streams apps from the phone (iphone or android) or android stick. If you use only the licensed App Radio app, you are limited to what apps you can use. If you do not connect a phone or android stick the unit basically useless, as you will only be able to use the radio, and hands free system. In addition, you can connect up a wireless/wired camera. To get the full potential from the unit, you are best to connect to an android stick. Using the screen mirror function it gives you the android interface on the head units screen. Bare in mind without rooting and installing the app radio unchained app, you will not be able to touch the screen in order to navigate/use any of the apps. You can connect a mouse, or use the remote control that is provided however this would be pointless in my mind. Really simple steps to root the device and install the other app from the Play store. If you check out Vin's mod thread, he has some videos of the kit in action, YouTube is also full of demos with the android software on the unit. I have found some tweaks that are not in the guides online that speed up the connection time - under 20 seconds. I use my phone as a wifi hot spot which then gives the head unit internet access - so can go online, use Google maps, sky go, TV catch up, spotify etc. And with it being android UI - you can customize it in pretty much anyway you want.
  9. Both myself and Vin use this model, possibly more... http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_157926.html Frustrating for me the price has come down a fair bit now since September, but to be expected I guess. I do have some teething issues with some of the apps (none that I actually use for the car) crashing on me. I am going to do a firmware flash using the standard android 4.4 one and hopefully will sort it out. Only thing that I find somewhat annoying is it doesn't play music from the last point you had the car running, like your typical CD player would. There is probably some setting to sort this, but it does not annoy me that much.
  10. Nah it is not mate eh, that feeling when walking back after the game had finished and noticing straight away my car was not where I left it is something I would hope to never experience again - as some have said before - truly are some scummy people out there in this world.
  11. This happened to me a few years back ....just bought a BMW 320 - mainly as me and the Mrs just had our little girl and needed a bigger car. Had the car 10 days and it was stolen from Glasgow Green Football park, a day before my birthday. Guy had been waiting to see what teams arrived and in what cars, he found out the name of my football team, and went to the changing rooms and said he needed in to get his shin pads.....went through loads of peoples pockets, took phones, money and my car key. I got an update to stay they had found someone in possession of my key, only for the following day to receive a call to say they found the car torched in Shettleston....Said they had found who stole the car - it wasn't the guy found with the key. Three attempts were made to take it to court, he never showed for any of them and I had wasted three days off work, Ironically I have got a citation for another court date in February....three and a half years after it happened, I see it being a farce again. I won't even go into the hassle I had with the insurance company as well as Arnold Clark who tried to back out of their Gap Insurance Policy they sold me.
  12. I have the App Radio 2 (SPH-DA100) which isn't all that expensive to pick up these days. You have the option to either connect an Iphone 4(s) or most Android phones (as long as you have the android kit) and use the Pioneer App Radio App which will allow you to play music, sat nav, However the functionality is a little poor with just the standard app. For a while I was running an old Iphone4s that was constantly hooked up in the glove box - this way I didn't have to connect a phone every time I was in and out of the car. However, battery dying and having the relaunch the app every now and again was getting kind of annoying. So I bought an android stick and rooted the device, then purchased the app radio unchanged app from the play store which allows you to use the screen mirroring function on the app radio with android devices, but gives you full touch screen control with the android software. Very easy to do, and there are many guides out there - you basically have a carputer system as you can play games, watch tv, music, movies, use google maps or any other sat nav system you wish. I haven't messed about with it lately however I need to find a way of which I can still connect my phone via bluetooth for the handsfree function without knocking out the android stick, I am sure it is easily done though.
  13. My T Sport came with the OEM Sat Nav and stereo system, worked fine but I never really played about with it. Took it out and installed an App Radio system and hooked to an android stick, basically gives the same as the android system in one of the above links - really good - but does annoy me songs don't play from when I turned it off.
  14. That is pretty good mate, where abouts did you get it done? I want to see what mine puts out.
  15. Happy Birthday Jamie_B!
