We can try and answer questions on here mate....what do you need to know?

Or do you just want someone round your area to help.

Cheers,

Dan!!

Right o donato.

I was exactly the same mate, i got a lad from work to help me....so much easier to watch and learn from someone who\'s done it before.....i think i would have a go myself now:D

Good luck....get some pics up when its done.

Dan!!

Hello,

When you say you have some Ice, what exactly are we talking about here?
Head-Unit: Does it have a screen or are we talking CD/Tuner? Also is it a named brand or an ebay type unit with bare wires?
Amp: Yes or No
Speakers:Yes or No and are they same size ?
Wiring: Lots I presume

Vehicle Harness: I presume it is the std. un butchered harness ?

I have just fitted a Pioneer system to my Rex.
Screen/tuner unit with multi-changer, dvd player and additional screen.
It is easy enough, the only part I do not like is pulling the car apart to hide the cables :bandit

Hello,

No problem.
Maybe get it fitted at the F&M show? If not as long as I can make it up there, I could show you my install and point you in the right direction.

Regards,

Ian
