No problem mate, glad to help.

Mine's working a treat, got a good sound from the music side of it and the DVD picture is nice and clear, haven't tried the TV yet as I didn't bother connecting the supplied aerial.

Mmmmmm, nice! Unfortunately despite having new wheel bearings fitted my truck still has a case of the wobbles, but not as bad as it was. I took it in last week to a mate who works for a 4 x 4 repair company but he was very busy so I'm going back on Saturday. Keeping my pennies in check at the moment in case it turns out expensive.

i had the wobbles for ages. does your head in dont it. and after a days off road it was so much worse! some people said i had mud in the alloy throwing it off balance but i didnt.
i took it to ATS or some dodgy place like that for balancing cos i was off to around france. and it come back better at some speed, but 100 times worse at about 80-90! i found if i let air out the tyres it almost went away (before i got wheels balanced)

so i took it back to them and they tried palming me off 'your wheels must be buckled from off roading' i told them to balance again, and they did, and it still wasnt right, then on the way to work i heard something hit the underneath of the truck and i worked out it could only be a weight off the wheel

so back it went and they said they had to specially order a tool to go on the machine to then bolt my wheel to the tool and do it that way. since then ive had no wobbles of any kind

can you drive through your wobble? if you can it might be balancing.. if not then its probably the alloy off centre, or something like that.. hows your bush.. ahem bushes i mean

Nice DVD set up!

Cracking set up you have there Copycat! Extremely tempted - looked at the E Bay link & they're still selling them. Have you had any issues in the few months that you've had it installed? Also, how the flamin' eck did you manage to wire it all in? Looking at all those wires at the back of the Unit seems a little daunting! Is it a major rewiring process or were you able to simply unplug your existing toyota connectors into this new unit? I have won a Surf/ISO adaptor from E Bay today cause was thinking of just stereo replacement. Might be a 'copycat' instead!

Regards,

Martin

Looks a good set up, and I like the wood effect dash. Got the wood momo stearing wheel and looking at making the dash match, possibly a little chrome like surround too for some shine.

Diesel Boy you beat me to it iwas about to suggest wooden wheel nice.

Copycat one question where do you put the tapes?

Hi Martin, DVD player is still working exceptionally well, I'm actually very pleased with it. Only slight downside is the screen resolution when playing music, it's a little bit boring! Just a simple blue screen with the artist and song title listed but I suppose it's like that so as not to distract your attention while driving.

The power and speaker connections where a doddle, simply plugged them in to standard iso connectors and away she went. There are more connections for amps and subs etc if they are needed (which they will be once the weather gets warmer).

I'd definately recommend this if you can buy it with delivery for under £100.

Highlander, the tapes go in the loft mate along with my platform boots and hipsters!

[squipper]

Thanks Copycat............So sold!

Definately getting one now, you've convinced me (well I convinced myself with your help!). Don't know whether to get your model or the 4x65 Watt Surround version. Here's the link:

It has motorised screen that seems to be higher. Just a little concerned that the screen may not sit flat when extracted & upright cause the Surf facia is a little proud. What's your opinion on this one? They are going for around the 80-90 quid mark on standard auction.

Better get decent front & rear speakers too! Any recommendations to type/size? Not a clue in this department!

Thanks

[Scorpion]

I think the motorised one might foul the gear selector if it's in park when it opens but I'll check. Front speakers are located low down on either side of the dash, they are 4.5" ones and are a doddle to replace. Do a search on front speakers and you'll find loads of info. I think Rod Leach has recently fitted a full system.

The rear ones are powered by their own amp and are located in the boot area, I'm not to sure of the size of those ones. I would also recommend fitting 6" x 9"s and a good amp. I'm still trying to decide where to fit my 6" x 9"s but will get around to it some day.

Good luck with your audio fit and keep us informed of how it's going.

Won it at last for 85 quid! Been patiently biddin on the 878 motorised one & eventually won it at a decent price. Fun & games fittin me thinks!
