When purchasing a shiny new double din Clarion Bluetooth/ippod box of tricks for a very good price, do check that the Bluetooth business does not require an extra box of tricks that costs exactly the same as the base unit. Bugger.

Still, it sounds lovely, and doesn't go scanning for the next station like the old stereo did.. Oh and the volume control seems to work all the time, instead of just when it feels like it.. It's all progress.

I got a near new Clarion double din here that was fitted in the celica but i took it out before we sold the car.It is a very good stereo and cost £200.I will be fitting it in the surf soon to get rid of the single din thats there and 2 pockets been fitted which looks awful

This evening, having fixed the speedo, I fitted the new stereo. Turned the ignition on, to see if it would work or burst into flames, and I noticed the cover had fallen off one of the sets of warning lights in the clocks.. so that's come apart twice today, once on Sunday, and once on Saturday. As you say, never again. Well not till the Bluetooth jobby arrives...

[mud skipper]

not the easiest of dashs to pull apart. the disco i had just fell apart on its own

im trying to think what part of the disco didn't break,rot or wear out and the only thing i can think of was.........give up, cannt think of one thing

i have a sony explod and does the same thing, plays through all the speakers on radio, stick in cd or AUX, then you lose rear speakers

It's cos it's wired in wrong (well the surf side is anyhow) the sony switches off the power aerial when the cd is on (unless you have TA switched on). The power aerial lead on the surf is also the rear amp lead. You need to use the 'amp' wire from the sony, not the aerial wire.

Make sure you have the TA button pressed on and all should work correctly.
