  • THB Bury car phone kit 3 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    Just purchased a car that has the THB Bury car kit installed. It has a 'Take and Talk' adapter for the old Nokia 3 series phones. Before buying an adapter for my current phone (around £50) I dug out an old nokia 3310 to see if it all worked. When I get a call the radio will mute but I can't hear
  • ford 6000 external audio input 7 May 2006 (Forum)
    Is is possible to plug a portable music player into a Ford 6000 Radio/CD ? The unit is marked as being "CD changer compatible". I take it therefore, that this unit is capable of taking input from an external audio source. I know there's those FM transmitter things, but I was thinking of a simple
  • Speeding (mostly excl cameras) Vol 38 29 Jan 2006 (Forum)
    On Radio Lacal today, anyone being awarded points for exceeding the 30, on the Luton ring road, near the Toyota dealership,can possibly have them removed. It appears, the street lighting spacing & oblgatory repeater signage isn't in existence - never has been. There are tall high density lamp
  • So we do have traffic police -- official 26 Jan 2006 (Forum)
    I quote verbatim from a recording of the unappealing You & Yours consumer programme on BBC Radio 4, 19/01/06. Interviewer: ". . . but what about the argument that these cameras have replaced traffic police and that the cameras are missing some of the worst offenders . . . Steven Ladyman, "Roads
  • Ebay CD player for a 2002 Vauxhall Astra 14 Dec 2005 (Forum)
    I should like to buy a CD player from ebay to upgrade the current casette/radio I have in a 2002 Astra (dash display and steering wheel controls). What concerns me is that most are supplied with the code but no mention of a manual. When I first bought this car it took me ages to workout how
  • 70mph and CO2 reduction 15 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    Broadcast on Radio 4 this morning... "That the government may crack down hard on motorway speeds above 70mph as part of the aim to reduce greenhouse CO2 emissions as there is scientific evidence that above this speed the level of CO2 emissions of vehicles increases dramatically" It was also said
  • Passat 2001 Battery Removal 24 Jun 2004 (Forum)
    to come off? 2) Are there likely to be problems with the car electrics/electronics? I know that the radio will have to be recoded but is anything else likely to be affected? I'm reluctant to go to a VW dealer because of their ridiculous prices. Thanks.
  • End of the road for the Astra...... 12 May 2004 (Forum)
    ......stereo? (It's ok Hugo, you don't have to go into rehab yet! Car, fingers crossed, is ok.) Radio-cassette today has done a strange thing, It comes on for a few seconds, and then emits an extra-terrestrial raspberry sound for a bit, and then packs in. Keeps doing it. Is it terminal? Could
  • Peugeot 206 1.4 18 Apr 2004 (Forum)
    Driving home to London from Manchester yesterday heard what I thought was road noise. Switched off radio to hear low pitched noise similar to child trying to play first notes on a recorder or a bit like wind coming under the bonnet! It was intermittent then was accompanied by a squeaking noise
  • Annoying Cavalier Noise 31 Mar 2004 (Forum)
    . The noise does not seem to correspond to suspension or steering movement, its more of a tapping noise than a knocking, steering/suspension type noise. Has anyone else experienced this - it seems to be getting worse and the radio is having to be turned up slightly more as each day passes!
  • Pug 206 Diesel engine tick 9 Oct 2003 (Forum)
    Hello folks, Wonder if you could put my mind at rest on a ticking noise coming from my 1.9 Diesel engine? The noise only appers when I am cruising at 65-upwards and not when I am stationery; I wouldn't go as far as to say it is loud but it is noticeable with the radio off. The car only has
  • Battery replacement 25 Oct 2001 (Forum)
    The time has come to replace the battery on my trusty Citroen Synergie. It has lasted nearly 6 years and 80K miles. It is the first car I have owned that has a coded radio, for which I have the code, and a factory-fitted keypad immobiliser. Should I just disconnect and do the swap and everything
  • Even the church has been roped in 17 Aug 2001 (Forum)
    I was very sad to hear Christina Rees of the general synod on radio 4 this morning blandly agreeing with speed cameras... I doubt very much she has done any research into traffic safety matters I dont remember the bible saying we should accept poor road design, or poor traffic policing

    when travelling up the town I didnt have the radio on as I normally would. So while sitting at the traffic lights, engine ticking over, I could hear a feint tapping noise, with no particular rhythm just it came and went and as I moved off I coudlnt notice it. However at the next junction it was back
  • Fitting a parrot handsfree 2 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    it in my work's Transit van. Now I am not in any shape or form technically minded but it was a relatively straightforward job. My only problem was trying to get the radio out - couldn't get the keys anywhere and eventually had to ask a friendly car audio installer for a loan of his keys for 2 mins. Apart
  • 2011 toyota auris hybrid, with NAV - Fitting CARPLAY, to a mk1 toyota auris 10 Nov 2021 (Forum)
    Is this a big job, the unit is a double din touchscreen, with NAV, and reverse cam, but the standard radio sucks, no DAB, and the maps are slow and outdated, CARPLAY would be much better.   I can pull the old unit out, just fine, many connectors to the rear, i can't see the 'upload
  • Mazda 3 - Autocar staff don't like touchscreen infotainment 23 Dec 2019 (Forum)
    I have to admit that I like the controls on my MG ZS. heating control and fan are two rotary dials. screen or cabin/defrost options are also buttons. Radio is a solid on off volume control rotary button and station selection via touchscreen or up down  next to that and also duplicated
