    Blown Headlight Bulbs 7th Gen 2.2 EX

    You should really take out the headlights. In the facelifted ones there is a nice space under them for mounting on the ballast. Do the fulls and spots while you are at it. I did, they are great.

    Finished fitting HIDs to Lows, Fulls, and Spots/Fogs

    Our MOT is called the NCT, I got mine done at the start of the year and it's good for two years so no issues with the constantly flashing them.

    Finished fitting HIDs to Lows, Fulls, and Spots/Fogs

    Ya, I won't be flashing anyone much. Saw someone saying something about flashing and the ballasts in Jav's thread with his video. I'm careful about turning on the full lights so that I won't have to turn them on/off constantly - once I know I'll be clear for a while driving, I turn them on.

    Parrot MKi9200

    Be careful with a cheaper kit, just make sure it will be compatible with your phone and that there aren't any issues. I had a Nokia CK-7W installed with my car which worked perfectly with my old phone but there was a seriously annoying echo that people could hear themselves with my new phone...

    Finished fitting HIDs to Lows, Fulls, and Spots/Fogs

    I already fitted the HIDs to the low beams about 2 or 3 weeks back and they were a great improvement to visibility. This was fine but now I had standard yellow spotlights and full lights which didn't look well with the low beam HIDs (I had the sidelights replaced with Xenon white 25 SMD LEDs...

    Parrot MKi9200

    I've got a Nokia CK-600 carkit and the music plays out through the door speakers (through the SOT (ISO) cable). On the Nokia box there is RCA (Red and White) out - this is the alternative music connection, it is used to play music through the AUX input on the back of the stereo. Problem is, you...

    Thanks. The screen just slides up off the holder. The kit comes with a cloth bag for you to store the screen when you're not using it.

    DIY - Installing Bluetooth Carkit + Display

    The separate speaker that I had with the CK-7W was only okay, it was hidden under the gearstick and did not sound the best ... you could still make out what people were saying of course but there was something about it - slight booming noises, some crackling sounds sometime, etc. The new system...

    DIY - Installing Bluetooth Carkit + Display

    Thanks for the rep point! The SOT-047 is for the Premium system with the amp, the non-premium stereo needs a similar cable, can't remember the exact model though.

    DIY - Installing Bluetooth Carkit + Display

    The Nokia carkit can play music from your phone too, there are two options: Play directly through the four door speakers using the Nokia carkit's internal amp - what I have at the moment, okay if you're not too picky (not me :D )Play music through the Accord's amplifier making full use of the...

    DIY - Installing Bluetooth Carkit + Display

    Yes, it has DSP My old CK-7W had a separate external speaker which was installed under the gear stick - that was ok. The new CK-600 kit's voice calls comes out through the four door speakers. The sound quality is fantastic. There is no issue with feedback either and every body I talked to says...
