    Single din in 03 legacy wiring

    • Get ISO harnesses from TM/Repco/Supercheap etc - Subaru to ISO and ISO to whatever stereo you have
    • Unplug your factory stereo - separate plug, HAVC is on a completely separate plug so won't be affected
    • Connect your new stereo using harnesses
    • Connect aerial (might need an adapter - available on TM etc)

    You obviously won't be able to use your factory stereo anymore.

    I was talking to that guy and was 50/50 on getting them but you must have snuck in there while I was busy being indecisive haha.

     

    Told you to snap them while they were on facebook... :P 

     

    PS: that dude paid $1500 for them less than a year ago, don't ask me how I know :ph34r:

    with one or two exceptions, fast audis are one trick ponies.

    extremely quick in a straightline with little driver involvement.

    highly competent but hard to love.

     

    I guess I just hooked up after driving a V8T, then a BiTDI... glad I decided to give bimmers another chance and tried their diesels too.

    I have been looking at these but was worried about room in the back for my 2 little ones especially once the car seats are in there. 

     

    So was I until I actually went to have a look at one, adjusted the front seats as myself or my partner would sit and then checked what the rear was looking like - much more leg room than 535I, maybe a touch less head room height wise. We have front facing seat and he cannot reach the front passenger seat with his legs anymore. I reckon 5 series seats are much bulkier than 6 series (coupe pedigree), hence more room. Boot is big enough to easily swallow Mountain Buggy Terrain with larger wheels attaches, leaving enough room for more stuff. The opening itself is not very wide but the boot is spacious. 

     

    Managed to score a NZ new specimen with comfort seats, 4-zone climate, adaptive drive, full adaptive led headlights, head-up display, lane departure and blind spots, 360 cameras etc.

     

    As per usual, done a few coding changes, updated maps to 2018 version, installed Pivot Throttle controller. Thinking of activating Speed limit info (reads and displays road signs).

    Nice @sobanoodle

    Better choice than an Audi (think you were talking about the RS3 at some point) in my opinion.

     

    Audis are all good, just not my thing... Realised that when I jumped back into the bimmer.

    Very nice indeed @sobanoodle. How old’s the kid these days? Those rear seats don’t look super child seat friendly

     

    He's only (or more like already) 2.5, there is actually much more room at the back than what 535 Touring offered, somewhat surprising really. I reckon you can super comfortably seat two medium build adults at the. 2 door version is more like 2+2.

    what was the earlier comment about no barges ?

     

    In my view she's more like a sexy speedboat, one of those classy Italian ones ;)

    I reckon you'd never guess it right team as it's a bit of a... ummm almost a midlife crisis automobile :D

    You know the story... the car has to be clean, moonphase has to be perfect and all that...

    Not many in the just over 5m range. Most large sedans/wagons seem to be a smidge under. So i’m putting my money on an Audi Q7 

     

    Not ready to become a barge owner

    Def a Ford Transit 

     

    You are getting close, probably sounds about the same from the outside anyway

     

    Gotta love a full tank for under a hundred and a range of 1,000km though.
