michaelwr Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hi all, I've got a 2002-T in transit so looking for suggestions/comments on what to do next once it's SVA'd and on the road. Underseal. Delimiter. Just in case I forget the speed limit Radio Expander. If this don't work is it easy enough to change or are the connectors all different? Does AM work, will I still get R5. Rear Parking sensor. Does the car really beep when putting into reverse? Will I just get confused by a chorus of beeps? Maybe try a rear camera thingy. SATNAV - You all seem to think this is pants, anyway to keep the screen and link into something else? Does the TV work? Bluetooth phone link. Do the cars come with the cradle as standard so I just need to buy the adaptor? Anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam's Z Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Buddy Can't answer much but here goes Underseal. Depends on price! Delimiter. Just in case I forget the speed limit Already limited to 125mph I think. Converter costs about £150 Radio Expander. If this don't work is it easy enough to change or are the connectors all different? Does AM work, will I still get R5. Not sure Rear Parking sensor. Does the car really beep when putting into reverse? Will I just get confused by a chorus of beeps? Maybe try a rear camera thingy. How the hell do you expect this to work unless it beeps SATNAV - You all seem to think this is pants, anyway to keep the screen and link into something else? Does the TV work? Very difficult but anythings possible Bluetooth phone link. Do the cars come with the cradle as standard so I just need to buy the adaptor? Correct on uk models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Radio band expanders dont work , save your money and buy a head unit.... Sat Nav wont work in the Uk..(unlees you want to spend £800+ ) Speed limiter kicks in at 112 mph .. HKS box of tricks to sort it costs £150 like Liam said underseal if you want to ,I personally didnt bother( I have a cleaning fetish ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam's Z Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 [ That's why I put " I think" But how do you know that seeing as you never go over 70??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuey Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 defo change the cd radio............expanders are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwr Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks for the replies, it's got a nice BOSE thingy so seems a shame to chuck it. Is there anyway to hook up an external radio source? Perhaps we can setup a website to send all these duff SATNAVs and Radio's back to Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 My importer undersealed the car as part of their standard service. The radio expander I have works fine, but the head unit is an after-market one. The reverse gear beep is really annoying and it serves no useful purpose - nobody outside the car can hear it! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leenx Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I actually liked the Bose stuff in my JDM import apart from the lack of radio reception!! Take our advice buy a cheapish or second hand head unit and keep the Jap Bose just in case when you come to sell the car they insist on the original kit!
