Sheppy, it's a difficult colour to describe. It's not dark blue, yet not light enough to be seashell
Been conveniently driving to get coffee from McDonald's all evening, just to have a drive and explore the different options inside

Thanks pal. It was a lucky find! Really like it so far. Gutted it doesn't have a USB port inside though :(
Could always retrofit if needs be

You could upgrade it? I think if I need headlight washes that's what I'm doing.

Finally got around to fitting the metro kit today!
Thanks to @rusty2009 for the HowTo removal. That aerial was a bugger to get off!
I decided to place the mic on the sun visor as it was easier and I wasn't brave enough to pull out the cluster unit :/
It all seems to work well, apart from When I try to start a call from the steering wheel it ends straight away (works fine from my phone though).

Could be... I'm going to email Ray Smith and ask if it's a common problem.
It's good having it installed though! Nice being able to change music through the CD400

Really I didn't notice that when I drove @DC_Elite car (but then again I didn't pay attention as to weather it had parking sensors)

Cheers @bhalay207.
I see what you mean when you spoke about the ticking noise when it's connected. Luckily I can't hear it with the tractor engine over the top

After being sat in the car for 1.5 hours fitting it, I've realised how much stuff I want to do now!
Think next is tinting windows(hoping it won't affect anti dazzle mirror).
LED's need to be ordered too!

If you tint (I've gone limo black I think darkest tint they do) the anti dazzle mirror won't turn green unless you have some tosser behind with HIDs or full beam on

There is a few range rovers with ridiculous 'dipped' beam around here I might just go light smoked. I'll look at your progress thread and check yours out @rusty2009.

I've got light smoked on mine but as they come with a slight factory tint they practically black out

Don't have parking sensors (Although would love to retrofit if possible at some point) but it does mute the indicator and warning tones so pay attention!

Wait....the mirror has a green LED in it? If so either mine is not working properly or the LED is busted. Where is it?

@DC_ELiTE on the right of the mirror there should be a small white hole/circle. When there are cars behind you, the mirror changes so their headlights have a green tinge to them. It stops bright lights blinding you from behind...

I've never noticed a green tinge before, I swear its working as it goes darker (on occasion) but am going to have to check that out now on my next drive.
