Bluetooth - what are my options with infinty sound
I have just bought an Astra GTC (2012) and it doesn't have bluetooth as part of the spec. I've done loads of searching but haven't been able to find an answer to my question.

My GTC has the CD400 HU, with Navi 600 and infinity sound system are there any options to fit bluetooth if it's an aftermarket system (Parrot, Bury etc.) any info on leads required?

Cheers

Rich

What to look for when buying used GTC
Hi Guys,

Looking for some advice.

I currently drive a 1.8 Civic Type-s. Its been a good work horse for the last four years but is now showing its age as it approaches 115k on the clock.

What is this part called? Boot latch cover thingy.
Hi all,

I've been looking but not finding the name or part number for this part.
The thing i'm talking about is the plastic hinged cover for the boot lid latch.

Got the below picture of Google images. The part i'm talking about is on the bottem in the middle.
Mine broke off. One of the plastic hinges broke off. And I suspect the should be some sort of spring there aswell which I can't find (probably fell down that hole and is now lost).

What dashcam?
On my Vectra, my dashcam sat nicely behind the rear view mirror...
