Right, when it comes to ice im clueless, and of my Scottish friends any good at it as i cant afford to get it done professionally, i can fit it all but i dont know what goes where, really need someone to point me in the right direction.

Can anyone help me?

Cheers

We can try and answer questions on here mate....what do you need to know?

Or do you just want someone round your area to help.

Cheers,

Dan!!

but dont look at me changing head units & speakers is about my lot, I dont feel the need for huge ice, it adds to much weight *L*

Right o donato.

I was exactly the same mate, i got a lad from work to help me....so much easier to watch and learn from someone who's done it before.....i think i would have a go myself now:D

Good luck....get some pics up when its done.

Cheers,

Dan!!

Hello,

When you say you have some Ice, what exactly are we talking about here?
Head-Unit: Does it have a screen or are we talking CD/Tuner? Also is it a named brand or an ebay type unit with bare wires?
Amp: Yes or No
Speakers:Yes or No and are they same size ?
Wiring: Lots I presume

Vehicle Harness: I presume it is the std. un butchered harness ?

I have just fitted a Pioneer system to my Rex.
Screen/tuner unit with multi-changer, dvd player and additional screen.
It is easy enough, the only part I do not like is pulling the car apart to hide the cables :bandit

Hello,

No problem.
Maybe get it fitted at the F&M show? If not as long as I can make it up there, I could show you my install and point you in the right direction.

Regards,

Ian
