Gator surround!!... :salute:

 

Cheers mikeswagon; Is just what I'm looking for - have just placed a bid!

 

Looking to modify the coin holder area into a 5G i-pod console, and don't want to hack up my current one!

[Guest]

good idea.

 

if it works then get up some pics :)

 

also pics throughout the making could be used on here as a 'how to' too :)

Will do. I'm hoping it will be relatively easy - I have a design in mind.

 

Should happen next month after pay day so I'll get the pics up around then.

 

Does anyone know of a good source for black leather (or possibly vynal if good enough quality)?

I thought about installing my phone/mp3 player into the c as well after reading this... it might be of some help to ya. http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-11198_7-6212328-1.html

Ooh yes - cunning idea indeed - look forward to seeing your pics / progress!

 

This is in excellent condition.

 

It comes with the rare Karmann surround .

 

Oh my GOD. So rare that 100% of Corrado's that left the factory had them!! ARGH!!

cheers mate, appreciate the link. Got my eyes on one of these which means I can control all functions of the i-pod from my head unit, whilst charging it etc.

Would mean that I can sit the i-pod quite low only revealing the screen (like this very poor mock up pic that I've done!)

I suppose if you already have a Pioneer head unit then thats the proper job. The link I gave talks about an ipod matched to an Alpine head unit, where the ipod is also controlled from the head unit. Although the essential instructions are also there to integrate any mp3 player into the car, you may find them handy when you start the installation, things such as;

 

Step 1: Getting started

Step 2: What you'll need

Step 3: Assess your car and your car stereo

Step 4: Select an interface

Step 5: Remove the stereo

Step 6: Install connection or hardware

Step 7: Some useful extras

Step 8: iPod integrated

 

Good luck & a how to for the corrado would be very nice.

 

I agree that you should try it out on a spare console surround cos, to get a replacement for yours would be very, very difficult. Class interior btw

Cheers mate, was actually looking for some info like this. Same principle as the Alpine as with the Pioneer I guess (got a pioneer minidsic head unit and auto changer)

 

One thing that I don't get though is that they recommend using a dock for the i-pod - wouldn't the i-pod go flying when cornering at speed?

 

Yeah, don't really like hacking my car about so thought I should get a second surround to work on incase things go horribly wrong. Luckily Mikeswagen found one on ebay today which I won for £5... can't be bad!

 

If all goes well then I'll post up some how to pics
