What memory size does your MP3 unit have? It's a nice idea, but I'd hate to be restricted to a poxy number of tunes.

Neat install btw

No internal storage, storage capacity dictated by your SD / RS-MMC or USB stick capacity up to a maximum of 32Gb I believe.

There is also facility to use a line in through the unit, so in theory you can utilise an Ipod or similar instead (using the base connector to gain the line level outputs).

Does your pic show the unit with an SD card in situ?

[VXL V6]

No, its got an RS-MMC in it.

Very nice work...looks very good

Thanks for all the great comments 

Ashtray seemed to be the tidiest solution to me, but there are plenty of options - I considered removing the R/H centre air vent at one point but as my phone is in a holder up there on a dashmount bracket it's a little awkward to access. Limiting factor of the ashtray is the depth / size but this module fits just fine.

As far as the modifications to the head unit, it is well documented on the Internet, Hardwarekiller's site amongst many others have the instructions, all very simple stuff, but the more difficult side to it is routing the cable sensibly and using a plug and socket arrangement (If you've got an NCDC/R you will need to take the unit out for a Nav Laser at some point!) to enable the head unit to be removed.

NCDC 2013 / 2015 are physically identical, it's only the presence of a Telematics on the CAN bus that makes a 2013 a 2015 (except a few legends on the Bezel). NCDR 1100 / 1500 are identical to each other in the same way but there's a slightly different method of interfacing as the CDC3 unit is a physically separate unit.

By the way, I take no responsibility for anyone who damages their unit trying to get it out of the car!

Which one did you use?
I am a little hesitant using Hardware killer's solution, since it only uses the front speakers. Not the rears.
That is why I am interested in the used solution. I would like to use all speakers.

That link is for a Line Out solution?

[MetalRush]

Yup 

Did you mean an other solution @ Hardwarekiller's?

[Steve B]

Wouldn't work for me....

I'd be constantly stubbing out ciggies on the  display 

But seriously... looks a neat idea 

Be perfect for the taxi then seeing as how you can't smoke in it...

Andy do you have any pics of the internal connections?

Bump

Actually that doesn't work too well. Ignore that link, I think.
