Hi folks.My first post
I am ready to trade in my 3.2 audi convert for a black honda civic type r 2007 with rage alloys, sat nav, hft etc.

Just a few questions please?

Whats the sound system like in these cars?
Ipod kit and hft kit any good?
Do they come with xenons as standard?

thanks

Sounds are ok (nothing more despite what speaker upgrade from the dealer), HID not even a option, HFT, no idea!

Sound system is ok, on par with other cars in the class.
Ipod kit doesn't work with new iPhone and only works with 8 playlists so not very good.
HFT works ok.
Xenons are only standard fit on MY09 cars so not on yours I'm afraid.

Man no good :vconf:
Gf got the iphone so ahe aint going be happy
Does anyone know wher i can buy headlight bulbs that look like xenons then?

thanks

Sound system seems ok to me, not the best but good enough!
I have the new iPhone and it works no problem except for that annoying sound speakers make when your getting a text etc happens all the time (possibly due to push notifications) so on long journeys I stick it on airplane mode

Edit: I don't know about the 8 playlist problem, I just choose the playlist I want on the phone then stick it in

Is it a big job Omi?

[Omi]

nah mate its a real easy job, only ones that are a pain to change are the foglights (if you decide to change them that is) i ended up taking the front bumper off to do mine as it was a pain to get to them through the arches

[andy1974]

thanks matey

Nah i wont be changing the fog lights as theyll hardly be on
What bulbs did you use and were did you get them?
You got any pics of the lights?

thanks mate

[Omi]

got all my bulbs from this guy mate

Got interior lights off him aswell, dont think theres a bulb left on the car thats standard

My dipped beams are only 5k though, going to upgrade them to 6500k at some point, so they blend in with sidelights a bit more

Dipped + high beam on



dipped + sidelights



Sidelights





Hope that helps mate

[andy1974]

They look spot on mate!

thanks for that

andy

[EvoStu]

Those look VERY blue.

[Omi]

Aye its only the sidelights so doesnt reduce my view at all. I was quite surprised how blue they were but i like them

[andy1974]

I should be also be getting a CTR in a few weeks, well excited. :WOOT

With regards to iphone connection, just get a parrot kit fitted, lets you connect iphone, usb, stream via Bluetooth oh & of course make hands free calls. Thats what Im going do. The 2 kits Im looking at are these.

Cheers
