Hello everyone - been lurking for a while and what a great forum - a distinct lack of 'attitude' one sees on many others so well done and thanks for all the info I have gleaned so far.
I recently took delivery of a Black A500, white stripes, black leather with red stitching (now available with white / silver stitching on the CC I saw the other day), Xenons, climate etc.
The car's for commuting in London and so far has proven excellent - only the narrow track over small speedbumps is a shame, you actually have to slow down...
The main downside seems to be that it appears to bring the inner hooligan out in me.
I have learned so far that:
I should get a TMC box (though for razzing to work and back this and esseesse are overkill)
The stereo is very good
Xenons are good
an Arkon i-phone windscreen mount from I-world suckers perfectly to the front of the boost gauge putting iphone nav in the perfect place
BUT that the blue and me port doesn't provide enough power to charge the phone when using the nav so a seperate fag socket charger seems necessary and I therefore can't listen to ipod music while using nav.
Questions I have
With the phone all connected via bluetooth , should the stereo broadcast the nav voice commands? Also is it possible to turn the default phone volume up? It's very quiet when making or receiving calls currently and bears no relation to music volume. Any help on these greatly appreciated and otherwise will stay in touch.
