I got bored and took a drill to the car…
:shifty:
It just fell apart on it’s own. Honest :couch:
Not the neatest job I’ve done, but I’m happy with it. A nice home-made aux-in port for my Eonon head unit. Rather than having a cable trailing into the glovebox, I thought I’d have a port like the higher spec facelift models by the handbrake, so I made this 
Photos along the Medway
Seeing as it was a nice day yesterday and I didn’t have much today, I went out on my bike (Well, I say my bike… more my Dad’s. I’m too lazy to buy my own and he never uses it 
) and cycled down to Teston, then back into Maidstone following the river…
I thought I’d share some photos I took while I was out
Cheers,

Some new Eonon pics
Well here are some daylight pictures and a little video I took… and yes, in the video, I did try to demonstrate the AUX-IN feature, forgetting that I don’t have anything plugged into the AUX-IN
Fitted by Eonon D5108E headunit
Thanks very much Eonon
I bought myself a D5108E in the group buy from Eonon on Friday and it got delivered today 
I was so excited that I tried to fit it on my lunch break, so rushed to Halfords and bought some radio removal keys, then went about slicing my finger open on the packaging for the removal keys, getting blood everywhere, breaking what used to be the antenna socket on my CD30 (plug is still OK which is the main thing) and forgetting to take a screwdriver with me to take off the delivery plates… So that lunch break was very productive… took the CD30 out, broke it, and put it back in
At the end of the day, I remembered to pick up the screwdriver off my desk and went straight out to the car to fit it. A colleague timed me as taking onto 28 minutes to fit it completely 
I just need to drill in my new aux-in port
Had a play with it on the way home, and the sat nav isn’t bad, but it could do with a lot of improvement… so I’ve been spending the evening trying to change the sat nav software… TomTom was in Brazilian, so I didn’t know what I was pressing and it closed itself… and iGo gives me a memory error 
So I’m about to put Sygic back on it for now and I’ll have another play tomorrow…
So, here are some pics I’d heard the colour match on the piano black wasn’t perfect… and I’ll be honest, you can really tell in these pictures… but I only noticed it when I took these pictures, I couldn’t really tell when I fitted it or when I was playing with it. It looks fine to my eyes, and I’ve got pretty good eyes
I’m quite happy with it so far I might make a little video of it in action at the weekend
Cheers,

Astra Owners Network SE Rolling Road Day
For those who may be interested, I’m currently trying to organise a rolling road day with Astra Owners Network in the South East. This isn’t restricted to just Astras, so you are more than welcome to bring any car you like to the day.
It’ll be held on Sunday 24th April 2011 (starting about 9am, probably) and it’s being hosted by the great guys at AmD in Essex 
The price for the day will be £35 for two runs and a print out, with access to free tea, coffee and biscuits. If we have 20+ attendees, then there will be a free BBQ as well! 
If you’re interested, or would like more information, please take a look at our thread on the Astra Owners Network forum: http://www.astraownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?t=113898
