Where did you hear about the Alpine unit? Any more details? Expected pricing? Does it just allow RCA inputs? This item sounds cool

Alright, time for a stupid question I saw the presenter in the options booklet when I bought my T, but I didn't really know the extent of what it did. I thought it was just a plastic foldaway holder for your phone but some of the pics I saw on this post show cabling to the presenter. Is it just a holder or is it a proper handsfree kit? Does it just charge the phone or does it hook up through the sound system etc? If it is a proper handsfree, how much does it usually cost to get them from spare parts?

Does anyone have any close up pics of the F6 gauge pod? The only pic I have seen is the one from the FPV website and it's too small to show any detail...

I was probably going to leave the stock rear speakers (at least for now) and install my good splits in the front. Have you changed the front speakers yet? Oh, and I completely forgot about the tweeter. Has anyone had any success in swapping out the factory tweeter? I think my pair of Focals have an 85mm tweeter (3 3/8") I think I'm going to have to grit my teeth soon and pull apart my door trim (and then hope I can put it back together again :banghead:)).

Has anyone had any success with installing 6.5" splits into the factory locations? When I read about people upgrading their front stage it usually means they have upgraded the existing 5x7" speakers with much better versions. I have removed a pair of 6.5" Focal Polykevlar splits from my last car (Lancer Coupe) and I would REALLY like to reinstall it in the XR6T if I can. I think the mounting depth is about 70mm. I have heard about the idea of using an MDF spacer to allow the 6.5" speakers to fit into the 5x7" hole - has anyone tried this? I haven't had a look inside the door frame yet (I'm too afraid to take the trim off when the car is still relatively new ) - does anyone have any pics of what the door interior looks like?

Does anyone know how the xbox holds up to road vibrations? I can't imagine it would be too good for the HDD if you hit a bump while using it... I haven't heard any horror stories but there must be some concerns...

Well, the topic says it all I have bought an Xbox, modded it and now I'm interested in fitting it in the XR6T. I've read heaps of info about how to hook it up to the screen but I've never seen any good info about where to actually mount it. Has anyone done a really neat install in their Falcons yet? I have only had my XR6T a little while so I haven't pulled off all of the boot lining to have a look around but it doesn't look like there are a lot of places to put an Xbox (at least if you want to keep the spare tyre). It doesn't look like there would be enough room under the seat either. Any ideas?

I have a set of 6" Focal splits (they might be 6.5" - I can't remember now) I removed from my previous car that I intend to install in the XR6T one day. Has anyone had any success installing speakers this size? If 6x8s can fit in with little trouble, I can't imagine there would be any problems with 6" or 6.5".

I'm hoping to get some good pics in the sun this weekend. Ever since I got the car, whenever I am able to check it out it has either been overcast or dark so I haven't really seen the Mandarin it all it's glory yet, I can't wait!!!

It looks like the window controls are NOT illuminated. I think that may be a mod I'll look at doing later on... On one hand it's annoying when trying to find the right window control in the dark but on the other hand, with the climate control, I can't think of why I might need to open a window at night... oh well, something to think about...

The dual zone climate control is soooo good! I really like the auto headlights too. When it gets dark, the lights come on. When it lightens up, out they go. I love this car! :D

I picked up my Mandarin T today and I have to say: OH MY GOD, HOW GOOD IS THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!! Words can't describe how, when you put your foot down, it really digs in and drives you into the back of the seat! I've never driven anything that came even close to that feeling. I don't think it has really sunk in yet that I actually own this awsome machine sitting in my driveway, it's not a test driver or a friends car. I have been driving it pretty much non stop since I drove it out of the dealers yard at about 11:00am this morning and I'm VERY happy to say I haven't heard any clunks, knocks or whines. I don't think I'm going to sleep much tonight, my heart is still pounding from my last little "squirt" :lol:

grrr, double post :D
