I was thinking of buying a STI before i bought the XR6T. However I think for comfort, driving room, features the XR6T wins hands down. Not only all that has the performance to match. After driving both the STI and the T my mind was made up.. T it was..

Well I decided to take the plunge, got the Blaupunkt BA Multimedia Interface, DVD and Sat Nav Installed in my car. Must say the guys at Focus Car Audio in Sydney (Simon) did an awesome job, would highly recommend them, the effort gone into the install was fantastic. The DVD is multi region, and the picture and sound quality through the BA Premium Sound is fantastic.. few minor teething problems at first but all was rectified quickly with no problems at all. I have yet to play MP3 CD's on the unit but it is compatible. The install for both the Sat Nav + DVD is around 3-4hrs, the unit uses 2 remote controls one for the DVD and one for Sat Nav, i was quite amazed that the Premium Audio system has the infrared ports already at the front. The remotes basically aim at the front of the Premium Unit and you can switch on DVD then press another button and switch on Sat Nav. I was completely blown away by the Sat Nav how accurate it was, a drive which normally took 40 mins to visit a relative took around 10 minutes less due to some neat shortcuts the unit showed me. I was also amazed by the fact that it was spot on accurate. It allows you to enter a house/business address and number. The number I entered was my relatives house. On arrival the unit said "You have reached your destination" and i was exactly outside his house. I would highly recommend the Blaupunkt DVD and Sat Nav for anyone looking for an aftermarket upgrade for the Premium BA system. You have to get one! Special thanks to Elisha & George at Blaupunkt for there help and also Simon at Focus Car Audio for his expert installation. Ill try and take some pics of the unit for you to have a look.. or you can have a look at our next cruise...

Saleen1 that is a joke. If you didnt purchase the other brand I could have got Blaupunkt Marketing manager to contact you to give you help in whatever the problem was.. Let me know if you need any assistance..

Now that is awesome

I have exactly the same problem.. will be getting some shielded cables shortly to stop the noise..

No actually they dont. They have a unit which enables you to add up to 6 devices, I have it in my car. You can add Xbox, PS2, Rear Cameras etc...including a TV Tuner..

I personally think the Blaupunkt system is superior compared to the VDO Dayton current Sat Nav.. Will be interesting to see what they come up with...

Blaupunkt have a device which will enable you to add a TV Tuner to the Premium sound with the BA Multimedia Interface..

The great manual vs auto debate rears its ugly head.. "I drive a real car"... please.... :flameman:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.... another year younger.. .NOT

Thanks Guys.. it does sound excessive..

OMG that is bad.. i hate it when people are jealous.. why oh why do we even bother..

Hi Guys, My car is going in for its first major service 15,000kms.. wondering what you guys paid for it through a Ford Dealer? I have been quoted $349.. They said its more due to it being a turbo.. Your advice is appreciated

I am pretty sure its 16 and 9 months for females and 18 for males... Don't ask me why i know either...

I totally agree with APS on this one.. The variance on dyno results from different vendors and even tuning shops vary significantly, air temperature and the environment has to be exact to get as close to accurate figures as possible.. If you had the opportunity like i have had to have a look at APS's Dyno room including the air cooling setup, you too would believe that the setup they have is extremely spot on to give the most accurate results.

bah.. who needs one of those.. Ill volunteer to help em out free of charge..

Sorry, my opinion is that you start your own XR8 forum, if you think there is enough interest. There is enough stuff here to get through as it is, without opening it up to new categories. To be democratic, you could start a poll. Brian If their is enough interest we can open a XR8 and XR6 N/A section on the site. However the main reason for not doing this, is that issues that even happen with the XR6 Turbo happen across the entire BA Range, so it may be doubling up.

Yes I know we have heard it many times before, how much is insurance, how much did you pay, your age, etc.. But before i went on holidays I shopped around for my comprehensive insurance.. Best Price for a 26yr old living in Sydney's west was roughly $2,500 (last year was $2800) . After shopping around and doing online quotes with various companies I found AAMI to be the cheapest at around $1800. I saved the quote online and thought I would pay for it when i came back after holidays.. 2 weeks later (yesterday) i decided to ring them up and pay for the quote. I gave them the reference number and was told I could not insure the car as i am under the age of 30 years old. Even though during the time I signed up online, i entered all my details correctly including my date of birth, it acknowledged the fact I was 26 and even offered me to purchase the policy online once i completed the questions. Anyway after having a gripe with the customer service rep on the phone, she told me she would transfer me to Just Cars insurance.. after nearly 30 mins on hold, i finally spoke to someone.. she asked me all the usual questions and they asked me to hold for a price... I should have held onto my seat... $4800 to cover the car for $55,000 value. This is what I think of that... I ended up keeping with the current provider Ford Insure at the price of $2158. I can't believe where people get off in charging such ridiculous prices..

haha i have played this game.. even with a Geforce 4 video card with 256mb of onboard ram, i noticed the cars looked pretty ordinary.. dunno if its the games config. but I didnt like it..
