No its meant to be as rigid as that... If you buy a plane made to fly you expect it too fly.. If you buy a car built to be quiet you expect it to make no noise..

Its my sense of humour...

Thank you mom, I'll stand in the corner till I grow up.

Didn't mean to make it sound like that !! Is that how it came across. ???

This is going to be fun. Where do I start.

I don't se the point in that. I just put loads of music on an SD card (or plug in a USB stick or ipod /MP3 via USB) and play it through the radio FM using a transmitter bought from amazon. It fits into the DC supply in the center consul (lower level) so its not in view. It also has a remote control should it be needed to skip tracks, select albums etc.

Hi.

I've managed to now sort out the sound quality issue (result of the car Battery running low), and now the Bluetooth streaming is virtually indistinguishable from playing the music through the usb stick (again an option through the Grom).

I stream through Bluetooth as I have a spotify account with all my playlists in sync with my music at home and I can change tracks through the steering wheel controls. My playlists on the phone can be played offline.

Fm transmision doesn't sound great and messing about with usb sticks is laborious compared to using a streaming service. That's why I opted to go down the Bluetooth route.

Costa.

ps The Mark Levinson is a great sounding system.

Yes it is isn't it best I have ever heard. FM transmission in my car from the transmitter is as good as listening to a CD. Cant fault it. There is of course no tuning issues as its a dedicated frequency.I suppose the way I use it takes all the labour out as I just load it up with tracks I want to hear and rarely choose on the move. Still as you suggest there are many ways to enjoy the sound system .

Thanks alphacat.

She's going in tomorrow to my friends workshop for a wheel refurb and polish/detail. Should come back looking nice.

Just joshing Peter, you had signed off as 'ma'.

The audio input on this thread is fascinating though as I'm 'electrics and connections' stupid.

I've also had the star caps refurbed but the new dinner plates have been fitted as I think they look cool.

It was like picking up a new car. Really pleased.

[Paul_G]

They do look cool, I still prefer the later wheels though (but I am biased )

[thelexusman]

wow she like a new car :D

[Rialas]

Thanks thelexusman.

Credit to its previous one and only owner. She's certainly been garaged from new.

It feels like I have a bit of a resposibilty to keep her in the same condition.

Are our cars a she or a he?

[Paul_G]

V8s must be a HE....
