Hey guys, I've acquired and installed an MMCS (Mitsubishi Multi Communications System) into my TL VR-X. It came with a an adaptor plug to allow it to function properly in a Magna, but it keeps changing between inputs of its own accord (FM/AM/iPod) and will even turn itself back on if I turn it off....

Hi all I have done a bot of digging about trying to work out how to link my double din keyword head unit to my steering wheel controls in my gtvi. Not too much coming to light on the search engines. Has anybody been able to do this? If so and you please shed some light on it.

Apologies if this has been asked before.....have an Alpine CDE 9874E head unit that I want to install into wife's Magna. The stock radio decides which speaker it wants to play out of unless you momentarily turn it right up and then it plays fine, and the AM reception is also average (yes we are...

Everytime I go into the local JB HIFI the guy there does this hard sell about getting the system "professionally"' installed and how it's a "big job". What the flip is he on about? I'm trying to ask questions about the systems and he just goes on. What's involved? I would have thought there is...

Anyone know where the factory battery-to-body earth point is, and if running an additional earth cable is warranted when using amps?

I have an amp that I want to discretely install into the car. It seems the only place I can get away with making it invisible is under one of the front seats. Does it make a difference which side I put it? My drivers seat is electric, my passenger seat has that map tray which I would rather...
