Re: 12V electrical socket - cargo/load/boot area

I use it to power my rear dashcam which powers up/down automatically with the ignition. Have you thought of running a power cable up to the boot from a piggyback fuse in the fuse box w...

Re: HiFi - users experiences

My 2d: Some adjustment is unavoidable, but it's really not a major hurdle. Others will almost certainly have their own opinion, but I would say to look at two options: SD cards: If you have a laptop with an SD card reader and a music library already (eg your own CDs ripped to MP3) then transfer the...
