Thanks Alex, I can see finding one is going to be the tricky part, but I also see a kit that allows it to play video input, which is a nice feature! I'll keep an eye out for one

On the other hand, you'll definately see me at the next cruise on the 21st Feb!

Ok, so I'm assuming with the CID and The DVD 90 Navi, I get all the features of GPS and DVD through the color screen from the OE unit? Is there any difference from the Opera to the Navi? Speakers will all just plug in again? God this welcome thread is going off topic every which way, and making my decision for which mods to do first even harder, but hey, I like options... this is a really sweet car! even more glad that I didn't get the MPS or the XR5 now!

The DVD 90 just takes DVD navi disks, it doesn't play dvds. AFAIK no one has tried a CD70 or DVD90 here to see if local maps work... although I think blaupunkt disks should.

Plug and play for audio - dvd90 and cd70 both take an additional (expensive) cable to send the nav maps to the screen though.

Thanks Alex... stuff that for a funny joke then. That explains why there's 2 drives in it. I'll stick with the opera then. I've heard there's an Aux Input mod we can do to the CDC 40, so I'll search around for that... Maybe I can get my iPhone playing on the CID and through the speakers Click here to enlarge

I don't want to have to stuff around trying to put in an aftermarket sound system

HAHA Come to the cruise and I will!!!

Changed by low beams and parkers today... Ultra 5000 Kelbins. I'm happy with them, and the parkers are so dark they look like black light... a nice dark white light that almost looks purple. Kind of matches the color that shines out in the day time from the paint!

Still have highs (going same ultras) and spotties to go. Thinking of HIDs for them, unless they can be changed for another similar globe?

EDIT: Holy crap, I must have been gone when I wrote that... Spelling and dribbling crap and the likes.
