Thread: Racing_Enriquez Fabiaputer (from Spain)

Touching the screen to modify the volume and/or skip tracks was too dangerous

I was searching the way to make an external control


Browsing in SoloCarputer :: el portal en español de ordenadores en el coche I found the solution:

Adapting a Sony RM-X4S remote as it was a joystick:

Thanks to RedArrow the author of the tutorial (the original tutorial was from MP3Car.com - Your source for mobile computing solutions! - Home)


The adaption is so easy: I only had to weld two resistances, and a pair of wires (and install a little application):


This is its aspect:




And here, mounted in car:






Here, a picture of my trunk (not finished yet)

Need to reorganize the wires, and put a board to camuflating all (must to go to my uncle's house)

Here you can see the strut brace:




Here you can see the Xenon Headlights (as they came from Czech Republic)


That boxes contain the headlights:





Left Headlight (still with the plastic film)

Mounting the headlights:




Headlights + washers:





Detail:

As a partner said to me, I were looking for some white effect W5W bulbs:


I were looking for Philips Bluevision, but I saw these ones:




Here a pic of toshiba W5W bulbs that came with the headlights (yes, the bonnet was open)




Here a pic of Piaa (in my parking place)





In these headlights is a little bit more difficult to change the bulbs

I've also unmounted the right headlight because the regulation didn't work (both regulation axis went out from their positions), fitted yet

Changing the Xenon bulb is a quite difficult than an halogen lamp

Now that I have my headlights in the correct height, I can say that this mod is one of the better mods than you can do to your cars (or even the best mod)

The headlights' range is very good, and the light is as good as the sunlight


The cost of the complete headlights + a pair of Osram D2S (for spare) + shipping were 565€ (from skodateile.cz)



Here a Pic of the Xenon Headlights, and the HID conversion mounted in the fog lights:

H3 4300ºk HID conversion kit in fog lights, and US Standblinker (I don't know its exact name in english)

Pics of the HID fog lights upgrade (result):


I've took two pairs of pics in two different places

Note that my car has OEM Xenon headlights (4300ºK)
