Thread: finally clean enough for pictures...

  1. 02-13-2005 05:09 PM #1
    i have had my R for 2 weeks now and i finally got my car clean enough to take some pictures of her. after 3 hours washing, clay baring and waxing i have my pictures. nothing fancy, but enjoy.

    here is my iPod installation hooked into my trunk changer. had to connect a ground loop isolator to get rid of the engine noise because of the ground, which was a pain.

    and i also did a first pass flapper mod with the c-clamp. just to see if i like it enough to install the switch.

    now if i can just get the rest of my chores done so i can go driving... bah! dishpan hands!!

    You work fast, I wish I could wash, clay, AND wax in 3 hours... more like 5 or 6 for me. Oh, and by the blatantly obvious pics, you work at EA games I suppose?

    ya. kinda double-duty on the pics. needed a new desktop at work and thought it would be nice to get both the car and the sign in the same pic. towin' the company line you know.

    Looks like you got cloth though, yes? That's a bit more rare, the leather seats are the common ones.

    the connector is the one that is sold here:

    http://www.mp3yourcar.com/

    the ground loop isolator is a total pain to install there is a thread on it here:

    http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1757712

    and the technical instructions on how to install the GLI here:

    http://www.penz.com/vw/iPod2carVWtechbriefv2.pdf

    my advice is to split the cable sheilding so you have more slack to work with, or do what the original guy did and have someone who is good with small wire work do it for you. it is really straightforward just follow the directions and make sure it is a clean job, you don't want to have to buy a new cable if you mess yours up. good thing about it is that all you have to do is replace the cable as you are not doing any work to the complicated part.

    edit for spelling...

    I've never seen them before, only in a magazine. I would much rather have those than all leather. gives it some contrast and much easier on you after leaving it in the sun for a while.

    Awsome
