Evening all,

Decided to take advantage of the good weather and finish off my ICE install today. The head unit has been in for awhile, a Blaupunkt Travelpilot Rome 56e:

The headunit is brilliant. Full UK postcode navigation and I was bundled the European maps too from the seller. The colour screen displays all the required info and junction/lane maps when needed to change or turn off. The voice over lowers the volume whatever station/music you are listening to and raises back once the lady has spoken lol And the sound quality is brilliant.

I bought the USB/Bluetooth kit for it which is hidden behind the dash and the microphone installed in the over headlight unit. The USB is in the glove box with the accessory socket and BMW torch I put in:

Todays job was the sub and amp. I have the H/K rear sub which had the original loom attached, so I made a molex connector from PC parts and ran the wiring across the shelf to the NS rear of the car where the amp was installed. Power from the battery as per usual ran down one side of the car, phono and amp on wire down the other side:

The amp is just bolted in to the rear carpet. Cable ties were used to tidy up the install:

Cd changer retained but disconnected, makes for a nice ornament I guess lol
