Because I was knocked over in the rush to buy my car & I just can't decide who to sell it to (do we have a tongue-in-cheek smiley?) I've been thinking I might keep it for another 100,000 kms but give it a bit of a present. Sort of renewed vows, if you know what I mean.
My thoughts are, in no particular order, one of those in-car cameras that have been discussed at length recently (I like the sound of these), a compact dvd player with a small screen somewhere (I have thoughts....) hooked up to a reversing camera also, a tow bar purely for rear-end protection (which is important  ), upgraded headlights & maybe spotlights and a find/fix for the rear hatch compartment light which I have never been able to get to work.
I think she would appreciate the attention and it might add a bit of "spark" to the relationship for not a lot of money (compared with a new model......)
These are things I'd like to see in my i30, along with auto-headlights on (for tunnels etc) but I don't think this would be possible.

Auto on headlights..........  all things are possible

  find out from an auto electrician if its an easy job.

Bunnings sell a day / night switch for garden lighting for about AU$20, someone with electronics skills should easily be able to modify the circuit to work in a car, here is a challenge for other members.

Thanks for those responses - I'll look into that then. I thought it would be difficult but that would be great as it is one feature I miss.

I just flip my lightswitch onto "auto". Job done

  So, I wonder if that switch is available as a retro-fit to make it look "factory?"

You'd need the dashboard sensor (or equivalent) too

As for a camera, that's an easy addition that you'll get great pleasure from

I've got a dashboard sensor already, but it measures temperature & not light. Do you think that would do to save some money? 

I could have my headlights come on every time it dropped below 10 degrees ................

Hi Dave just found this thread..

Those upgrades sound great. If I was getting another camera (which I'm not, as I already have too many) I would get one that folds down from the top of the screen so it is hidden when the car is parked and has a small monitor .. those mini torch shaped ones are useless as you only have little leds to tell you what is going on

Is there one such camera, Daz?

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind when looking.
