Hi, everyone. I've just joined because Christmas is coming and I'm after all the good wisdom on doing nice things to my i30 SLX CRDi Turbo Diesel.

Despite having the car for about three years now, I broke the seal on it when a friend gave me a small LED panel to replace the festoon incandescent bulb in the dome light. After a lot of Googling, I found the instructions (and courage) to have a go at the plastic translucent lens without breaking anything.

How I'm after the safest (reputable, compatible) way to acquire a replacement for the factory radio - for climate control model - to enjoy all the extras a DVD/VCD/GPS/DBV-T/Bluetooth/etc system can provide.

I hope to learn and contribute here in the same way I enjoyed years of interaction with great friends on AussieFrogs for the time I owned a Renault Fuego.

Very suggestive of you, Dazz. Avatar schmavatar, that's my profile pic. Try googling [squadron leader] (frightening that you won't need the quotes or the name!) and you'll get a hit on the first page linking to a bio with the same pic.

Thanks for the welcome, folks.
