most of all - nothing to lose, i was gonna replace it if i broke it :D

downside: LOTS of gain through this method... ipod only needs to be on like 2% volume to get a good clean signal

which isn't the best for the signal to noise ratio but it works, and its cheap and yeah nuff said!

its activated by putting a tape in the slot... if you're really keen you can gut the tape so it never actually stops turning and the playhead doesn't get any wear (not that it matters?)

Nice one! Wish i could have done that but the tape player packed up so i bought a JVC KD-G311 CD player instead! The best part about getting the CD player was that someone had put the CD player under the wrong price-tag and it was priced at £100. I took it through the till and it actually cost £200 and they gave it to me for £100 and fitted it for free! Nice touch eh?!

muhaha. Great idea!

This is awesome. The best part of this mod is "its activated by putting a tape in the slot..."

So dodgy and wonderful. Reminds me of when I used to do things like bend/damage the fuel pressure regulator to increase power, or use zip ties to attach alloy gauze to the front bumper.

dodgy??? :D NEVER!!

something about the micra makes me not want to put an awesome stereo in it cause parking it around sydney i really don't want it to get broken into

the next step will be to create a stock looking head uni panel to fit over a pioneer deck so you can clip it on when the cars parked and it doesn't look like anything worth stealing
