Afternoon guys.

With the current panda on the way out and a new one due soon, thought it would be a good time to add a few goodies to my 100hp. I currently drive a 56 plate with the non mp3 cd player. I am going to purchase the newer type off ebay so i can add an autochanger. However, i cant seem to find the model number for the autochanger on the Fiat website. Anyone help me out? Id rather an autochanger than an ipod connection.

Also, am i right in thinking there was some kind of "sub woofer" that went under the seat in the car? Cant seem to find that but id like to see how much and if its worth buying one.

Lastly, the "pandamonium" kit included some kind of stripe down the side of the car. Any ideas where to get one?

Thanks a lot.

I had a subwoofer along with the speaker upgrade. It was a factory option, so not really do-able to retrofit. You are better off getting an aftermarket subwoofer in all honesty.

Like trackday Queen, I have the factory subwoofer - only realised after 3 months. Truth is I rarely have the music on but it seems to boost the bass, not to the kind of levels that iriritate people though I might imagine.

I also bought my 100hp with Pandemonium kit - then spent 30 minutes with a kettle and hot water peelin the stripes off. They look a bit cheesy, they chip easily and they're £80 if you buy from FIAT. Better getting some tat off Ebay and trying it out before removing them again.

On the CD autochanger, one thing I did like about our previous 500 Sport was the USB stick for music. Now, there's acompany out there that makes this 'conversion' thing that tricks the CD player into thinking that the USB drive is an autochanger. Sounds a bit Heath-Robinson but I'd like to know if it works well, without having to be the first to experiment with it.

Check it out here, buy it, then tell us if it's any good!

You dont need the newer head unit for a cd changer!!!!

I fitted one to my old 07 Plate 100hp with a none MP3 head unit.

IRMC the model number is something like IDC-A09

I believe this is the right changer!

As for the sub, i think that was a factory fit option only

The factory sub fits under the drivers seat so it will be difficult to get a sub to fit there unless you get one from a scrappy. It would be easier to just fit a sub in the boot although the Pandas boot isnt exactly big in the first place. The Pandemonium kit really finishes off the 100HP perfectly. I havent had a problem with the red calipers but the side stripe is very poor quailty and peels off easily. So either dont bother or just fit a regular stripe as the Fiat part is rubbish.

Iirc its £400 for the fiat subwoofer. You can buy the same product for £150 and wire it in yourself

Thanks very much for the advice. If the model number for the auto changer is correct, I'll keep my eyes on ebay. I'm assuming they are easy to fit??

Do you know the part number for the sub woofer? I painted my brake callipers myself last year and they look great. I'm not best at electrical stuff so hope it all fits easily.

Cheers

It was £150 as an option when I bought mine new. That included the 6 speaker setup as well. Bit of a bargain really and compared to a stock system (that I had on my old MJ) the difference is night and day.

Yeah they are very simple as long as you get the glove box facia plate.

Here was mine fitted in the glove box.
