Your battery life on your phone will suck!
PS, can you drive yet?

i know it will work out to be about the same price as a working one! but buying a working one i risk the ribbon breaking again any time, with this i know it will be like brand new and should last a good few years

The SQ might be a bit :tosser: using your phone as the source.

well think im just gonna get it repaired and use cd

I bought a aux in cable for my phone and found when I used it the bass went
Getting it fixed shouldn't be too dear though, other than that its a nice buy.

if you hadnt broke your ipod you could have used that

oh well lol, i got £40 for that on ebay last month

not quite sure whats going on with the stereo atm, cos i found it in his feedback! lol, he bought it from ebay, and on that description it says the front panel doesnt move up or down automatic like it should, so i emailed him and havent had a reply yet...

maybe he fixed that and broke the cd drive

well iv told him im not paying now, cos it turns out the front panel doesnt work either :bang: so on the look out for another lol, iv bought 2 damn stereos off ebay now and neither have gone well

well stop faffing aout and wait and pay good money for a decent fully working HU.you dont even have a licence let alone full licence so its hardly a priority

well iv won another stereo 3rd time lucky, i hope , its an ALPINE CDM-9807

Piece of ****. 8 gauge? Not at all, just get a bit of wire similar to what you'd rig up spot lights with. That 4 x 60w is a joke TBH, you'll probably get 15 @ 12v.

If you're using an amp though, just plug it into the loom as normal.
