OVERVIEW OF ANDROID AUTO Please note that YouTube muted the audio for copyright, so while it sounds odd it's fine TORQUE ANDROID WITH BLUETOOTH OBD2 ADAPTER PLEX PLAYBACK

I got one of the oft-queried Android head units for my Clio 197. I had a simple 10 quid bluetooth module previously, and a QuadLock mount for my phone on the dash. I wasn't really happy with the QuadLock mount, it was too flexible. Perhaps epoxying it down would have improved things, but I'd...

ISO and DIN are the names of the organisations who came up with those standards originally. ISO for the speakers and power would be sometimes called "universal", it seems to be the accepted standard for that. There's not a set ISO standard for steering wheel controls so it can be a resistor...

That would be my guess

I have a 2008 197, and I'm mid-radio upgrade so this is all familiar! I have a stock radio as you've pictured and in my car all the connectors are standard ISO. I suspect as DS197 says you have adapters hiding in behind that were used for a previous conversion. The aerial on my car is ISO and...

Sorry was slow to update, the parts took forever to come (never using that dealer again..) Top mounts sorted the issue, thanks for the heads up on that, car flew through it's retest no issues.

There is a very good lad in Limerick, I'll send you on his FB profile. 1500 is actually cheaper than the main dealer here quoted me, but I got Eoin to do it for a much much fairer rate, he was rebuilding a box for me at the same time so I'm not sure exactly how much for just the timing service

I have a set of top mounts ordered, one of the things I love about Renault is a lot of the parts prices are damn cheap!

Have a 2008 Clio 197 Cup and yesterday failed it's NCT (Irish MOT) on front axle Suspension Imbalance - this is after having two new front shocks fitted about 3 months ago (one had a weep, changed the pair). I'm throwing the results in here too so people can see. Usually in the past this has...

Update on this: It is a simple retrofit provided you have access to the bits. I ended up going to a local Renault specialist here in Ireland for a gearbox rebuild named Rentec, and he was able to retrofit cruise to the 197 Cup. He had a wheel there that was suitable, he noted that the...

Appreciate the tips! Heard back from Supreme, would be 5 weeks most likely, so just waiting to hear back from AWMotorworks

I bought lovely 197 Cup recently, and 4th is a bit grindy, so was thinking of upgrading to the 200 gearbox with a Blackline LSD. I was on to K-TEC but they have no 200 boxes in stock, nor do they have the elusive 3/4 syncros. I would be going for an outright purchase of box for logistical...

Aha, I thought the wire might be in the column, good to know where it originates, I'll have to get a little bit of digging done in the next few weeks sounds like.

That was what I was wondering, I hadn't realised they had different looms

Sounds promising, I'll keep a lookout for a wheel to send for retrimming
