The Pioneer unit is dreadful!!!
I had one for a week and sent it back - takes over a minute to start up every time you start the car!
Look at reviews etc before you buy...

Enjoy the car though   :cool:

Well after a quite frankly agonising morning (learning the true meaning the phrase "patience is a virtue"!!!), I'm now home (also had to pick the kids up from the in-laws) :)

And yes, I'm rather chuffed :grin:

Will do some pics tomorrow - bit dark now ;)

However, a turn up for the books - the car's got some optional extras ;)

Lux pack 1
Tyre pressure sensors
Arm rest

Which is nice :grin:

And an mpg on the way home of 28.6mpg  :shocked: (granted, the kids were in the car, so it was a case of "Driving Miss Daisy"

Will show some pics tomorrow

Hi Sam,

Lux Pack 1 consists of (from what I can tell anyway - no doubt somebody more knowledgeable will confirm/deny!)

Rain Sensors
Auto Lights
Footwell lights
Coming Home lights
Foldable mirrors
Rear reading lights

Somethings I haven't been able to check yet, so it might be Convenience pack 1!

The Pioneer stereo was woeful on Firmware 1.0, but on V2 apparently its boot-up time is about 30 seconds :)
Still not sure about the 700 (CD) or 900(DVD)..... I've got a TomTom so even debating the non-satnav version too...

I'm like a kiddy in a sweet shop!!LOL! :)

And I've just realised that it's 7.20am!!!! I'm blaming the dog for getting up at the crack of dawn!!!! Swine.

Dan :grin:

There are 2 lux packs, 1 of them is folding mirrors and little lights under door mirrors and the other also has dimming wing mirrors. From my07 reverse activated kerb view mirror was also added to both lux packs. Rain sensors,  auto lights, reading lights are standard

Lux pack costs well over £1000 to fit, winter pack will be a fair whack too. RNS510 is about £800 and is very good.

Not trying to rain on your parade but you will want them, later on, i wish i had the rsn510 and lux pack  :angry:

Ha ha, really?! I don't have them on my car and can't say I've missed them! Most of the time I'm happy to listen to the noise the car makes, rather than fiddle with sat nav/music etc...
