Well, i wouldn't mind a mini supercharger :p.
Thanks for the help mate, i'll go ahead and order the yumcha ebay one and report back. Hopefully it arrives within 2 weeks!
Cheers :)

Let us know how it goes. If it does fix the whining sound, then I might retire my XCarlink unit for the yumcha one too!
I received the 'xcarlink' device yesterday, on a sunday, which was a surprise!
Took around an hour to get installed, most of the time was spent trying to get the cover around the shifter out!
Here's a picture for those with automatics. I spent ages trying to get the black thing out too, like in the manual!

It uses a weird aux in plug, but comes supplied with the cable so thats ok i guess.
I had a drive around with it today and can't notice any whining that varies with the revs. The only thing i can hear is 'white noise' when there's nothing playing but i get that on blank parts on my CDs anyway, so i dont think thats a fault of the unit.
How subtle is your whining on the xcarlink units? I tried revving hard while it was playing quiet tracks but still couldn't hear anything unusual.
I guess either this unit is a-ok or i'm not listening for the right thing, but my guess is that it could be ok :)
do i see a bluetooth logo?
Yeah, no idea what's up with that though! They probably thought it looked pretty and decided to add it onto the device somewhere, lol!
i too got my xcarlink the other day but i got the Ipod version. install was straight forward.
I have noticed that the the songs do come through softer when playing via the Ipod. Does anyone else have this problem.
yea i gots a xcarlink thingo for my euro, but small problem... does anione notice that it stops playing wen some1 calls through too ur mobile fone??? coz mines just stops playin for say 10 secs or fully jsut stops playing...sadface*
You don't need to rev to hear the whining sound. just drive normally and shift at 3000rpm with your volume at 10-13. You'll hear it. If you don't hear it, then it is time for me to buy one of these new xcarlinks too!
so you should be able to still use steering wheel controls with this? link to buy please :)
Does anyone know what the bluetooth part of it does?
