I want an XCARLINK so bad! Except, I'm not sure which one is the right one off ebay.. lol :( and i'm terrible at DIY jobs .. knowing my chances, ill break apart the whole center console and still not have it working haha
i did my xcarlink install pretty easy... :D want a quick write up?
Yeah sure, I mean, i've seen the video on youtube about it.. but i still don't trust myself enough to do it haha. Also, did you buy your xcarlink off ebay?
Im looking at this one, is this the right one? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=280755876062
thats the exact one i bought. works perfectly and super easy to install. id give it a try mate, follow the video youd be pleasently surprised how easy it is. bearly 10min work.Quote:

yep steering wheel controls work fine.. i actually just bought the Grom Audio which is the same thing as the xcarlink just about 60$ cheaper..simple plug and play installation!Quote:

Jbzonda do you think you could take some pics of where you installed it and what it looks like? (Not the inner parts within the console) just from the outside. Did you tuck away most of the cabling within like in the vid?
haha its seriously not as hard as you think...Quote:

At the top of the centre consol box there is an opening, ive let the cable go through there. only downside it doesnt allow the lid to open fully(as you can see in the pic), but it saves from drilling holes for the cable to go through. the xcarlink module itself just sits behind the centre console.
hey guys, just got mine installed this morning, no real problems just be carefull when taking off the piece around the gear stick, kinda cracked mine slighty :(
heres some photos anyways

thought ide drill it, the cord comes out alot further but i normally just push it in to make it look abit cleaner
and for sound quality, its great exactly like a cd, so good buy :)
Thanks jbzonda! Looks good! Cos I had a look at the ebay one, and didn't know where to tuck away the giant square bit of the xcarlink. So you put yours behind the compartment within the actual console? If you get me..
