So, I just purchased the above at the Autosport show in NEC last week.

A few questions:

1. Is it a simple DIY? Is there a detailed DIY on thsi forum for thsi job? I did a search and couldn't find one.

2. I have the OEM Ipod interface right now, does this mean I can re-install my CDC and enjoy CD and Ipod connectivity at the same time?

3. What about the AVR, where does that clamp on to?

Would love to see some pictures if anyone has installed these units please.

Thanks in advance

1. The DIY is pretty easy, however, the DIY on this site is not 100% correct, follow the DIY on this site, however, use the instructions provided with the dension to do wiring and fiber optics as that is more accurate than the DIY on this site.

2. Yes you can reinstall your CDC and use your ipod, you simply flip a switch on the unit if you want to use the CDC or your ipod.

3. Don't know much about the AVR

Here is the DIY:

I bought mine direct from Dension Audio Systems at the Autosport Show in Birmingham.
