Hi Tony, Where did you get your discs & pads from & at what cost?

Please can you explain how you tuned the PSI Powerbox for "max economy". You must have done a lot of trial & error to reach that economical point?

Hi, I tried to use the CD changer input for an iPod, got it to work after a fashion, I used the grey & red wires (black & white wires also worked the same), left the other wires connected. I had to select the CD option from the head unit and you have to have at least one CD in the CD changer...
