I have added a few extras to my 300tdi.
I currently have a remote start and stop setup, with a 100mtr range, but I am just in the middle of adding its evolution, a voice controled eight channel relay set up, to run her extras.
 
High-tech DIY hands free kit for my phone.

Get some sticky back velcro, soft bit on the back of the phone and rough bit on the centre of the steering wheel. :D


If you have an aux in on your stereo you can buy a phono to phono lead and plug your phone in, get a cradle and your now have a legal in car phone, all done for about a fiver, done it in my transit.

Well mine started out as a standard 300tdi.#
She has now under gone:#A 500 mm chassis/ body lift, yes half a meter not a typo.
Here is some of the mods I have made:
Fully amphibious capabilities,
Intergrated Desalination system (for fresh water),
26 separate water tight /sealed compartments,
A Penta-hull design (5 hulls =100% displacement margin),
Twin outriggers (=100% margin 3 tonnes),
Built in life raft /safety boom (+100% safety margin),
A massive 48,000 GPM (181,000 Litres per minute) this is at least 181 tonnes of water per minute,
Fully automated, indication and removal system, for any water ingression,
The ability to carry 1250 kg of fuel if required,
Tablet / Phone /Voice controlled systems,
In built compressor,
Two hydraulic power packs.
20mm multi core cables, supplying live and earth supplies to the rear end, for extra and heavy duty jump starting, and auxilsilery power points front to rear.
She is 5.5mts long, 3.1mtrs high, and 2mtrs wide when on the road, and 6mtrs wide on the water.

I posted this about a week ago under a diffrent header but thought this one more appropriate.
Well thats my beast so far. Still lots to do but she is getting there.
