• Hi Guest There will be essential maintenance on the server on Monday 10th November from 5am meaning the website will be offline for a period of time. We will do everything to ensure the downtime is kept to a minimum.
or cheaper option (although im not sure on the actual legal stance) is to get a fm transmitter. think they are about £20-£30.
just tune in...

They made these legal in the UK, due to the short distance of the transmission. The only shame is I have issues with my standardfactory fit unit detecting the signal from my iTrip :( Further testing needed
 
Hi guys im looking at getting the Alpine Alpine iDA-X100 for my 2005 Leon FR150 TDi. I am just trying to find out if the standard 6 disc changer in my glovebox (which i belive is alpine too) will plug straight into the back of the head unit? I will probably use my iPod most of the time, but i would like the option of using cd's aswell.

Someone has probably already answered this, but i couldnt find it, so apologies if they have.

Thanks guys!

Matt

No it will not fit.
 
Does the leon have a fail safe shut off type system to protect the speakers? Occasionally if I turn the volume up really loud all speaker sound suddenly stops, but the HU is still on and the sub woofer still humming in the boot. After an arbitrary length of time the sound returns. I can't work out what's going on...?
 
I only have an amp for the sub...and this doesn't go off when the speakers do (speakers are standard).

I may be wrong but i dont think there is anything in between the HU and the speakers. It is just cabling. All speakers, (from cars to massive gig rigs) have a tolerance level. You may well just be hitting this, but it would have to be really loud i should imagine.

It was pretty loud but nowhere near unbearable. I spose it could be a feature of my HU (Alpine ida X100) but I can't see any settings that might control it. I'll have to sit down and go through the manual again I think.

Anyone got any other ideas?

cheers
 
I originally thought you were using the standard stereo, but yes, i had the gains to high on my amp, with a pioneer and mine did the same, does it come back on itself after a while too?
 
The only external amp (out of the head unit) I have is for the sub powered directly from the battery, that I only put in yesterday. Before that I had the alpine HU with everything else stock...and before that was the aura HU and everything else stock.
In all setups it has cut out only the standard speakers if I put the volume too high. And the sound randomly returns with a speaker pop whenever it decides.
