Cheers for the heads up! ive been on their site and registered on the forum and had a look at the installation guide - doesn't look hard, just the positioning looks awkward as you say - cheers guys

What MY car do you have as the gateway position changed in post 2007 cars.
Without traction power is nothing!

Probably it's at least MY07. Mine is MY09 and it's from late 2008.

Hey mate. When you get your new Bluetooth Fiscon kit fitted, you'll have an extra menu with more functions than standard anyway.
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

sorry for the thread hi-jack guys, but how easy/difficult are these to install? any instructions on PDF anywhere - Im really tempted in getting one - ta

All I had to do is disconnect the battery, pull out the cubby  hole below the light switch, unclip the relay holder, reach behind and pull the Can gateway out, unplug it, job done,.

Car started straight away tonight, looks like the cable ties did their job hopefully.
Out of curiousity, how low do peoples battery voltage go to when the enginbe isn't running?

Thanks for all the advice so far folks :happy2:

Old battery 11,9V-12V and 12,4V with new battery. 14V or near when engine's running (depends how much stuff you have turned on).
