Ahh ok will do. But to get the wires into the glove box will require a hole being made?
That's the case with mine the hole is about a centimetre diameter I guess.

I got mine all fitted by a my local place in Watford, who do good work and are reasonably priced.

Sure is. They've done a lot of S2000 installs and I've not heard of any complaints.

Hey mcwrx, have that Pioneer H/U in for the last week and overall im impressed, just have a few little issues.

- I have the autoloads connector to work the dash controls for the radio but there was no where for the mute wire on the back of the head unit, so the mute button doesnt work but the rest do (not a big problem really)
- sometimes the usb port doesnt pick up the usb stick, so just have to plug it out and in again usually picks it up the 2nd time

The Bluetooth is very handy, excellent sound quality (havent tried it with the roof down at motorway speeds yet though!)

Cheers for the info

I decided on a Alpine 103BTi in the end (i means with the iPOD lead) and it works a treat. Have the adapter coming tomorrow for the stalk control integration.

Bluetooth picks up the phone straight away and the ipod lead is very quick at loading albums and tracks. Iphone is controlable from the head unit (3GS)

I decided on the alpine in the end as the Pioneers cant update their firmware so when apple decide on a new software release there is a possbility the bluetooth wont work (had it happen before on a parrot kit when going from 2.0 to 2.1 on the old iphone 2G)

Very impressed. The Pioneer in the store looked like a nicer unit but the bluetooth update and the inablility to attach the ipod lead to the rear put me off
