Stoney871 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Mostly i find it's to do with your footwear. My work boots are fine because they're natural rubber soles but my civvy boots are carbon rubber (usually Vibram soles are) and i always get static with them. Rubber mats do seem to help though.

ConfusedDaze Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks for the tips guys I'll try to keep my footwear under a more careful watch ! Didn't do it today in the rain which was weird. Another quesiton, I've counted six Speakers so far - two in the front + two in the back + two tweeters in the front doors - I was wondering if this is the standard amount for the Titanium (Sony Dab 2012) 1.6 3dr ? Are there any reasonable/official upgrades - have I counted wrong - are there more ? Any help on that would be cool :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help on that would be cool :) yeah there's 6 Speakers in the titanium, although ETIS show's 8 Speakers theres only 6. you can get speaker upgrades, I think ford sell Pioneer ones and you can also get an underseat sub. Could probably fit whatever brand you want in, as long as theyre the right size, though someone may correct me on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hey thanks for that - do you have a link at all to the upgrade kits and pricing ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Have a look at these, maybe they will do the job. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/In-Phase-SXT6-1c-Ford-Fiesta-Speaker-Factory-Upgrade-/260996871714?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item3cc4a03622 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Cheers mate - sent him an email and asked him if that'd work on my car, waiting for his reply. Also found this : http://www.fordeumicrosites.com/en-GB/all_model_catalogue/index.html There's accessories for the Fiesta starting from page erh 12 - the MS daytime lights look nice - as do the aluminium sports pedals and Eibach springs - would the springs be a worthwile fit on a titanium with 16" alloys - does the titanium have different suspension settings to the zetec s ? if I want comfort (reason I chose titanium being in london) would the springs make it a harder ride along with lowering it ? Fiesta wheels on page 44 although the only 17s they have aren't in black :( they do have some 16s in black Anyway to the point - on Page 88 they list Pioneer speaker upgrades for the car - are they any good or am I better off spending my time looking elsewhere ? They have loudspeakers and adapters and subwoofers listed - wondering how it all works ? :-s Anyway thats all for now :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hey two more quick questions 1) Does the bluetooth actually turn off when you turn the stereo off ? That's a pretty crap setup if it is that way. Sometimes I don't actualy have the Sony unit on and it looks like bluetooth is turned off whilst the head unit is off - pretty shocking - am I right or is that a fault ? 2) The back of my passenger seat looks and feels a bit weird compared to the drivers seat - there's some weird double bumps in places and the whole top part of the actual seat balloons out a little bit in the middle, unlike the drivers seat which looks fine. Is this normal ? I've attached a pic for what I'm talking about for point 2 - thanks in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Headunit off = bluetooth off - why would it be any other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 What if I want to receive a call whilst I'm not listening to the radio or mp3s ? Also any hints on the seat thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Headunit off = Bluetooth off - why would it be any other way? Yes it would have been better if Ford would have included , bluetooth active on IGN on and then auto start the stereo if an in coming call happens , only way round would be to place on CD and stop it playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 What if I want to receive a call whilst I'm not listening to the radio or mp3s ? Also any hints on the seat thing ? Then you turn on the the radio ;) Not sure on the seat I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 All the problems people have with their bluetooth, I'm so glad I have a Parrot system. Ignition on - system on and the calls come through my Speakers whether the stereo is on or off. Much less of a faff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yeah that sounds more logical to me. Was like that in all my other cars, the head unit being on or off didn't dictate whether the bluetooth would be on. Just seems really strange to me that's all. I guess I'll have to get used to it. Can anyone look at their seats on a 3dr and tell me if the passenger side one has bad stiching like that (pick above) and a bluge near the top of the seat - wondering whether to just let it be or take it back to dealers for a look.

PumpkinSteve Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I don't think that's normal (the stitching). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yeah I'm guessing its not - gonna take it in for them to have a look at - dunno if they'll make it better or worse. I'll take a picture of the whole real to show the bulge at the top of the seat as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hiya, so I went down today and took some pictures, here's the offending passenger seat : So you can clearly see the weird double stitch and the bulge above there just below the headrest - was wondering if anyone elses passenger seat was like this. I'll include my drivers seat for comparison : I dunno if this makes it easier to notice the bulge or not anyway was wondering if anyone's is the same, if it's common I won't take it down the dealership for them to make it probably worse - it's not that big of a deal but I did buy the thing brand new and if its just shoddy workmanship I'd rather it got replaced. Two other quickies : 1) The stereo - does this distort for people around the 17-19 area when the music has bass (dance etc) 2) I scratched the drivers side door pull on the interior (you can see it on the second photo the silver thing below the door handle), any tips for gettiing the scratch out ?

PumpkinSteve Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 17 volume??? I only have mine on 5, no wonder it's distorting at 17... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Is that loud enough for you lol ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 17 volume??? I only have mine on 5, no wonder it's distorting at 17... I have mine normally at 10 at highest unless using aux then it goes up to 14. plenty loud enough for me. :P I usually set bass to 2 and treble to 5 and get results that suit me. A lot of problems with distortion are caused by the fact that factory fit Speakers tend to be boggo standard things which are really only there to do a job, and not necessarily that well. A speaker upgrade is advisable to improve the range and quality of the sound system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Yeah gonna get down my local car audio installer and see what he can do for me, been using him a while now so I know he's ok. Just see how much for a full speaker replace and take it from there. Any ideas on that passenger seat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Looks like the inner foam has dropped. I would reckon it's in need of replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedDaze Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Cool bro - gonna go to dealers and see what they say - I'm guessing it came like that from the factory. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wow what a beauty! Your lucky. My mate has one and when I was taking it out for a test drive, I was genuinely suprised at just how agile the car was. It's quite nippy and more space than it appears from the outside. A great car to own in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
