Hi all,

I've just finished installing my new stereo, the Pioneer avh-x3500dab. Cracking stereo! After fitting it yesterday, i got to the stage where most of it was working, but not DAB. Realised the issue today was that I'd used the wrong size splicer to connect the DAB splitter. After switching to a smaller size, it's now got the power and is picking up a load of dab stations. Success!

Next question though, what do you guys do with the usb leads, etc... It connects to the phone for appradio mode, so not sure its any good sat in the glovebox. Currently, i have ot coming out of the blank by the windscreen heater, but it doesn't look great...

Any suggestions?

Cheers

James

    glovebox isnt a bad shout as you only need to plug the phone in then you can control everthing through the head unit cant you?

    Fine for music though.
