Tsport Help

[Knibb Tsport]

Hi all I have recently taken ownership of a 2004 Corolla Tsport Facelift and I have to say I'm impressed all round really seems to be a good build quality and has a nice feel when behind the wheel, goes well enough too. I just a few questions really.

The first one been about the standard stereo head unit which I think is a great unit but doesn't offer enough features for me. so how easy are they to replace with a SAT NAV unit with either bluetooth or AUX and for it to still be able to work with the wheel controls? I have seen several replacement units that offer these features but I don't know what will work and what wount so any advice on what units and facia plates work best would be greatly appreciated.

second one is regarding aftermarket stainless exhaust (back box). are there any bolt on from the shelf ? I'm not after a stupidly loud in your face sort of thing just a tasteful bit of stainless as mine is about ready for a new one and would rather go stainless than steel due to life span. again any input would be -appreciated.

if there any anymore tips, tricks or advice I should know for owning a Tsport then please let me know.

apologies if I havnt posted in the correct bit. I'm new too this.

Cheers

Billy.

Hello, about the Exhaust. I'm running great with one from Subaru, Prodrive backbox exhaust. Need's just a good mechanic to fit. It's not too loud, but have a cool sporty sound.

This is the one, don't know the year. Just saying about mechanic, because it needs some good welding and extra pipe to fit. But it sounds great. :)

Why not consider getting a stainless steel one fitted with a sound tailored to your liking?

Re head unit. There are some units that now allow you to use the steering wheel controls...think the company that can provide them are Connects

Give these guys a call and they will help you out. Big question is whether you go for a single or double DIN head unti!!!

Thanks for the reply I have come to conclusion that my best bet is to take my car to power flow in leek and get them to fabricate an exhaust to my taste.

and thanks for the link to the wireing adaptor that's helped me out a lot im planning on a double din sat NAV unit this one is what I have in mind http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/231014856703?nav=SEARCH

any replys would be greatly appreciated.
