thanks for the positive feedback. its a great bit of kit, and considering it retails at 300 quid or thereabouts im pretty pleased with my argos clearance buy at 20 quid. i've been using one of those cassette adapters but i find that when the tape head in the head unit gets hot it loses signal in one channel so you end up with a more-or-less mono signal.

im getting a little interference on this drive and play at the moment, but going to try and use a number of different radio station frequencies as i read that sometimes fighting for frequency with a local station can cause problems despite the fact that its not 'transmitting' a signal in the same way an itrip does; this is supposed to be a direct signal in.

overall though, can't really complain. 20 quid well spent. the power is fed from the existing hands free installation, split the feed using scotchlocks (thanks to cbs2 for advice on that). needs to be attached to a source that is 'always on' though, so interior lights are a bad idea!!

the image above doesnt really show, but the main screen is backlit and the menu system is pretty comprehensive. displays whats on your ipod basically, with the addition of the drive and play settings, and without the artwork.

That's smart.  

thanks for the positive feedback all, here's a shot of how she looks under the hood at the moment.

got a replacement radiator protector cover thing at the front, and it has the original warning stickers on it (my old one was sticker free) and the gap you see near the battery sticks out like a sore thumb to me so got an irmscher badge going on that soon enough hehehe
