Oooooooh, now there's an idea!

Yeah, thanks for adding to this, Graham. I do like the look of the face lift too, you know. I regularly have to stop searching for them on Autotrader 😂

Yeah, I understand the brand power here, especially in the US. It does seem that Resonix (a US product) is actually better, though.

Thanks, Drakos. I'm not entirely convinced that it's unhelpful in lowering sound, at least in my experience. you have to factor in the types of sound and even on a decibel meter (sound pressure), if you install extra weather stripping, for example, on the doors you can get -2db gain just through doing that alone but obviously it's effectiveness wains at higher speeds.

Hi, Sara. I'm not sure I understand the question, but if your car has steering wheel controls, these will just work with the new unit as standard.

Thanks for this, Hans. I've put the Google translate below just in case any one wants to read it - "Hi regarding noise I got Foil on the roof of my Aygo from 2015 and underbody treatment it took about 30% of the noise"

Very kind of you! Thank you. Rather surprised that Mercedes would drop the ball on such a modern car.

Yeah, that's a possible option if it's cost effective to do so and actually bests other products on decibel to decibel bases. For me personally, Kilmat is just too expensive to be doing that with on top of it being really difficult to get here in the UK. I'm currently in the process of removing it from my car in places as I went a bit overboard and it's a huge pain to remove, so worth keeping in mind if you ever plan on removing it down the road.

@ i understand the cost would be better to not have to double it i agree

Hi Jenny! Just had a quick browse on AutoTrader and getting some results back with close to half the mileage of the one you are looking at (49,000) for the same price and model, so it might be worth looking around. If the one you are looking at is slightly newer or a face lift model (2019) then that might account for the difference. In honesty, high mileage wouldn't scare me on an Aygo as the engines are great, but have a little look on Autotrader first. Also, if you've never drove an Aygo before, make sure you take one on a test drive as the clutch bite point is quite high and it's not to everyone's liking.

Good tip! Thanks for that!

Yeah, that's a good observation re the roof lining, but I'm going to give it a go anyway 😂

@@jamieaygo I hope you show how you did it. If you knock the ceiling form outwards, it sounds like a bell. I believe it is a major contributor. The local Toyota-shop, where I have been a customer for 30 years, follow it closely. We have often discussed why it is impossible to get luxury, like silent driving, without having to buy a car too big for your needs. My wife's car is 2021 with all the gongs and bells, and it is indeed a very nice car. We have disabled most of the electronics. first thing was the stop-go system. I don't need a flashing display telling me I am in reverse. I know - that's why the car is moving backwards.

No, not at all. This one is great. Zero droop.

From reading on the Toyota Aygo forums, it should, yes! Obviously, can't vouch for this myself, but the connectors in the car should be the same. what I'd recommend would be to find a user called "Flash22" on the Aygo Forums - link here - tinyurl.com/bdhj2dk6 - and message him. Dude seems to well up to speed on the head units in these Aygos, so should be able to tell you.

Glad it was helpful!

Not as far as I am aware, no. These are all plug and play and aren't coded, but always worth asking the person you are buying it from to be sure.

@jamieaygo I saw that your device has got the Toyota's logo, while my device has got only Peugeot's and Citroen's logos. Is It the same model?

My three-button unit was actually from a Peugeot 108, so you're good.

There isn't one specific link as these are all OEM second hand units and the best place to pick them up is on somewhere like eBay 👍 If you search for the code I shared in the video, that's the unit you want. Crucially, you want a unit with 3 buttons and not 2.

@ okay thanks been searching on Ebay but everything is €400+ that’s too much for me🤣

Yeah, sadly they do command a bit of a premium as they are becoming harder and harder to source. It might be worth considering buying a 3rd party one. There are tons of frames on eBay that you can retro fit in the space of the original head unit if you are willing to do a bit of work, which will essentially allow you to fit any head unit you like, but you'll need to do the work with connectors, etc. I'd try and call local breakers in your area to see if they have OEM 3 button units. Probably cheaper than eBay, too.

Nah! It's all part of this little car's charm!

Hi, Chris. I can try and help. Does the phone actually connect to the screen and do you get anything to display? These units only work via USB and won't work wirelessly, so I am assuming we can rule that out. One thing that sprang to mind if it is connected via USB and nothing comes on the screen, the USB socket might not be connected properly, so you could check that. Additionally, If you have one of those units that has a sat nav (X-Nav) module, you need to connect the USB in a particular way. The link is here - tinyurl.com/yc87jef7 - Scroll down to Flash22's comment where he details with pictures how to connect the X-Nav to get Apple Car Play working.

Obviously, I am doing a bit of guessing here as to what the issue is. If you get back to me, I'll try and troubleshoot if those things aren't related to your issue.

@jamieaygo I've done all the things you've done all same plugs just when I plug phone into usd and connect to phone nothing happens

I see the mention a box at the back of radio didn't see one but the was usb cable

Was therea box at the back of radio when you done it yourself ??

Thanks for correcting this 👍

The butyl mats are mainly to stop panel vibration, so they are still useful when applied on the bonnet. I'm working on doing the floor and roof in a separate video 👍

Thanks for the tips, Tony

I think you're spot on with what you could do to the Honda and thanks for the tips!

I love these types of ideas!!

Hi! I think they may be confusing that you want to take an infotainment unit from the Aygo X (the new SUV-style, larger Aygo) rather than a MK2 Aygo, which is the one you have. What you want to be doing is taking a 3 button unit from a MK2 aygo (not the Aygo X) and just popping it into yours as it's plug and play. The one you want is with this code - 86140-YV020 - If you pop that into eBay, it will return models like this - tinyurl.com/5n8c2syu - Hope that helps!

Thanks for the nice comment. Appreciate it! The mats on the plastic wheel arch liners seem to be holding up well and there is no worry of rust on the plastic parts, which is nice. I actually popped one off the other day and everything is still where it was. The mats that I put on the metal part of the wheel well have been there for about a year-ish and I do plan on getting a heat gun and replacing them/looking to see if there is any panel rust, so stick around as I'll post on the channel when I do👍

@@jamieaygo its more effective to just use undercoating spray at that point for the exposed metal parts of the wheel arches

Cheers, mate. Appreciate it!

I love mine, too!

Yeah, you're right about it being a fun old ride if you know how. I'd love to drive the facelift models!

@jamieaygo I have a 2022 (71 Plate) Aygo X-Clusiv in a limited edition 3 stage red, it's an absolute dream to drive. It's very responsive and suspension is very smooth, extra bit of power is absolutely noticeable. Extra tech features and LED lights are amazing looking. I've modified mine with a short shifter kit from eBay and it makes the gearbox slush so much smoother and less washed out.

Nice! I'm assuming you picked this up before the Aygo X was a thing or did you just want to stick with the smaller form factor? By the sounds of it, you got one of the last batches of the MK2 facelift!

@@jamieaygo yeah I got the very last one pretty much. I bought it brand new in January this year, for £11,000 from a Toyota Dealer with 1100 miles on it. Apparently it was a show room car for a year or so. I didn't want an X because I think they are hot crap, I'm not a sucker for the "SUV everything" trend. And I prefer the small form factor. I use my Aygo for dirt and gravel rally driving, so the lighter variant is helpful.

100 percent agree with you on your Aygo X views. I honestly don't know who they made it for. Certainly not previous Aygo owners 😂

Thanks for sharing this Kernel. I am yet to rip out the carpet and do the roof, but I did do the rest of the car (pretty much) and made a video on it here that might be helpful - th-cam.com/video/4uoy9ejc1Wk/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for clarifying this, AZREDFERN

+3dB is sound intensity and +10dB is perceived sound for when doubling. Commenter is Correct. It’s a common mistake.

I think you don't understand it

These sound dampening mats essentially focus on eliminating reverberations that travel through car panels and by using a cymbal, it is my crude representation of said car panel. It's not perfect, but it does show that these mats do stop vibrations travelling through metal objects. Car Builders has a great intro to sound proofing materials that you might like to catch here - th-cam.com/video/P4ylKyoY_oU/w-d-xo.html

I have some joints in my car and it creaks when I go over bumps, can I stuff these in small gaps to eliminate that?

I think you can, yes. I know Resonix use like a butyl putty for exactly this purpose to stop creaks and rattles, etc. I guess you could experiment with little strips and see if that has a similar effect as the Resonix product but I couldn't vouch for this as I haven't done it myself.

personally I would go with dynamat. It’s made in the USA and their prox is 125 mil thick 5mil aluminum And 120mi butyl. It’s a little more expensive but I think better than the Chinese and Russian products. I.e. kilmat and dodomat

Ah, that sucks! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can find an alternative that does the job! Might be worth looking for a phone holder that clips on the the car vents, perhaps.

Interesting! I'll have a look into this. Cheers!

I picked mine up on eBay but if I'm honest, I'm not sure I'd recommend it as it flickers quite a bit. I know some folks suggest it may be because of the voltage of the car or that the car battery doesn't have enough power to run it, etc. It was something like this one - tinyurl.com/3u6xrc9e - As I say, it might be worth trying it, but mine does have it's moments where it just flickers for a period of time and then stops.

If you remove the centre facia plate, it looks like the heating module comes out as one unit (basing this off of looking on eBay), so if the lights plug in there, it doesn't look too hard of a job. Haven't done it myself, but if you look on eBay at the control panel - tinyurl.com/5f8hhj7r - it looks like it just unclips and I am assuming lights plug into the back.

Love stories like this and it very much mirrors my own. Bravo!

Hi there. I think it's worth noting a few things. I've only focused on sound pressure here that is measured with a decibel meter. viewers on TH-cam seem to be addicted to decibel meter results even though it's only really part of the overall picture as it's only measuring sound pressure. It doesn't include timbre (that quality of a sound), which this does improve by turning something like an annoying whine into something more enjoyable. Texture is also missed and because you are adding a new material into the mix, it changes how sound travels and interacts with each object, creating a more pleasant place to be. Vibration is also improved, so if you have an older car, it will make a nice difference to the quality of your ride and I will caveat all of the above with this: Buy quality stuff - The sound deadening mats I used are only 50mil, but most these days are 70-80mil. buying quality materials matters, so if I were to do it again, I would likely start there.
