Rolls Royce Silver Spirit Restoration PART 24 - Radio Install
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2024
- PART 24 of this New Series. In this episode I continue on with the RADIO install. It should have been straightforward but the wiring from the Rolls radio that I purchased on eBay is different to the wiring harness on the car. So, I have to work out what each wire does.
My biggest challenge yet! Can I FIX a 1988 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit with too many faults to list, there is more wrong with it than right. Will I end up crying into my Connolly leather seats or will this beast live on.
This is the cheapest Rolls Royce in the UK so I wasn't expecting much, hopefully bit by bit with sheer determination and zero skill I will attempt to fix each fault one by one.
This is PART 24 of this series. Every part will be filmed, and I hope to discover the craftmanship that has gone into this 34 year old moving piece of art.

Great stuff Vince, the yellow mat voice over comments had me laughing.
You will notice that in automotive applications connections are not soldered and always use stranded wire, this is due to the vibration created when the vehicle is travelling down the road.
This falls under the category of NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness), solder whilst creating a solid connection is also its biggest weakness in that it is solid. It does not flex much before it breaks.
This is why the use of multi pin connectors (super seal connectors are very common) is prolific in the automotive sector, it not only allows movement in the joint but also allows the join to be sealed from water ingress whilst also incorporating a locking feature to ensure the connection cannot accidentally come loose from vibration or other factors.
This also aids assembly as when workers connect the plugs together they give a positive click to tell you they are connected correctly and many if not connected correctly will disconnect altogether ejecting the male and female parts away from one another making are nearly impossible to miss a connector not connected correctly.
I am sure the soldering here will cause you no issues but its something to bare in mind when splicing wires on vehicles in the future, as you probably already know when you solder a stranded wire the solder tends to wick down the wire turning it into a solid wire which creates a possible failure point as it is no longer flexible.
Thanks MM. That is so very true and makes complete sense now. I thought I was doing better job, but I didn't think about the vibrations. I'd like to pin this comment if you are cool with that. No worries if you rather I didn't, it's just more people need to read your stuff as I think there is so much value in what you write. Pinning means it is the first comment under the video. If you could let me know either way 👍👍👌
@@Mymatevince I have no issue with it being pinned Vince, quite flattered in fact.
I don't think you will have any issues with your repair and after all its only the radio and not something safety critical.
Great to see you got it all worked out as installing a radio after an after market one has been installed like in your case can leave you with a right job on your hands. Many just cut the original wiring harness and use bullet connectors like in your case as its cheap.
You can get what are called ISO wiring harness adapters for after market radios that allow you to use the connectors on the original wiring harness instead of cutting them off.
I much prefer these as you do not damage to the original wiring harness which means it can be returned back to its original state if you want to reinstall the original radio or fault find and remove the after market radio easily to be able to isolate it.
Glad I could help.

@@APSuk2 Thanks Adam👍
Soldered joints also have a slightly higher resistance than a solidly made crimp.
While uncommon, an high load on a heavy gauge wire that has a poor solder joint causing high resistance can de solder itself from the heat but a crimped connection which is suffering high resistance will generally just get very hot.
This is much an issue of contention. I have repaired car radios where the 'pins' from the plug/socket connections soldered to its main printed board have fractured at the solder joint, occasionally in process of the plug assembly. I see it as quite feasible to use the soldering of wire with heat shrink covers to maintain the use of the original plug configuration so reference to an original service manual (if such a thing exists) can help for a prompt repair. As well, I remember replacing a section of insulated wire which caused a dim low-beam headlight. The cause of that was the increase of resistance from the 'feed' connection to the (H4 halogen) globe socket; it measured nearly 4 volts. I used 15cm. of 10A hook-up wire with an Aluminium joiner crimp one side, and a crimp, then solder to the spade lug, then locked in to the globe socket, and Bob's your aunty...!
Loved the gremlin in the background during the non-blue mat part. 🙂
Hahaha, it had to be done. Cheers Roger 🤣👍
LOL @ the yellow mat! I am blinded!!! Great video Vince - always fun sorting car stereo wiring, especially when it has history of however many previous radio installs in the past! Everything looks pink now...
I loved the pink comment. Still giggling now over it. One mat = so much misery 🤣🤣🤣
I loved how you were trolling us with the wanking comments about the yellow mat in the video. Well done mate!
@@Mymatevince Haha =D Yes, I had a read through and couldn't believe how passionate people get about a mat colour lol! PS: I think you should get a green or red one!
Back when I used to install car stereos, the trick I used to test which wires went to which speaker was to simply grab a AA battery and touch two of the same color wires to the positive and negative end. The speaker would give off a little popping static noise and you then knew which speaker those wires went to.
Genius
This. Also, if you have positive to the positive wire and negative to the negative wire the speaker will move OUT.(In Phase) If you have it backwards, the speaker will go IN.(Out of Phase)
Great little trick. I used a 9V battery in episode 27 when I attempt a refoam of the speakers, but I think it might have been a bit much. The AA battery trick would have been great to use to save using the multimeter 👍👍👍
I used the trick of knowing what i was doing. Its a better trick.
It's great to see you 'work it out' with radio operation and the amplifier. Many radios have a high powered BTL (balanced tranformerless) output to the speakers, where the output terminals to each speaker measures (with radio on) about half the DC supply voltage, but the - connection gives the reverse output signal to the + connection, thereby increasing power output (compared to a 'grounded' speaker configuration) by a factor of 4. It also has very low noise. The configuration using an amplifier also increases the output power to the low impedance speakers (typically 4 ohms) by having an internal DC - DC power supply (up to 24 volts) for its output stage. While many viewers may laugh at you, with your embarrassment, I think the 'learning curve' is just great, and well worth presenting for the benefit of others who want to learn (like you have) too, with a gratifying, productive result...
Nice blurb of "insider" info.. I can't belive I was the first to "thumbs up" after a year has passed James, you are a gentleman and a scholar..
Great Job Vince! And great job on keeping the blue mat! Much better on the eyes!
Thanks BiFi 😎👌
BRIGHT LIGHT BRIGHT LIGHT !!!!!!!! I love that mat
I love these Rolls-Royce videos 😊👍Your channel is definitely in my top ten... Keep up your excellent work.
I to remember the good old days of radios that just connected to the speakers through an external amp or internal. None of the wiring to the steering wheel for volumes and mode and phone connect, not that I don't appreciate it, I love all the gadgets on the steering wheel it just makes it harder to fit a non oem radio. But yes I even had extra long leads on my multimeter so I could connect the dash leads to the speakers all around the car but wiring the external amp makes it much more difficult. I think I am as happy for you as much as you are in completing this onerous task, its just so good when you can look back on your work and be proud you fixed it yourself. Another wonderful Rolls Royce video Vince, I love watching all your videos sometimes several times, mainly because old age as turned my brain to forgetful mush. I think I enjoy all your videos even the second time around, but I especially like the Rolls and the boat trims you fixed. One last note I love the yellow mat, but unfortunately it doesn't film well much too bright, but yes I'd like yellow to, just for the difference and the heck of it in Australia they are twice the cost of a blue or grey one.
Thanks David, that is a lovely message to read! Cheers 👍
The yellow one here in the UK is harder to find than the blue and cost about 50% more 👌😎
'Arrrgggghhh Yellow Mat - kill it with fire' - I bloody love you Vince - that proper made me laugh!!
Hahaha, nice one Kip, cheers 🍻👌👍
Take some dielectric silicon grease on a cloth and wipe the antenna sections down. Will make the motor work less hard and enhance the connections at the base of each section. Excellent work!
Thanks Geoff 👍
Thanks for putting me onto Amos Noah - what a great song!
Vince you learn these things with experience . I did auto car stereo installs professionally a few years ago, the connector is called Remote wire, its the switch that turns on amps, Eq, when you turn the radio on it sends 12v switched.
Thank you Patrick 👍👍👍
Great Job Vince well done and keeping the blue mat! Much better on the eyes!
Nice work. Would love to see you work on the reconditioning of the car seats. Would be nice to see them restored
Fantastic video as always Vince! That yellow mat though...The blue mat is like looking at a warm white streetlight from a block away and the yellow mat is like staring into someone's high beams!
I'm glad that blue mat is back again - this yellow one was worse for eyes.
Definately the yellow mat vince!👍
The yellow mat is starting to gain believers! 😂👌
When you got that going Vince, my feelings were AMPLIFIED when you TURNED IT ON. I feel ILLUMINATED. 🤣
Great stuff Vince. I know what you mean about In Car Entertainment. It can sometimes be a bit confusing especially when you're adamant that you got everything right. It's always the one wire.
😂👍👌
Thanks mr. Vince for bringing the blue one back...
I like your humor, good job mate!
Hi Vince great tip for you if you want to test speaker wires Where they go you can use a 1 .5 volt battery and you will hear it click on the speaker Kind regards from Harry.
Thanks Harry, that is a neat little trick. Certainly, easier than using a multmeter 👍👍👍
Awesome job Vince! Yes you can replace cones on a speaker. I'll be doing it in part 3 of my radio restoration. Already filmed just trying to find time to edit.
Thanks Shawn, I have an upcoming video on a homemade refoam on the speakers!!!!! No spoilers but I won't be doing it again 😂😂
@@Mymatevince not extremely pleasant I assume. 🤣 I think I nearly lucked out in regards to the speaker I was "fixing". That video will be up on the 18th. Complete with an MMV mug shout-out 😁.
@@HavingFunRepairs Yayyy, thanks mate. I will be sure to check it out👍
@@Mymatevince it's not worth it, the speakers were rubbish when new and will still be rubbish with new surrounds, put something modern and half decent in it, the difference in sound quality will be like night and day!
It’s called reconing - I have two 8” Bose speakers to do - but as it’s not urgent haven’t filmed it yet.
With the older decks the din lead contains the low power pre out leads that go to the amp. The connectors on the other side of the amp are the high power speaker inputs "from the speaker leads from the deck". The blue and white the remote lead to power the amp as you found out. Glad you sorted it out, for a second thought you were going to plug the speaker wires off the deck to the amp outputs, thought noooo! it will blow up the deck lol. Well done mate.
Thanks Boastyy, I thought originally it would have been using the round DIN lead but I wasn't quite sure. Thanks for confirming that 👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince No problem Vince. I used to have Alpine and Pioneer setups in the 80's"jeez I feel old, lol". Many of the systems had the din plugs on the amps and equalisers. Your amp has both the din and high level speaker input which is awesome. Glad you got it working, nice one mate!😀
New Rolls video on my birthday, thanks Vince!
Happy Birthday Starless 🎉🎂
What a great job! Very interesting! Unpopular opinion here: I like(d) the yellow matt.
Yayyy, another one for the yellow 👌👍
I am thrilled every time how calmly and serenely you go the long way of repair. Is really relaxing to watch you
Great video. Love the Rolls Royce stuff. I like the yellow mat. It's different. It will probably dull a little over time with use too. It's all new and super shiny and fresh.
Brilliant Vince I was shouting what to do lol, another job ticked off well done 👍
Cheers Cucumber 👌
Yeah to the blue mat. I can finally put my sunglasses away! 😎
Great video Vince. Keep up the good work. 👍🇬🇧🙂
Great Job Vince replacing radios or older radio cassettes can be a wiring nightmare but he has the skill and patience
Hi Vince, brilliant videos as always. I have the exact same Blaupunkt amplifier which I acquired from a house clearence place. Iv had it for around 6yrs and neer got round to finding out if it works or not. Only bought for £5 so no loss if it doesnt work. The cones can be replaced on speakers but is much easier to buy replacement speakers than to replace the cones....
Thanks Minifreek. Hopefully it will still be working fine 👌👍👍👍
let's take a moment to appreciate how unexpectedly good of a voice actor Vince is.
"I^M BLINDED"
🤣👌
I used to have the car radio you have in your rolls Royce .. you can also change the colour of the light from orange to green .. great channel ..Emma x
Ohhhh, I like the sound of that Emma. I'll have to try and find a user guide because it's all a little confusing at the mo👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince seeing you with all those wires at the back of that radio brought back nightmares,but was great for the time I had it until I left the card in by accident and came back from shopping and I had a big hole on my dashboard where the radio once lived.🤭🫢
Oh nooo. So many radios were stolen back then. My brother has his one nicked and the window they smashed cost 5 times the price of the radio 😂
That was a great fix, and a great bit of reverse engineering!! I'm regards to the yellow mat I think that it looks great! I'm not having any issues looking at it, and it is cool to see the thin spots
That yellow mat is bananas, b a n a n a s.
My favourite RR on youtube. Bring the popcorn.
Great job Vince 👏👏👏
So well done, that was an excellent day at the office. Love your excitement. It brought back memories when I fitted electric aerials and stereos to my first clapped out cars when I was in my teens.
Thanks MrAsBBB 👌👍👍👍
Woo the blue matt is staying!
What a trooper.. who doesn't love this bloke?
This may decisive to me compared to others but I’m a yellow mat fan so hope to see it in more videos in the future
Great video Vince, yeah car radios can be daughnting to start with, but once you illiminate the speaker wires, then connecting the rest is so much more simpler, and due to having mostly common coloured wires once you done one, then while you might not love doing it, it is a whole lot easier.
with the car radio earth is meant for the car body for power unless the car is reversed polarity ie. red is bodywork, and black being sent through wires extremely rare though, but should always be checked just encase if working on a brand new vehicle, ie one you never worked on before even if same make and model, but the year is different. floating earth like speakers is to the floating earth (return same colour but with a stripe) wire of the speakers on the radio.
and yeah 2 splices in the wire creates more chance of failure compared to 1 splice. ideally you would want 0 splices in the wire, but doing that with a car radio is nearly impossible without the right connector blocks without spending a bomb especially with steering wheel controls as well. without the outer surround on the speakers the speakers will work, just not give as much bass sound for the radio.
my current car is the 2nd car that I won't be changing the radio in, as got bluetooth, and a USB socket on for music, the first car was a rental, but it had the same thing. my previous 2 cars, and before the rental car that I had for 3 years was all fitted by myself, as mainly wanted mp3 discs to play in them since about 2006, or because they never had a radio fitted prior to that. but yeah having a radio in the car is one of those things that you miss when you don't have it, but nearly never switch on when you do have it!! lol
Thanks for the info Michael. I've taken recently to listening to Audible whilst driving. I find it quite relaxing, more so than the radio. I'm going to struggle with that on this Rolls though 😂👍
Vince, you may like the yellow mat, but, you are in the entertainment business on TH-cam, and the number one rule in entertainment is...always give the people what they want. Personally, I didn't mind the yellow mat, but now that you showed them side by side, the blue might is more visually relaxing to see. Great vid, and I certainly don't mind when your vids go over thirty minutes. You're one of the few TH-camrs I can watch for hours without getting bored.
Thank you Charles 👌👍 I will just bring out the yellow mat for special occasions 😂
A useful tip when wiring car speakers is to use a triple A battery just flick speaker terminals across battery you will hear speaker click giving you it's position.
Really useful trick that is. If I ever need to do something like this in the future, I will be sure to remember that 👌👍
I agree the blue mat is best, nice job with the radio!
Need welding googles with that yellow matt
Perhaps the green tint would actually make it look blue!
😂👍
Hahaha
I have some car audio equipment from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Before they settled on using RCA for line-level audio, they used DIN plugs. If you ever want to adapt another amplifier, headunit or add an aux-in, you just need to figure out the pin-out of the DIN connector, buy a DIN plug, solder on the appropriate wires and connectors and done.
Thank you John 👍👍👌
@@Mymatevince You're welcome.
On a car audio amplifier the high level input is usually for connecting the speaker outputs of the radio directly to the amplifier. It is done when you dont have a "low level" (line level) output on the radio.
So my guess is that the original radio had the speaker outputs going into the high level inputs of the amplifier that probably has more power then one built into the radio.
Edit. Sorry i didnt watch the whole video.
Yep, used for crap HUs that should be in the bin lol
@@stevefox3763
Yerp I can hear him say it now "In The Bin" Yeah you know who says that" 😅😉
Its not a sprint - more a marathon - I like it
A big welcome to the new yellow mat 🎉 🟨 Keep up your fantastic videos Vince, i love this Rolls Royce journey, and i can't wait for you to tidy up the interior after you're finished inside it 🙃
Thanks Nikolai, I'm looking forward to washing the carpets the most. I'm hoping because they are good quality, they should come up nice and clean. Massive thanks for the 'Super Thanks'. Always a nice surprise to see one drop in, I really appreciate it 👍👌😎
i really like the yellow one, everybody has a blue one, yellow is nice for a change
Only problem is it makes the camera decrease it's exposure due to more light being reflected into it and this makes everything else darker.. also the blue is easier on the eyes!
Lost it laughing at your yellow mat comments - well played Vince 😄
😂👍
I'm guessing the above is a scam yeah Vince? Or is that legitimately you offering me a prize? 😄 it has your youtube profile pic but looks very suspicious
Jesus, what a mess. Nice job tidying it up and getting it working. I'd have been tempted to ditch the aftermarket amp but i'm happy it worked out for you.
I've always heard the expression, "blown apart and gone through" but I think this Rolls Royce series is the first time I've really seen it in action. :)
You could always do some computer management for the cables, bundle them up to what they are then label them. Cabling in stuff is always pain back side in anything.
Great video it's is a pain too wire a radio but you showed everyone the easy way to get it done as for the mat it's doesn't matter which one you want to use that is true about the yellow mat but over time it will get dirty and burn marks just like the blue one you just haven't used it as much as the old mat Bryce
Great fix there, I used to mess around years back changing car stereos for a better model back in the day.
I like the yellow mat more, looks neon which appeals to me as an 80's kid.
In about 1984, my classmate Jason had a t-shirt in that same shade of neon yellow. 😎
The yellow mat reminds me of the day glo luminous socks I wore many years ago, along with the green one's ha ha.
😂👍
you must be knackard this mth all this work your very skilled and i love learning thanks for showing all your work iv just brough a roberts radio to re do thanks to you
Thank you for watching them. Good luck on the Robers radio. I still have both the Boombox and my favourite is the little wood sided green Roberts RFM3 👍👍👍
yes keep em there lovely
I died during the yellow mat background yelling. Bravo. Always great videos! Can’t wait to see the next one!
Yay blue mat!!
Vince you should consider ditching the old speakers and get some new modern ones. The sound will be so much better, and there's no need for them to be oem as they will be hidden behind panels or covers.
Thanks Cameron, check out episode 27 when it comes out in a couple of weeks 👌👍👍
Enjoying these immensely 😀
Keep 'em coming...
Hi, Vince good video, by the way blue mate more relaxing colour 😄
Yellow mat has grown on me already. I hope we still see it on some occasions.
Definitely, I promise 👌👍👍👍
Nicely done 👌
Nice job, all that wiring looks very complex at first glance, but wiring diagram with colour codes helps a lot.
This video inspired me to check out my JVC car radio that's been sitting in my cupboard since 2008. Removed it from my car, which went to crusher.
Googled the 9-pin connector diagram, made some temporary power and ground wires and tested it with 9V battery and yes, the lights came on :)
👍👍👍
i like the yellow mat :D
Yay, another one for the yellow 👌👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂 yellow mat , I don't mind the yellow mat, great repair , the din connector is a preamp signal and the spades connector is for Speaker level inputs on the amp , Keep it going 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you AR, it is a shame it wasn't plug and play with the DIN connector, but I got there eventually and learnt a bit in the process 👍👍👍👍
Blue mat is back! Yeeeeesssss (in Vince voice when he fixes something)
Like just under 30 mins😂 and yes when looking the 2 mats side by side deff the yellow one just makes my eyes tired. As for the environment the brighter the screen you watching you need more light to the room so you dont just straight up get blinded... so.the new mat was a miss. I couldn't care less either way though as long as you are ok and bringing your energy and videos as long as i hear your voice... idk simething aboit your voice gives me calm and soothing dad vibes and it definitely calms me down
Thanks Renata 👌👍
The blue mat was your signature frase Vince, you should keep it, some times you're saying "the blue mat" even when you're working on the yellow one and yes is kinda wired color for the screen not so pleasant for observation. Good job with the radio it's great to put some order in that caos of cables. Greetings mate
Thank you 👌👍👍👍
The commentary on this one was so funny I can’t see anything I just see yellow 😂😂😂
😂😎
Good job mate 👍
I enjoyed your video on the car radio, but I too found my walls looked pink after looking at the yellow mat and then looking away.
😂👍
Awesome Vince
Blue mat is back yaaaaaa 🎉🎉🎉
Vince usually the wire diagram is on the radio chassis.
I think the reason the wiring is a mess is because it’s had a modern stereo put in it, and I think modern units probably have the amp integrated into the head unit so the Rolls amp has been bypassed and the outputs just sent to the speakers, that’s my theory anyway
So did the original radio, the external amp was just more powerful than the one built into the radio.
A few things I remember from 80's cars are pop-up headlights and electric aerials 😂😂
Oh yeah, the pop up headlights. I had an old BMW 840 with them for a couple of years...I thought that car was bad but it was concours compared to this Rolls! 😂👌
I don't mind the yellow mat. But I'm odd. As for the RR. Love every video as it makes me feel better about my '92 BMW e32 7 series. It seems the exemplar of common sense and sensible compared to the RR. Thanks for that!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
good work Vince,one small thing...please tidy up the foot-wells of the RR...it makes for a better working environment..;-)
Yeah, I will give the inside a good tidy up in a later episode. It is all getting a bit too messy 👌👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince excellent mate...;-)
Speakers can be restored just need foam rings and superglue really easy job. And agree that yellow mat was awful on my eyes to look at!
You have get many good comment already about low and high level. You now know that din is pre-RCA, but 5-pin is with 4 channel + and common -. Those "old days" was some radio without amplifier and i believe you multi pin din is used for that kind of radio. The radio was installed speaker output, but those wasn't work without amplifier. Din plug has input and output of all 4 channel. It could be possible to connect 5-pin din cable between those equipment and connect speakers straight to the amplifier like you do. And if you wanted to update your stereo, you shoul buy rca-din adapter or diy. And don't connect amplifier negative cable to that bolt permanently if you don't bolt it in to the body.
Thanks Jari 👍👌
You could always frame the yellow mat with a plaque that reads "Long Live the Yellow Mat."
Haha, forever enshrined 😂👍
Enjoyed the video! Keep them coming.
Omg I had tears in my eyes laughing when the yellow mat entered the stage. Hilarious!!
😂Hahah. Poor mat, I feel sorry for it!
Great episode Vince. I was looking forward to this one and you didn’t disappoint. Car audio wiring is a real headache but you somehow managed to work it all out. Cheers Graham (P.S. bin that nauseous yellow mat 😊)
Hahahaha, NEVER Graham LONG LIVE THE YELLOW MAT! Only kidding but it will come out for special occasions. Really glad you liked it mate 👍👍👍
Great video's so many thanks for all the work.
You didn't know how it is called refurbish the speakers but this is called recone.
Greetings from Roel (out of the Netherlands.)
Thanks Roel 👍
If there is no dedicated Remote/Amp wire then you usually have to splice the Power Ant. wire to the amps remote connection to power it up. I have a bit of experience with car audio asI did competitive car audio for a while which is why I’m called The Defpom… I had a competition car which was one of the top cars in the country for sound quality.
I was wondering how you came up with that name haha
@@BenCos2018 My little car sounded really good, to get good clean sound without distortion at a range of volume levels you need a bit of headroom in the system, it could play music at 136dB before the point of noticable distortion, you didn't even appreciate how loud it was as it was so clean, you only noticed when you tried to talk with someone and realised you couldn't hear yourself or them, normally you associate distortion with volume.
I miss that old setup, it had perfect imaging, staging, dynamic range, frequency response, I spent thousands of hours building and tuning the system.
So yeah, thats where the name comes from, LOL.
Haha, that is great to hear the history behind the name. Given your history Scott you may want to close your eyes and ears on episode 27 when I TRY to refoam the speakers using fabric wrapping tape and liquid tape 😂😎 you have been warned!
@@Mymatevince LOL
@@TheDefpom damn haha
Definitely an unusual name btw haha
Car radios are a real spaghetti of wires. I did not expect those speakers to sound that good! Now you can blast your favourite tunes while cruisin' down some busy city street, arm out the window. ;)
I know...how could they still produce sound so good. I was expecting whisper quiet rattles 🤣👍
@@TD75 😂I see, so it has full freedom to move but doesn't throw out the sound. I do attempt a homemade re-foam on episode 27!!!! I stress the 'attempt' part. Cheers Defense 👌
Well done Vince, and I expect if you turn off the automatic white balance on your camera your ought to be able to reduce some of the impact of the yellow mat. If in doubt, follow Ashens and see if you can source a brown mat. 😀👍
💩
Hahaha, now that would be something special! 👌
The complaint overdubs about the mat in the background bought tears to my eyes. Or maybe it was looking at the mat :).
Hahahaha 😂
I think the yellow mats Radioactive
😁
Hahaha, me looking around, who the heck is screaming here 😀 before realizing it's the comments screaming! 😀😀😀
Never the less, Vince get some cable ties and put those wires a bit in shape 😀It will help with the cable management when you put it all back and you might avoid cable rattling under the dashboard.
😂👍 Will do Marcel. I've been given some wrapping tape, I think it will finish off the job quite nicely 😎
excellent job Vince :) great looking up the wiring diagram helped a lot :) great also to see it all working right :) can't wait for the next video :) maybe newer speakers are in order though new rolls and all that :)
Yellow mat evil blue mat good. My eyeballs hurt
Hmm, I can feel the heat radiating from the yellow mat. I think it's perhaps RADIOactive!
🤣🤣👌
