Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Nope. It's done. They are as fragile as buggery. They are held in with 2 tabs at the top that have holes that sit over pins (like as in a pivot) and are held in at the bottom with a little clip. Your holes will have fractured or tabs torn off completely.
At least the fascia is easy enough to get off once you get the head unit out.

When I bought our D3 the eject button was gone. I checked some wreckers in Perth but they wanted > $200 for a head unit. I ended up posting a "wanted" on the D3UK forums and got a fascia missing a couple of buttons but having the one I wanted.
Unfortunately it doesn't have the button you need because it's a different model.

So in a "pay it forward", I have a 6CD-465 fascia missing the eject and buttons above the "phone" button. If anyone needs a button, I'll post anywhere in Aus.

As others have said, these buttons eventually go. I have had a couple of buttons crack recently. I put a strip of black tape across the top to hold them in until I can get around to sourcing some new buttons or facia. Another job for the New Year...

A criminal act.

Ouch! I would definitely not be happy with that. I think someone should explain to tyre shop the difference between clip-on and adhesive stick-on wheel balancing weights.

Replaced the Pu air line that I used when I hard wired my compressor with nylon tube, the Pu had swelled and burst.
Jammed the spare wheel underneath deflated, for want of 10mm it would almost fit fully inflated.
I know how I could get the space but it means some mods

Did you run some braided hose between compressor and nylon line?

It’s a common practice as it gives the air time to cool before entering the nylon - removes a very common point of failure.

No but there is a check valve, brass fitting and alloy manifold between them (about 10cm) and i found that the PU tube didnt have a high enough temp rating, the nylon had a much higher temp rating and good for 290 psi. Also there isn't enough room for a length of braided hose well not without reworking the whole setup and its pretty tight in there.

The final part of my D4 sound upgrade arrived today. Very excited to hear it working
