    Bluetooth thingy for Bekker Cascade

    Mine doesn’t auto connect either - I need to go into the Bluetooth section of my phone settings and select the device each time. My one was A$23 (not too dissimilar to what yours cost) so I really can’t complain. I just wish I didn’t have to pull it out so frequently. Hopefully you don’t...

    Bluetooth thingy for Bekker Cascade

    I have the same sort of set up in my GranSport but I find that it works really well for maybe a week or two and then it doesn’t want to connect to my phone anymore, so I need to pull out the head unit, disconnect the dongle and plug it back in again and then it works again. A little frustrating…

    Secondary cat delete

    Hi all, I have a 2006 GranSport that I am absolutely loving. I am looking at various exhaust mods such as secondary cat delete (I have the Euro 4 exhaust system with 4 cats) or potentially an unresonated x-pipe. I have heard good things about the secondary cat delete as it allows the engine to...

    4200/GranSport luggage set?

    Thanks for that. I have never seen a picture of them so great to finally see what they look like! My GranSport is Grigio touring with the full black leather interior, so the set you have is probably what I would be looking for (black). I will keep my eyes peeled for any sets that may come up...

    4200/GranSport luggage set?

    Was the set for the 4200/GranSport made by Ferragamo? I can’t even find pictures of the 4200/GranSport set - I keep getting the GranTurismo set pop up!

    4200/GranSport luggage set?

    Thank you for your replies. Good to know they actually exist and thanks also for the thread on the custom set - looks great! I will keep my eyes peeled for an original set and will also consider a custom set. Thanks again

    4200/GranSport luggage set?

    Hi there. Hope everybody is well. Random question - did the GranSport have an optional luggage set that was available at the time of initial purchase? I see GranTurismo ones pop up from time to time but have never seen any for the 4200/GranSport so am curious if they exist. Many thanks

    Need to replace my front speakers

    Thanks. I was looking at getting brand new Focal 165AS door speakers and just wanted to know if they were simple to connect or if I needed some sort of converter or something to allow the standard Gransport plugs to connect to the new speakers as I was hoping to just buy them online and install...

    Need to replace my front speakers

    Hi Spartacus, I am looking into these at the moment - are they are straight swap in terms of disconnecting the original door speakers (both speakers on each door) and connecting these or do the connectors need to be changed? Many thanks

    Adding Bluetooth to GranSport

    Ok that seemed to work! Thank you. I can stream music from my phone - terrific. I will need to play around with it when I get some time to get the mic for the phone to work but what I really wanted was the music part so am really happy. Thanks again!

    Adding Bluetooth to GranSport

    Brilliant!! Exactly what I needed - thank you so much. That explains why it seemed to “work” with both plugs in but couldn’t work out how to make the headunit actually pick up my phone - that explains it! Will give it a go today - fingers crossed!! Thanks again

    Adding Bluetooth to GranSport

    I have given this a go and it still doesn’t seem to work. Oddly enough when I had both the blue and green plugs from the BT dongle plugged in, the blue light on the dongle came on and the CD change still functioned. When I disconnect the factory blue plug and just connect the BT blue plug, the...

    Adding Bluetooth to GranSport

    Thank you very much for pointing that out - the info was right there in front of me. Apologies. Ok so I will disconnect just the blue from the back of the headunit and will connect just the blue plug of the Bluetooth dongle to it. I assume to connect to Bluetooth I press the CD changer button...

    Adding Bluetooth to GranSport

    Hi all, So my Bluetooth dongle thing arrived and I tried to connect but I seem to be having some issues. When I pull out the blue/green/yellow plug as shown in pic and plug in the blue/green plug for the Bluetooth dongle, the CD changer still seems to work and I can’t workout what setting I need...

    Adding Bluetooth to GranSport

    Thanks all for your replies. I have just bought one and will let you know how I get on. Is it pretty obvious which plug is for the CD changer that I need to disconnect? I have never touched this stuff before but am sure it can’t be too hard. Thanks again

    Adding Bluetooth to GranSport

    Thanks for your reply! Do I need to disconnect the CD stacker or is there a spare port that this just plugs into? I assume it can only really plug into one spot so should be pretty easy to tell where it needs to go? Many thanks!

    Adding Bluetooth to GranSport

    Hi all, Please forgive me if this has been addressed 100 times before but I am looking to add Bluetooth capability to my GranSport so I can stream music from my phone (Spotify, YouTube etc) as well as make and answer calls. I know I can simply upgrade the headunit, though I would prefer to keep...

    Mobile PPI in Victoria

    Thank you BL330 I’m sorry you had to go through all that and really appreciate the advice! I’m not sure if getting the car towed there will be agreed to by the owner but worth a shot I suppose. The joys of buying a car from interstate! I’ve spent thousands between inspections and deposits etc...

    Mobile PPI in Victoria

    I'm not having much luck with this PPI. Nobody willing to travel and others (including the great suggestion of Maranello Pur-Sang) are completely booked for weeks, so even if I could get it towed there, it would take too long. Looks like I might have to take a punt and pray its a good one! Thank...

    Mobile PPI in Victoria

    Thank you Foibles for your reply. Yes, I was looking at a black coupe, but it was a cc not a manual. That was Australian delivered, 100k kms but had a large gap in the service history (around 60k kms from memory). The owner wasn’t prepared to take it anywhere for a PPI and couldn’t get anybody...
