I thought the sub woofer wasn’t working properly as there was more tapping coming from it than real sound. I took the covers off to find pretty much what I was expecting:
From what I’ve read finding a replacement would be very hard so I’ve ordered a re-foam kit which should hopefully bring it back to life again.
All I know about the current ICE is that it’s still got the original CD/MD/Radio it came from the factory with:
It doesn’t have the Bose option, so no tasty sub-woofer in the rear floor. As a consolation prize though it does have a plastic floor protector.
My plan as it stands now will be to add the ability to play DVDs on the roof mounted screen in the back by swapping out the head unit for a nice new Android powered double DIN unit. This will also allow audio to be played from phones over Bluetooth or from USB/SD. Of course, this is only a plan and it might have to change once I can physically look at the setup when I get the car. I’ve got no plans to change the speakers unless they’re starting to fall apart.
The head unit I’m thinking about getting is this Pumpkin 6.95 inch touchscreen unit running Android 4.4.
For the price it seems to be almost perfect (the only drawbacks I see so far is that only DVD can be output to Video Out, not a video being played from USB/SD/Internet, and that it doesn’t have DAB radio).
I’m interested to see what’s possible with the built-in OBD functionality.
