Interesting...Where did you put the unit? Does it interfere with the existing Bluetooth calls? Car looks sweet BTW.Coffee331 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 10:24 pmUsed this....works greatTcochrane92 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 10:17 pmGood job!

I left the unit behind the pop out panel under the heater controls. If I ever want to use the sd or usb I can get at it easily...although I doubt I ever will lol. I only drive the car at weekends, only fitted the unit recently so haven’t used it much but it seems to do exactly as advertised so far.idej_jedi wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 10:29 pmInteresting...Where did you put the unit?

The g spot is all that comes up when you Google it!
Edit: Found it, it's a flasher... http://www.gstop.co.uk/
Not sure if it works on pre-facelift but I coded flashing brake lights under hard braking on my coupe.

I thought it was something codeable too? Does anyone know? For the pre facelift...

It’s nothing to do with G spots
I don’t know if the flashing brake lights can be coded on a pre facelift; I don’t recall seeing anything on Carly but I wasn’t really looking for it either.
I had bought a G Stop for my main car and they emailed me with offering a second unit massively discounted so I thought why not for the Z
It’s a good product, works well and simple to fit.
