Good job - I have an Si, awesome car, so much fun.

Mine has just rolled over 40k (kilometers) and the lower mileage ones are hard to find!

Enjoy :driving:

I'm pretty sure the aux-in was standard after September 2006 build dates. Mine was built in August 06, but someone has retro-fitted one in the glovebox. :)

Good new about the roof motor being moved to the boot - you should see it in front of the nearside rear wheel-arch. Now we just need some photos. :lol:
Aux standard on 2007 model year cars.

Doesn’t mean to say that a 2008 car will have it though. Could have been sitting around for a while before being registered.

Lucky man - you've got CC fitted as well, fairly rare option :thumbsup: . Are you sure you don't have an aux port - did you check that panel under the aircon dials in the centre of the dash? It's easy to miss. That is a very nice looking E85 you've scored, well done.

Edit - just saw crazyharry had already spotted the cruise control - sorry :oops:

Good find OP. If you can't find an Aux socket don't worry, they are easy to retro fit with a hit that leaves the socket either in the ash tray, or flush with the underside of the centre console, just above the roof/heated seat buttons. "blue tooth prep" could have meant one of those cheap 12v bt adaptors plugged into the cigarette lighter.

You definitely don't have sat nav - the basic sat nav has a different looking looking radio/CV fascia, and the proper OEM system has a pop-up display above directly above the radio - yours doesn't have this. TBH you're not missing out; a 11 year old satnav isn't a big loss.

Lovely looking car. Great find. You’ll have some fun especially when the weather improves and you get the top down. :thumbsup:

Yes, that's what is weird!

My 1st Coupe was built in October 2006 and had it, but my current one was built in August 2006 and it's been retro-fitted - yet the October built one was registered a week before the August built one in December 06. :?
