| Would it bother you if your sounds didnt work? How much would you be bothered if your ICE system was not working?
Personally I think I could live without any music for a couple of weeks but on a long journey I would view it as vital and it would be a priority fix.
Am I alone on this one then?

| Re: Would it bother you if your sounds didnt work? Hey Lutonmatt you drive for half a songs worth and I'm guessing we're not talking Bohemian Rhapsody either. Short runs are really bad for your car at least go round the block a few times. |

| Re: Would it bother you if your sounds didnt work? Take some pics at the show - it would be great to see your gallery of yank tanks! I'm quite a few others would also be interested as well. |

| Re: Would it bother you if your sounds didnt work? I couldn't live without music for more than maby 4-5 days. I listen to music all the time (when I'm not working or at school) plus I'm a musician so I both listen to my own stuff when I'm working on it and when I am planning on writing a new song I often use other peoples music for inspiration. I have once tryed to drive for a while without music but then I was doing everything I could to get a car with a working stereo

| Re: Would it bother you if your sounds didnt work? I have been without sounds for about 5 months, so I got my finger out and fitted the HU that was in the boot.
Its nice having sounds again, but for some reason I have to turn them off for reversing, and I keep turning them off on long journeys so I can hear if everything is ok with the car. TBH I think I probably fitted it more for the wife and kids benefit. |

| Re: Would it bother you if your sounds didnt work? Well, you can't beat the sound of a finely tuned car! I even turn my music off sometimes just to wind the windows and listen to the exhaust. Ahhhh heaven! |

I turn the music up to rid of the noise of my car.
Diesel has such a horrid sound. Its such a shame.
