nick1972 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Just booked my 2004 M3 cab in for the official Ipod adaptor to be fitted Happy days. Only £34 plus 1.5 hours labour is a bargain when you consider 1200 tracks will soon be at the end of my fingers on my steering wheel! 6 disc changer will soon be HISTORY.

BURTON Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Nice like it!! Due to me having a older BM I have gotten a Alpine and adaptor kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I really like the looks of that. So much so that a short while ago I rang my dealership and they said yes, no problem, blah blah. Then, they said "Oooh no, you can't". Me : "Why?" Them "You have SatNav Pro" Me : "So?" Them : "Not compatible" Me : "***" Sure enough, having rechecked the requirements, it doesn't work in a car with Satnav (whether it is post 2002 or not). Such a shame because I like the looks of it and it'd get rid of the occasionally jumping on the CD changer in the boot. Perhaps they'll get a workaround in future, I hope so.

NewNiceMrMe Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I'd like to say I'm sorry to disappoint you but bearing in mind the "Auf Wiedersehen" and the other sarcastic comments I'm not. Whilst most others expressed their views in a considered and constructive manner you seemed intent on typing nothing other than the rubbish which you so regularly deem fit to criticise from others. As for the "M3MEME" tag, I'd suggest you look a bit closer to home before questioning others egos. You'd expect a bit more constructive comment from Moderators, but in fairness to the rest of them that is what they gave. You seemed intent on being the exception to the rule so perhaps we can agree to stay clear of each other on here and I'll post responsibly if you can resist comment for comments sake, in respect of which I am of course aware of your need to moderate the forum when necessary.

Brabus Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 'ang on a minute. After all that in your LOJ post expressing your regrets, disappointments and so on you're now not not posting? And as for me being the exception to the rule; out of the 5,000+ users on TS.net you had a 10 or so people expressing their support. I might be somewhat more vocal but hardly an exception to the rule, matey. I have nothing against you - I don't even know you. All I asked several times was for you to chill out with your posting. Anyone who posts 2000+ in a month WILL rub people up the wrong way and you did. You even made it your challenge to piss people off, and now you're complaining when people don't like you?! Having made a very public announcement saying you wouldn't post any more you've now made a massive U-turn. Maybe I could give you some advice? Stop being an attention-seeker, reflect before making a post, don't blanket-post and I think you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I have to agree with chris on that one. Mate I don't know you either, but it appears you have spent your life savings on your dream car and seem intent on telling anyone who will listen about the smallest incident relating to your car. Personally speaking, to me my car is just another lump of metal, sure it cost loads, but its just a car mate. Try getting out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being an attention-seeker, reflect before making a post, don't blanket-post and I think you'll be fine. [/ QUOTE ] See, every time you amply demonstrate my point. Where on earth do you get this from? Your perception of others is extremely tainted and I can only presume that is from an inner conviction that all must follow your own traits. Perhaps if you viewed posts as simply what they said, rather than cast your own cynical eyes over every word in them, you would appreciate the fact that attention seeking was not my goal. I do realise those are lost words though because my final post was nothing other than civil in every way; but still drew the barbed comments from you. As for the support from 10 or so TSN-ers it is very interesting that once again you claim to have 5,000 users registered - which you may have - and then use this in a statistical comparison of how that equates to the support I received. What utter rubbish, and you know it. How many of those are active and can be appropriately quoted in comparison to those that regularly (every week) post on TSN - very few as a percentage of your quoted total from what I have seen. So please don't quote one-sided statistics just when you feel the need to distort an argument. How many of those even knew about my cause for complaint? Quite where you get the 10 from I'm not so sure either....unless....ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY TSN'S PROMOTION OF PM'S AREN'T PM'S...ARE THEY PERHAPS PM'S THAT MODERATORS HAVE ACCESS TO? If they're not, how on earth do you have any conception as to the support I received from users who perhaps didn't want to suffer a fate in a forum from such as yourself? Facts - thats what I have dealt in throughout this issue and you have responded with nothing but conjecture and sarcasm. It speaks volumes. As for my massive U-turn. I shall be posting, but in small quantities (awaiting sarcastic response no doubt). Those posts will be on items I feel I can add value to or contribute, and of course postings in request of assistance or advice. I may join the odd thread in LoJ, but as this is governed by partizan moderation that misses one thing and picks up on another thing, with no degree of difference between the two, that is highly unlikely. Take the post with the Tsunami joke. Only sidick had the balls to say it as it was. Even moderators lessened their stance to Colin_M's joke - anyone else would have been slaughtered on the spot, it is nothing other than publically demonstrated bias. But, my change of stance isn't a massive U-turn by definition. Instead, perhaps you could analyse it again and see it as a capacity to absorb comments, consider their full worth and reasoning, and then reverse a decision in part on the basis that I can gain information from it and others seem to want to share the same gathering of information from myself. It all depends on perception and your view on life - what you see as a massive u-turn others with a more open mind (and frankly more seasoned in reasonable thought) will perceive as a reaction to feedback. The latter is summary in its paragraph - because it epitomises the total lack of reasoning and objective response you demonstrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 The dealer I spoke to, and the website you provided the link to, say not. Just on your earlier comment too, perhaps you would like to gather your facts before coming out with statements such as "spent your life savings on a dream car". If you know me, speak with authority, if you don't, perhaps a demonstration of keeping a mouth shut when the brain is not in gear would be suitable for you. On the other hand if you are used to spouting conjecture along with completely unsubstantiated facts and drivel, well continue to but please don't subject my lifestyle to its amateurish gaze. Pathetic. Thats what people are who make lifestyle guesses, as well as being wide of the mark nearly all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollox Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Jesus. Moderators have no access to a user's Private messages and wouldn't if they could I am sure. Please also do us a favour and decide what you're doing. This is now the 2nd time you have "left" and haven't; I can't stand internet drama and hystrionics. Either stay or go. Its not for me to decide which, and ultimately I don't really mind either way. Its really getting boring now. As are the silly sig messages which, I should add, are themselves unsubstantiated. Sorry for sounding so ratty but I've just got home, I'm in a crap mood and I can't be bothered with all this kicking off again. Oh and it should be more than 2-0...not that you'd think it after 30 mins. Also, this is a post about Ipods - if you want to rant on somewhere you can have a forum dedicated to it.

NewNiceMrMe Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Mollox I posted the comment regarding the PM's to emphasise a point - that being how would anyone know what support I had received. I haven't left twice though, just to be correct, just the once. I mabe intimated I would be leaving, but it ultimately comprised the one departure and for the same linked reason. I will remove the sig, but it isn't unsubstantiated. Those that did post negative comments had either never entered debate with me online or said almost the opposite when they did so. Hence the sig. Regarding the scoreline, I'm not watching it as a Man United fan and didn't realise there we quote so many Liverpool fans on here (alas!). We won't be in the final as we will be taken apart with our 50/50 reserves and first team combo tomorrow. Then, Chelsea will probably destroy Liverpool in the final. If we do meet Liverpool in the final, well thats another thread altogether I'm sure... p.s. i won't be starting any thread that discusses my leaving or re-joining, nor did I start this one on that subject. I will reply to anyone "having a go" if I think they're not in possession of the facts or to give my own perspective on matters, but not to deliberately inflame a situation unless I have to defend myself in the face of fiction.

Chap, I couldn't give a flying f'''k about your lifestyle, if you can afford a fleet of M3's, then good on you. I am not short of a bob or two either. What is SAD about your lifestyle though is the need to spend good money on a Phoenix Yellow/Kiwi combo cabriolet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I need direct no further comments regarding your outlook on the basis that I would merely ask someone of sound mind to read and consider the post you have given above. In respect of the iPod compatibility, to confirm my source in respect of information, on the "Just the facts" page it specifically states "Not available for vehicles fitted with navigation system". As I said, I didn't see this myself at first and it was the dealer who notified me of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
