I’ve just added this little hottie to the car.
It’s a blue tooth radio transmitter thingie, putting an iPhone (or other blue tooth cellular device) onto an old car radio. Plugs into the fag lighter.

I can attest to its wonderful function once you find an fm frequency that keeps away from an existing used frequency.
The only time it struggles is when you have your hand over the device and then you get a little static.
Great for listening to music or audio books from your device as well as hands free phone calls.
All for the princely sum of $18.

Much better than they used to be or it has any right to be for this type of money!

Ah, Mr Honda. Now that would be an ecumenical answer...

New part arrived, so should have lots of fan options soon.

Think the car may have come with an unwanted passenger. Either that or it’s just a stinky car as it warms up.

Mt mx-5 still stinks of mouse piss now and then when I put the heater on. I'm not sure you can ever get rid of the smell.

I wonder if it's soaked into the plastics within the heater?

That aircon cleaner moose you spray in the intake maybe?

When I took the seats out of mine to fit the roll bar, there was little nests of chewed up paper underneath. No knawing damage luckily though.

First step. Admit you have a problem...

And wait for the little ***kers to show themselves!

A friend of a friend has one of those ozone creating machines. Apparently they can take most car interior smells away. I may have to see if I can find one cheap or borrow one... Might resolve the mouse problem too!

I was once accused of eating a couple of Mars bars a grateful customer has once left for my dad, I hadn't and knew nothing about them, months later the 2 Mars bar wrappers were found in a rat's nest and I got an apology!
