Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

My old iTrip worked in both my 406s - the reception was crap though; something to do with the aethermic windscreen or something?

Also, it picked up mobile phone "dit dit-dit-dit dit-dit-dit" noises ALL THE TIME so I chucked it. Useless POS.

There's no substitute for a good 3rd-party head unit with MP3 playback.
