In addition, I added something else!!!! It's the DLS 4 channel amp!
Due to space constraint, I could not add the A4, so settled for the reference series.
More to come!

Finally.... The Alpine W202 head unit is up!
After a few false starts, and putting this baby in cold storage for about 2 whole years, finally got off my butt and took the Alpine W202 set and all the accessories to be fixed up at Darren Audio yesterday. Optical cable, Ipod Cable, 701 processor, remote, etc, were all installed.

Roof Soundproof problem again!
Arrgh, the roof sound proof is giving me problems again!! So back to AutoSavers again!
Now the 3M Thinsulate fabric is 'drooping', causing the roof to gag during operations.
Apparently, this is the first time they have this problem. For most other cars with sunroof, the clearance between the roof and the glass is higher. For Toyota Wish, it seems to be much lower. Hence, there's only so much you can put in that gap.
Anyway, finally give up and removed the 3M Thinsulate that's above the recessed roof area. Let's see how it goes.

Under Carriage Soundproof
Ok. Went to AutoSavers to do the 3M undercarriage protection spray. Drove the car in, the wheels came off and the car was hoisted up.
They peeled out the "banana leaf" cover for the wheel arches to expose the metal underneath. So the 3M coating is applied between the chasis and the wheel arch.
This is the before and after pictures for the wheel section...
As I've done the front wheel arch with the foam sprays, they could not do it anymore so I left it as it was. The under carriage was also sprayed.
This protection spray is also anti-rust protection for the under carriage and comes with a 10 years warranty. Cost of the project is S$648, together with the sunroof soundproofing with 3M thinsulate. That's to be arranged seperately as I don't have time to do everything at one go.
Incidentaly, this is the first time that I saw my donut ring!!
After the session, went to my god mother's place for dinner and the battery went dead. Again. Realised that I forgot to switch off the radio and the whole 4 hours it was at Autosavers, it was turned on. Thank goodness Thomas and gang was still at Audio Concept and within 25 minutes of the call, my car was alive again.

More new stuff for my wish!!
Finally installed an alarm for my car! As usual, you end up installing more frills than what you originally intended to. So in the end, the damage was:
01. Smartlock 1 way alarm at S$180
02. Smartlock immobiliser with fuel and starter cut at S$200
03. Auto Fold and Reverse Tilt module for side mirror at S$180
04. Sound proofing for 3rd row seat and rear wheel arch at S$200
To be honest, I really like the Magicar alarm system from Korea. Comes with loads of feature at only S$320. However, X model users will lose the remote function of their car key and you have to carry an additional LCD controller. As if I don't have enough stuff in my pockets. So in the end, opted for a simple 1 way alarm system from Smart Lock. I thought the immobiliser with card key was a hassle, but it seems that you can leave it in the car and remove it when you need the added security. Cheap protection I suppose, hopefully it works when you need it.
I've always like the auto folding mirrors! Just leave the car and lock it, it folds! And now, with the reverse tilt, my left mirror automatically tilts downwards to help with curb side visibility during parking. Best of all, whenever you see your side mirrors folded, you know you've locked your car. Cool!
As for the 3rd row seat and rear wheel arch sound proofing, I admit it may amount not to much further sound reduction. Just an indulgence.
