Guest StaggerLee Guests Posted 08/05/03 01:54 AM Share Posted 08/05/03 01:54 AM Cam,Sounds awesome. I've only seen one orange XR6 and that was at a local dealership. It is a bloody good colour.You said you had a new phone presenter. I just have the one that comes with the car and I find it is too far back for my liking when I drive.Where is yours located and do you mind posting some photos of it?I'm not really happy with mine and would be interested to see what other people have done with theirs.

(We don't have that problem in W.A.) :LOL2: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/2860-picked-up-my-xr6t/#findComment-21662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have the one that comes with the car and I find it is too far back for my liking when I drive.Where is yours located and do you mind posting some photos of it?The 'new' phone presenter is almost exactly the same as the 'old' one, its just sturdier. Apparently the 'old' ones were breaking a lot in the field so Ford went back to the supplier to make new ones that are stronger.They look almost identical and goes in the same spot. (If you want I can still post a photo though) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/2860-picked-up-my-xr6t/#findComment-21668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a Jaycar kit or something? No - I have desinged and built a number of devices (about 85mm x 65mm) that you wire into the window controller to make them automatic.Installing them is as simple as cutting and joining 2 wires!I can post pictures if you are interested.
