.....And the installation of the PIP module depends of the type of Avant, but you could do it i think, i did one on the T8111 which is installing the board (yes: with the torx screw, and you'll needs torx (15 i think) to open the Avant).

Plug one connector in and cut 4 jumpers on the board behind it, for the later Avants it might be different again...

Hi:

Thanks, you learn something new every day - I also like messing around with old Jags and I often use star drive sockets which is what that is. I probably invented that term but am glad I know the right term now...

You need a splind screwdriver, more manufacturers are using them now, but can be purchased from Halfords in the UK because they are also used on cars.

Graham, if it is like the one for the MX5000 then it is just plug and play. Not sure about a special Screwdriver. Would imagine it just a Torx type so easily available.

Hi:

I have a basic understanding of electronics and have built and stripped down PCs in the past. Thus if I bought a PinP module for my Avant would it be like installing say a PCI card or ram upgrade in a PC. Also I have heard I would need a special screwdriver - is this B&O specific or could I get it from a hardware store?

Thanks

Graham
