Pioneer SPH-DA360DAB with wireless Apple CarPlay
I ended up mounting a Pioneer SPH-DA360DAB with wireless Apple CarPlay in the Smart Fortwo, instead of the old-school (and rather outdated) Smart Radio 9. I listen to a lot of podcasts while I drive, and I’ve been missing them a lot since I bought my little cabrio.Luckily the Smart Fortwo is prepared for any…

Biltema Rim Brush
Testing out the Biltema Rim Brush Art. 37-4503. The brush pretty much does what it says on the box. The bristles on the brush are stiff, and they are good at getting in everywhere except the tightest corners, where you have to work a fair bit harder. Some rim brushes can scratch the rims with…

Upgrading the fortwo’s radio to a 2-DIN CarPlay unit
The original radio is pretty old school, the most high-tech features it has to boast about, are TA (Traffic Announcement) and the integrated CD player. A lot has happened since 2009, and I can hardly remember when I last removed a CD from its cover, to play it on a CD-Player 🤔 I have chosen…

A “new” Smart Fortwo in the garage
At last. After driving a plain and very very boring Peugeot, for far too long, I’m back behind the steering wheel of a Smart Fortwo. I’ve been looking for what feels like ages, and yesterday I got a private message, with a tip. A very active member of the Danish Smart Club has passed away…

Nice fortwo cabrio, will he sell it?
I’ve seen this ad covered Smart Fortwo cabrio a lot, usually parked in the same highly visible parking space. How ever it has been gone most of the time, the past few weeks, so I wondered if it had done its job, and was up for sale. Sure enough, after contacting the company who’s stickers…

Searching for a “new” Smart Fortwo
I have been looking for one, on and off, since I had to let the last one go. However since the summer holiday, I’ve been hunting one down actively, with active alerts on all used-car websites. There are a few minimum requirements; Cabriolet, Diesel and Air-con as a minimum. Electrical windows, cruise control, heated seats…

NOT my next Smart Fortwo
I’ve been looking for a new Smart for a while now, and a few days ago i saw, that, a dealer on Funen, had a nice fully loaded “penguin” (white on a black frame), that sounded amazing on paper, so we almost crossed the country, to try it out, and hopefully take it home, for…

Smart fortwo Brabus wheel arches
I bought a set of original Smart fortwo Brabus wheel arches for my 450, in able to cover the wider Smart Roadster wheels from sticking out from my original arches. The Brabus wheel arches are easy to mount. They are just pressed on to the arches lip, and three small springs do what they can,…

Roadster wheels on my Smart fortwo
I like the look, of the steel rims on the Smart fortwo, especially the deep dishes on the Roadster wheels, so I’ve bought a set for mine, instead of taking the usual alloy route. The original steel wheels have been equipped with winter tyres, and the new Smart Roadster rims have received a set of…
