My Becker Headunit Pics

[DebV6]

Got this fitted at the weekend, I'm pretty impressed! Didn't really know much about bluetooth headunits, but it's cool! I've got a little speaker fitted to the corner of my windscreen to take phonecalls through!

I think it looks good, I wanted this one because I didn't want one that looked really aftermarket, and this blends in nicely with the dash and doesnt stand out. I just needed one that could play mp3 cds/bluetooth etc.

Looks nice does that, blends in really well with the rest of the dash.

Hehe!

Debs - Good choice of headunit! It fits nicely with the interior of the car and the lights suit it as well! :approve:

It says 9 on your temp gauge, thats not cold!

Becker kick ass - best aftermarket headunit I've ever used.

 

[Iain C]

never heard of becker.
Its very subtle

 

[Christopher]

awesome bit of kit.

one of the best, easily

nice choice Deb

 

[Djw John]

Same as big gay al, very nice unit, I was really impressed with his

 

[DebV6]

Yep, I am really impressed with it. When I first started playing with it I though it was going to be really complicated to use, what with the bluetooth etc, but it's really simple actually! Think I need to get some speakers too though now.

The only pain is that I can't get the steering wheel adapter for it yet.

You can invert the colours on the screen to IIRC, would match the Climate Control readout then

Really, I've not figured that bit out yet!

Becker are Harmon Kardon.

Can you stream music via bluetooth to this one?

 

[elgrego]

it looks too standard and a bit cheap for me, but if harmon make it i expect it to sound good and bluetooth can't be bad.

What, because it has no flashy lights lol.

As I said in my first post, I wanted it because it looks standard. And I certainly don't think it looks cheap. Imo all the ones with fancy lights and chrome look cheap. I've found the bluetooth to be good, and it sounds better, but speakers would compliment it even more!

 

[elgrego]

what can i say, do i not like orange

 

[philmots]

looks identical to mine debs, good choice

You cant change the colour of the screen, just the dimness

 

[DebV6]

Thanks

You couldn't be more wrong - Becker are one of the best for build and finish, the volume knob and buttons are all nicely weighted. Compared to Sony, Alpine, etc. these feel worth the extra £££.

 

[muz]

becker make some quality units, they are right up there with Denon, Nak and the top end Alpines in my book

very subtle - no skanky ned chav thief scum wil want to nick that they will be after the sony crap

Who are you to tell me i'm wrong? I'm just saying that i prefer a different look and that is my opinion. i didn't say it was bad.

A previous owner, helping you to understand that less is more.

 

[bmh.01]

Nice hu, never heard one but supposed to be very good. No face off with these though?

 

[Pep]

how much was it, looks cool

 

[DebV6]

bmh - yeah it is a face off one

pepsi - I got it for £250, most places on the internet have them for £299-£350 though

 

[IB172]

If its good enough for a porsche, its good enough for a clio

 

[miltage2]

looks good babe, think the blaupunkt looks abit better but still i would have one! Good choice

 

[DebV6]

I looked at that blaupunkt one you showed me but it didn't look like it would go as well. Have you got it fitted yet?

 

[Alan]

Had mine in since November last year...i think i remember saying you about them when you were looking for a new one Deb?

For the people who've never heard of them....there is different HU's than the standard reno rubbish you know!!

 

[Gary-Lew]

Where did you buy it from Deb, been half and half about getting Becker or a Nak.

 

[DebV6]

Yeah Alan, I've been wanting to get it for a while now, took a while to get round to it though!

gtvlew, I got it from a place called guardian security round the corner from me. But this place also have it for around the same price that I payed http://www.prestigeaudiodirect.co.u...d/237?osCsid=95a80493c05f59d72d4ef135b69c528a

 

[cli0 172]

Had never heard of them till Alan bought one .... have to say i was impressed especially with the blue tooth ..... would consider one myself if in the market for a HU

 

[DebV6]

The bluetooth impressed me too, I didn't really know much about it before as I don't know anyone who has it. But definitly worth it!

 

[miketheman2k]

Becker or a Nak.

I had the same dilemma but went for the Becker because it supported mp3 and didn't require individual wire connections (i.e. could buy a standard converter). Think nak wins on sound quality though.

Tell me more about the bluetooth please Deb, and have you retained the use of your stalk controls too?

 

[DebV6]

What do you want to know about the bluetooth? I'm not sure if I've used it to it's full potential yet. All I really know is that it connects to your phone, so that everytime you get in the car, it's automatically paired via bluetooth. Then if you get any calls, it comes up through the hu, and there's a little speaker fitted to talk through. Not sure if you knew that already and meant something else, but that's all I've used it for so far!

At the moment, I don't have use of the controls, which is a bugger! I keep calling incartec reguarly, as they say that one is being made and should be out soon, but they don't know when! Although that's just with my stereo, if you have pre 05 reg, you might be ok.

 

[Dash]

Just what I wanted to know about the phone. Thank you.
