SHOW US YOUR AFTERMARKET HEAD UNIT !!! ??

[McGherkin]

Sony MEX BT-2600

Microphone is pretty bad but apart from that it's a good HU. Love bluetooth audio streaming. Press play while walking up to car, get in, start engine, music playing on stereo. Winning.

Even if I don't have my phone, I just play music straight off the USB, the tiny stick in the above picture is fricking awesome, 16GB on that.

Also has a full set of RCA outputs, which I'll never use.

Quality stereo I had the 8600 same generation sounded amazing

 

[Goodj]

I used to really want a Nakamichi (?), no ghey flashy graphics, just quality audio.

Sony stuff makes my eyes bleed and my Kenwood seems to be back-lit by xenons on high-beam

i thought nakamichi had gone.

i still believe they could of done a little more to the looks of their units

I had one of these and loved it. A nice new version with a rear-usb slot and Bluetooth would be perfect.

 

[danbent]

How did you carbon wrap your switch surround?? Just pop it out and wrap it, looks mint!

 

[danbent]

Do you have a link for this ?

 

[EvilPanda]

can I make any radio work togather with original scean ?

 

[Simon_16v]

 

[davo172]

Does your dash display work ok with this and show station etc ?

 

[Simon_16v]

No it doesn't show any information at all apart from time and temperature. The adaptor for allowing use of the screen is around £80 and I only paid £46 for the unit so wouldn't be worth the money IMO

 

[Goodj]

What! My lead cost £70 5 years ago and did track/album/artist/RDS text.

But the display-out feature on Alpine isn't on the lower-end of the range. For the iPod head units that used to mean you needed the full-colour screen.

Sony MEX-BT2900.

Had this for about 2 years now and had no issues, sound quality is great for me, but I've only ever had this HU and an old Blaupunkt one.

Got this bluetoothed up to my iPhone, so just get in, start the car up and press play!

 

[McGherkin]

nice, am a big fan of Sony

Well get one then instead of that minidisc thing you use!

 

[mtbjonny92]

I've never been a big spender on head units.. but I've found that anything with a MOSFET amp in it sounds pretty mint! Think JVC and Pioneer are using them in their 'cheaper' units. Currently got a pioneer Mixtrax something or other.. Improved the speaker quality 10 fold over the standard head unit and allows me to add both a sub and amp the front speakers. Huzzah!

Cuz French car

 

[bozothenutter]

How many pennies ? link ?

the site was adn auto http://www.adnauto.fr/ paud about €100 with postage.

but be carefull when ordering, as they add all kinds of insurance and warranty which you have to remove manually from your basket.

and it is all in french ofcourse.......

 

[inpassing]

Cuz French car

exactly lol!!!

Fantastic piece of kit - I wouldn't have paid £500 for it though, in the motor before I had it. Pioneer AVIC-F910BT:

Oh, and yes it's not a Clio! Looking to swap to a Clio

 

[Goodj]

Double din is for true ballers

Anyone got a parrot asteroid fitted in a clio ?

Yes..

 

[Goodj]

What are they like? The car-kit version of the asteroid was really good for 5 minutes at a time, in between freezing and crashing.

Another vote for Alpine here.

My CDA-117ri is fully hooked up to the standard display unit.

The stalk controls still work, and also control my iPhone 5 which is linked via a cable in the glovebox (and a cheapo lighning adapter).

The sound quality is absolutely top drawer, helped by the Genesis amp & uprated components I'm running.

Recently bought the alpine ute-204dab, wanted to make the lcd work as yours, whats the adaptor that you bought ?
